Brabham BT62

A planned production of only 70 cars is intended, in honour of the company's 70 year heritage in racing.

[citation needed] Power goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed Holinger sequential-shift racing transmission controlled by steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, and stopping is handled by carbon-to-carbon disc brakes, with carbon pads actuated by six pistons acting on carbon rotors.

[2][5] The chassis of the BT62 uses what Brabham calls a ‘tubular metallic architecture’ and the body features lightweight carbon fibre body panels, as well as carbon-kevlar wheel housings, to give the car a dry weight of 972 kg (2,142 lb).

The wheels are 18 inch centre locking units and are wrapped in Michelin racing slicks.

[6] The interior is relatively sparse as the BT62 is built for track day driving and features FIA-spec carbon fibre seat shells, a six-point harness, Alcantara trim, leather door pulls, an adjustable pedal box, a carbon fibre dashboard, a 12-inch digital gauge cluster, a removable carbon fibre steering wheel and a fire extinguisher.

The BT62 pitted with an alternator problem, he rejoined the race initially but the car eventually retired, only completing 17 laps.
