Brabham BT62 hypercar adds entry-level £750,000 Competition variant
The competition version joins pre-existing track and road variants of the car, losing interior features but keeping the same 700bhp powertrain
Brabham Automotive has launched an entry-level version of its BT62 hypercar, one of three variants which can be specified for the limited production run of 70 models.
The BT62 was initially produced as a track car, named Ultimate Track Car, which debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2018. Earlier this year, Brabham expanded to offer a road-legal version of the car, before adding the most recent Competition variant for the track. The model costs £750,000, compared to the £1m Ultimate Track and £1.15m Road vehicles.
Under the hood, the comp model retains the same 5.4-litre, naturally aspirated V8 engine as the other two specifications, developing 700bhp and 492lb ft of torque, delivered through a six-speed sequential gearbox. The performance package also features carbon brakes, motor sport ABS and traction control.

Road-Legal Brabham BT62R Hypercar Is Official
Brabham Automotive has taken the covers off a road-legal variant of the bonkers BT62 hypercar and the first examples will reach customers in just a few weeks.
It is called the BT62R and for £1.25m you get a road-going version of the BT62 which has been tuned for the road but the firm also says the BT62R is equally “at home on the track”.
The BT62R keeps the wild 5.4-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, but with revised engine mapping for use on the road. It develops 700 hp (522 kW) and 667 Nm (492 lb-ft) of torque, which is delivered through a six-speed sequential gearbox.

The Brabham BT63 GT2 is one mean looking racecar
The racecar for the road has become a racecar again. Meet the £350k, 600bhp BT63
Quite a thing, huh? It’s the Brabham BT63 GT2, and it’s the racier version of a car that was pretty racy in the first place.
The Brabham BT62 is a race-ready road and track toy for those seeking a nostalgia trip in an age of electrified hypercars. This BT63 GT2 is a race-ready racecar, all prepped to compete against Audi, KTM, Lamborghini and Porsche in the new for 2021 category.
At first glance the BT63 appears similar to the BT62, but look closer and you’ll spot more aggressive aero – there’s a rear diffuser ready to snag unsuspecting angles and a big fin running down the car’s spine.
Motorsport being what it is – mired in rules – this is actually heavier and less powerful than the BT62 road car, with 600bhp to propel its 1,250 kilos (compared to 700bhp and around 1,100kg for the 62). It’s been designed by the same team, though, and can likely have either figure pulled up or down in line with regs.
