David Brabham, Managing Director, Brabham Automotive said, "I am thrilled to announce Brabham BT62 as the name of Brabham Automotive's first project. With more than 700 racing cars produced since its inception in the 1960s, the Brabham marque boasts a remarkable heritage, so to see the first Brabham in 26 years wear the iconic BT designation will be a huge moment in our history."

The performance characteristics of the BT62 point to the potency of the car as the new supercar from Brabham is bred for the track. The teaser image shows the rear of a low-slung, race-inspired car. The BT62's thin LED accent tail lights are reflected in its extreme carbon fibre rear wing.

The new BT62 is based on the first Brabham BT7 which won a Formula 1 race, while the BT19 was the first car to win a World Championship. The BT52, which has inspired the BT62, was the first turbo-charged car to win a Formula 1 World Championship.
