Brabham is back
Building on a remarkable 70-year racing pedigree, David Brabham has announced Brabham’s return to manufacturing with the launch of Brabham Automotive’s first product, the stunning BT62. A mid-engined track car, the Brabham BT62's power comes from a 5.4 litre V8 engine which produces 700bhp. With its performance-optimised carbon fibre body and aggressive aerodynamic package, the BT62 delivers over 1200kg of downforce.
Production of the Brabham BT62 will be limited to just seventy cars to celebrate the seventy years since Sir Jack Brabham launched his racing career in Australia in 1948 and the birth of Brabham Automotive in 2018. The first thirty-five cars will be liveried in tribute to each of Brabham’s thirty-five Formula 1 Grand Prix victories. The BT62 seen here is liveried in celebration of Jack Brabham’s green and gold BT19 and his historic victory at the 1966 French Formula 1 Grand Prix at Reims, the year in which he made history in becoming the first (and to date only) driver to win a World Championship in a car of his own construction.
