The red colour scheme, the brainchild of Mugen founder Hirotoshi Honda, features the message, 'Thank you very much Medical Staff!' written in both Japanese and English in large white writing on both sides of the car.
It replaces Mugen's traditional white livery with black, gold and red highlights, although these colours can be still be seen on the car's front wing.
Hirokatsu Tanaka, who has taken over from Shinji Nakano as Mugen team director, commented: "We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of those involved in the medical field, their families and loved ones, and their efforts on the front line of healthcare.
