    Road-Legal Brabham BT62R Hypercar Is Official

    Brabham Automotive has taken the covers off a road-legal variant of the bonkers BT62 hypercar and the first examples will reach customers in just a few weeks.

    It is called the BT62R and for £1.25m you get a road-going version of the BT62 which has been tuned for the road but the firm also says the BT62R is equally “at home on the track”.

    The BT62R keeps the wild 5.4-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, but with revised engine mapping for use on the road. It develops 700 hp (522 kW) and 667 Nm (492 lb-ft) of torque, which is delivered through a six-speed sequential gearbox.

    Although the road-version sports the same carbon body, some changes were made for better road-going dynamics like a revised front splitter and rear diffuser, a new top-mounted air intake and a redesigned and road-compliant single-plane rear wing.

    You have the choice between two versions called Signature and Celebration Series. The Celebration offering is distinguished by one of 35 racing liveries marking Brabham’s 35 wins in Formula 1 and gold badging.

    Brabham Automotive boss Dan Marks said: “Launching the BT62R is a great achievement for the team at Brabham Automotive. All the requisite design and engineering to turn the track BT62 into the road-going BT62R has been done in-house by our team of engineers, which is a great testimony to their endeavour and expertise.”

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
