    Beastly Brabham BT62 Can Be Made Road Legal

    A couple of months ago, we saw the unveil of a 700 hp (522 kW) track-only supercar by Brabham Automotive – a company founded by former Formula 1 racer David Brabham. This car, called the BT62 is so extreme that you essentially have to be taught how to drive it. And now, as hinted before, Brabham says that you can get a road-legal spec.

    It was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed where the British automaker announced that buyers will be able to convert their Brabham BT62 track weapons into road-legal supercars. Sounds like there’s a catch? Well there is; to stay road legal the car has to be shipped back to the UK every year. A possible silver lining to this is that it will also have to keep its UK number plates, which could be ‘cool’ for some.

    Once Brabham has tamed the car to road-legal spec, the car has to go through some road-legal assessments prior to getting its licence plates. After twelve months, it will have to be sent back to Brabham in the UK for service and then redo the Independent Vehicle Assessment; this process will be repeated every twelve months.

    Those who are prepared to go through the process will sure standout as only 70 examples of the Brabham BT62 will be made. But as expected, there will be drawbacks – the car, designed to attack race tracks and stopwatches, can’t be expected to be exceptionally comfortable. Taking that into consideration, as well as the fact that it has a 5.4-litre V8 that fires 700 hp (522 kW) to push a curb weight of just 971 kilograms, we can’t imagine it will be the most enjoyable car on the road.

    Whether or not buyers will opt for this conversion, there is no doubt that they will enjoy the many perks of owning Brabham BT62. And with a price tag of £1 million, there’s no doubt that the car was intended for those who play at the top league of the fiscal food chain.

    We saw this car live at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and it is an immense creation in terms of styling and it just listen to it…

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
