This Is The Brabham BT62's Surprisingly Basic Official Racing Livery
Brabham Automotive has unveiled its first factory racing colour scheme for its track-only BT62 supercar, and it’s… quite simple.
The 972kg beast, which produces over 1200kg of downforce via wings the size of small aircraft carriers, has switched from the gold-on-green of the launch livery to a predominantly white outfit with minor green, black and red details.
While we’re fairly sure that Brabham will let customers buying the £1 million animal choose their own colours if they want to, this is the official look, and will form the basis of any racing liveries the company uses.
According to reports, the car has already smashed Australia’s Philip Island circuit’s official lap record. The 700bhp on tap from the – surprisingly – naturally-aspirated 5.4-litre V8, which was adapted from a ‘respected’ OEM’s block, is clearly enough to make the new machine fly.
The first deliveries are said to be (cough) on track for later this year. We’re definitely looking forward to seeing more footage of them in action.

I like it. White + dark green reminds me of 80’s Williams

They let the car do the talking not the paint job
Sometimes less is better, I like it
Clean and simple, i see someone has taken lessons from mobil 1

Simple but effective
I like it more than the green livery, makes the car look so sleek and refined and really brings out the lines
Is there anybody who knows where the engine was adapted from?
I read it was Ford’s Coyote
Wheels Magazine said “the first 35 will be celebration cars, painted in race inspired liveries the honour each of Brabham’s 35 Grand Prix victories. The second half will be Signature cars, configred by their owners (fully customisable)”
I can’t get through this article because the similarities between the Regera and the BT62 bothers me.
That bothers me as well, but it also kind of looks like a Gallardo which is good.
