Brabham BT62 Testing – 700BHP – Video

Powering the BT62 is a naturally aspirated 5.4-litre V8 that produces 700bhp and 492lb ft of torque. No official 0-62mph figures have been given, but it’s safe to say that a power-to-weight ratio of 720bhp per tonne should yield impressive results.

 

The car has been designed with rear-wheel-drive only in a deliberate effort to ‘challenge and reward the driver in equal measure’. You’re not completely on your own, mind – there are some driver aids such as launch control to help the car get off the line cleanly.
