Formula One tail-enders Super Aguri will unveil their 2007 car less than a week before the start of the new season in Australia on March 18.

The Honda-backed team, whose drivers are Japan's Takuma Sato and Briton Anthony Davidson, said in a statement on Tuesday that the SA07 would be launched in Tokyo on March 12.

The new car could be a controversial one, with some rivals such as Spyker and Williams already preparing for protests should it bear too close a resemblance to last year's race-winning Honda.

Formula One rules say teams must design and build their own chassis.
