WATCH: Brabham BT62 driven flat-out

Brabham Automotive has released a new video of its track-focused Brabham BT62 hypercar being driven in anger at the Portimao race circuit in Portugal.

The video, thought to have been filmed back in August, is believed to feature a late-stage Brabham BT62 prototype and not a customer car.

The same BT62 recently starred on the streets of the city where it's made, with the Brabham hypercar taking part in the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

Created to rival cars like the Aston Martin Vulcan and the McLaren P1 GTR, the Brabham BT62 isn't road-legal, although a road car is confirmed for the future.

Instead, the $2 million hypercar is a track-day tool for the super-wealthy.

Powered by a naturally-aspirated 5.4-litre V8 that produces 522kW and 667Nm of torque, the rear-wheel drive hypercar gets a ‘race-spec’ sequential transmission.

Designed to corner faster than a V8 Supercar racer, and with a far higher top speed, the BT62 weighs in at just 972kg (dry), thanks to its full carbon-fibre body.

An aggressive aerodynamics package, meanwhile, ensures the BT62 generates more than 1200kg of downforce.

Brabham Automotive has confirmed it will make just 70 cars, with the first 35 BT62s off the production line carrying liveries designed to pay tribute to Sir Jack’s 35 Formula 1 Grand Prix victories.

Included in the seven-figure price tag is a tailored driver development and experience program to enable owners to fully exploit their car’s towering performance.

Brabham has reportedly already begun selling the BT62, with the first car destined for a home somewhere in North America.
