Some Interesting Brabham BT62 Facts
Reviving the Brabham Name The Brabham BT62, unveiled in 2018, marked the return of the legendary Brabham name to the automotive world after decades, honoring the Formula 1 legacy of Sir Jack Brabham.
Extreme Power-to-Weight Ratio The BT62 is powered by a 5.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, producing 700 horsepower (522 kW) and 667 Nm (492 lb-ft) of torque, with a weight of just 972 kg (2,144 lbs), giving it a hypercar-like power-to-weight ratio.
Designed for Track Domination The BT62 was built as a track-focused hypercar, featuring advanced aerodynamics, aggressive styling, and motorsport-derived engineering.
Insane Downforce Capabilities With a massive rear wing, front splitter, and underbody aerodynamics, the BT62 produces 1,200 kg (2,645 lbs) of downforce, more than the car’s actual weight, allowing for immense cornering grip.
Limited Production and Exclusivity Only 70 units of the Brabham BT62 were planned for production, with each car handcrafted to ensure exclusivity and precision engineering.
Hand-Built in Australia Unlike most supercars, the BT62 is manufactured in Adelaide, Australia, staying true to Brabham’s Australian roots and racing heritage.
Stripped-Down, Racing-Style Interior The cabin features a minimalist racing cockpit, including an FIA-approved roll cage, lightweight carbon-fiber seats, and a race-spec steering wheel, ensuring pure track performance.
Available in a Road-Legal Version Initially designed as a track-only hypercar, Brabham later developed a road-legal conversion for select customers, allowing limited street use.
Tribute to Brabham's F1 Legacy The BT62’s name follows Brabham’s traditional Formula 1 naming scheme, linking it to iconic F1 cars like the Brabham BT46 and BT52.
Competes with Hypercars from Ferrari and McLaren The BT62’s extreme track-focused design and high performance put it in the same league as the McLaren Senna GTR, Ferrari FXX-K, and Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro.
