View of a Toleman TG185, campaigned in the 1985 Formula One World Championship, on display at the 2022 Silverstone Classic
The Toleman TG185 was a Formula One racing car designed by Rory Byrne for use by the Toleman team in the 1985 Formula One World Championship. The car was largely similar to the previous year's TG184, apart from a revised suspension to deal with running different rubber and revised rear bodywork. The car was powered by the 800 bhp (597 kW; 811 PS) Hart 415T straight-4 turbocharged engine. The TG185 made its debut at the Monaco Grand Prix. At first, a single car was entered for Italian Teo Fabi, who had previously driven for the team in 1982. From the Austrian Grand Prix onwards, a second car was entered for another Italian driver, Piercarlo Ghinzani, who joined the team from Osella. Fabi gave Toleman its first and only pole position at the German Grand Prix, held at the new Nürburgring. This was to be the team's only highlight of 1985, as the TG185 was otherwise unreliable and saw the finish line just twice all year, when Fabi finished 14th in France and 12th in Italy.
