Toleman Motorsport was a Formula One constructor based in the UK, active between 1981 and 1985. The TG183 was Toleman's second generation F1 car (replaced the TG181) and it was introduced at the end of the 1982 season driven by Derek Warwick. It was designed by Rory Byrne as a ground effect car, powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine built and developed by Hart Racing Engines, called Hart 415T. With ground-effects banned for 1983, Byrne was forced to redesign the TG183 raced that year. The updated version of the car, designated TG183B, was introduced at the beginning of the season and Warwick was joined at Toleman by Bruno Giacomelli.

The TG183B was pretty distinctive for its twin rear wings and for the radiators mounted ''inside'' the front wing, giving it the look of a hammerhead shark. Unfortunately this configuration caused the front of the car to move about at high speed and was eventually replaced on the TG184 by a more conventional front wing set up. The TG183B was also used for the first 4 races of the 1984 season when Ayrton Senna made his F1 debut alongside Johnny Cecotto.
