Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso are still open to re-branding their Renault engines this season if they can find a suitable partner, said team principal Franz Tost.
Sister team and former world champions Red Bull Racing also use power units supplied by Renault but carrying the name of watch brand Tag Heuer rather than the French manufacturer.
Toro Rosso, who have switched from Ferrari power and finished seventh overall last year, revealed their new STR12 car at the Circuit de Catalunya on Sunday.

'T here are still negotiations going on,' Tost said when asked about the engine situation.
'We are free to do this (change the name) and once we have found a partner which wants to do a deal, then we are more than open to negotiate this. It can happen during the season as well.'
Toro Rosso became the final team to unveil their 2017 car on Sunday evening, as drivers Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat pulled the wraps off the STR12 - complete with much-revised livery - at Spain's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The Italian team hope their new machine, lower and wider than its predecessor as per the 2017 regulations, will help them improve on their seventh place overall last year, which was achieved using old-spec Ferrari engines.
Design changes aside, its most striking feature is its colour scheme - still blue, but much lighter than the traditional shade of the team's parent company Red Bull, with which fans have become familiar over recent years.

'For all Formula One fans, 2017 should be a year of excitement and uncertainty, as the sport's technical regulations have undergone one of the biggest changes we have seen in a couple of decades,' added .
'In simple terms, the cars are wider, longer, lower, faster, noisier and use bigger tyres, promising more grip, higher cornering speeds and hopefully even closer racing.
'Everyone in the team has worked extremely hard to ensure we have a very competitive season. Our chassis is mated to what is possibly the most competitive engine we have had so far in the hybrid era, as we return to Renault power once more.'
