This Is Your First Chance To Hear Brabham Automotive's New Car
The Brabham name is legendary in the world of motorsport. Jack Brabham is - and forever will be, we suspect - the only driver to win a championship in his own car, with the team he set up going on to win further championships after his retirement in 1970.
Son David Brabham meanwhile is a Le Mans winner, and he’s thrust the family name back into the limelight with the newly established Brabham Automotive. The company made its first announcement a few weeks ago, and now, it has confirmed that its very first car will be with us on 2 May. Oh, and we have a cheeky sound clip of the car - dubbed the BT62 - idling.
Brabham Automotive says that the “BT62’s engine note hints at a car that is inspired by Brabham’s historic racing pedigree and uncompromising and fearless determination to succeed.” We think it sounds downright dirty. And almost race car-like - is it a track-only monster being cooked up, rather than a road car? Either way, we’re pretty certain it’s a V8. Beyond that, it’s all guesswork at this stage, with details still extremely limited.
Roll on 2 May…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Does this count as a sound leak or….
What’s next, a smell leak? (Or in the case of a Brabham an oil leak)
I feel leaks have become marketing strategies…
I want this Company to succeed like Mclaren did.
Sounds to me like a Corvette engine.

Hopefully it won’t suck
This is actually gold kek.
Indeed, that car seriously sucked.
I’m a fan.
Eh, give it a pass, first cars of a brand usually
BLOW
I would’ve thought it would be an LMP, since winning Le Mans was very much on their agenda in an interview a while back.
Doesn’t sound like one though, in fact I’m not sure there’s any race cars that sound like that anymore

BRAHAM CAR LEAKED
That was the best teaser by far
Me:
I am REALLY hoping for it to be an Australian based company <3
David Brabham IS an Australian so I guess that counts
