Brabham BT62: Your New Hypercar Fetish

8 May 2018 Redazione News, Racing Cars

It’s The Brabham BT62, the latest track-only hypercar entering the brawl for performance king and featuring a mighty mid-mounted naturally aspirated 5.4 V8 that grounds 700hp and 667Nm of torque, on a kerb weight of just 972kg.

With the victory at the 24h of LeMans in mind, the BT62 is also able to generate something like 1.200kg of downforce exploiting its two years process evolution that brought this unique racing shape out of a blank sheet of paper. The car features lightweight carbon fiber all over the place, double-wishbone suspension with adjustable anti-roll bars and four-way adjustable Ohlins dampers, alongside high-performance carbon ceramic Brembo brakes with six piston calipers for an uncompromising rollercoaster experience.

Only 70 examples of the Brabham BT62 will be produced to celebrate 70 years since Sir Jack Brabham started his racing career. The first 35 units will feature distinctive liveries paying homage to each of Brabham’s 35 Formula 1 victories. Each will cost £1 million.
