Get Your Racer Now<\/h2>\n

The Brabham BT62 supercar<\/a> is a radical machine already, but now there’s a Competition specification that you can buy.<\/strong> It’s the same as the car that’s racing at the Britcar \u2018Into The Night\u2019 Race series running in the United Kingdom, according to Motor Authority<\/a>. <\/p>\n

As you might expect, this version of the car is pretty stripped down. It’s a competition, racing-spec version, so taking out as much weight as possible is important. There is no passenger seat, interior trim, or maintenance kit.<\/strong> The standard car gets all of those things, and this lowers the weight considerably. How much, though, has not been disclosed by the company. <\/p>\n

The Competition-spec version of the car isn’t just a lighter weight car, it’s also a cheaper one. The car costs 750,000 British pounds or about $996,700. <\/strong><\/p>\n

To be clear, this is the same BT62 that has a naturally aspirated 5.4-liter V-8 delivering 700 hp<\/strong> to the rear wheels. The car gets a six-speed sequential-shift transmission and an aerodynamic body that makes 2,645 pounds of downforce at speed. <\/p>\n

The company plans to make only 70 of the BT62, and customers can choose any of the three trim levels, including Competition, Ultimate Track Car, and Road Compliant.<\/strong> All of them will be wicked fast machines. <\/p>\n
