The Toyota TF106 is a Formula One car developed and engineered by Toyota for competing in the 2006 Formula One season. The chassis was designed by Mike Gascoyne, John Litjens and Nicolò Petrucci with the engine being designed by Luca Marmorini. The car is an evolution of the previous year's TF105. The team began testing the car in November 2005, months earlier than any other team.
