The Honda-backed team had planned to unveil the SA08 car during a test at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya on February 19th but instead scheduled a question and answer session with founder Aguri Suzuki and technical director Mark Preston.
Super Aguri, who finished ninth overall last year with Japan's Takuma Sato and Britain's Anthony Davidson, have yet to confirm their driver line-up.
However the team have said they hope to continue with the existing pairing and an announcement could be made later this week. The season starts in Australia on March 16th.
The cash-strapped team have not tested since December although the 2008 car passed its mandatory FIA crash test last week.
Aguri, the smallest team in Formula One, have been talking to various potential investors including India's Spice Group who have backed that country's former Formula One driver Narain Karthikeyan.
