Brabham Automotive Reveals BT62 Supercar

After months of teasing, British carmakers took the wraps off the new BT62 supercar at an event in central London. With the new BT62, Brabham Automotive says they pay its tribute to the founders, Jack Brabham and Ron Tauranac and honors the legacy of the marque's greatest and most memorable cars. The new BT62 supercar is pure-bred for the track and is capable of setting blistering lap times with its naturally-aspirated 5.4-litre capacity V8 engine. With a base price of £1 million (Rs. 9.06 crore) plus local taxes, and before options, production of the Brabham BT62 will be limited to just seventy cars in recognition of Brabham's 70-year heritage.
