The name Brabham returns

Sir Jack Brabham won the World Championship title in Formula One in 1966, in addition to a self-built car that has never been seen before in the history of the racing circus. And his son, David Brabham, is a multiple Le Mans winning pilot who is determined to resurrect the Brabham name. To do this, he developed a racing car, which can also receive a license plate with minor modifications.

It was christened BT62 true to Brabham’s earlier nomenclature and was the first to make the track car out of it. In connection with the BT62, Brabham has promised that the street version will not be much different from what they start in the races. Now here, apart from the license plate BT62R and a few little things, it really has become the same machine.

To be somewhat suitable for street use, so its ground clearance is adjustable, it has been given a new exhaust system that significantly reduces the noise load in the cabin, as well as air conditioning and a heated windshield in the BT62R. The front bumper and rear diffuser have also been redesigned so that minor obstacles are no problem and fitted with road-ready tires. The biggest change in the cabin is the leather and alcantara instead of the visible carbon elements.

Unchanged, however, is the 5.4-liter, intake V8 with 700 horsepower and 666 Nm of torque, coupled with a six-speed sequential transmission. The latter's transmissions have been adapted for road use.
