Brabham Automotive has sealed the BT62’s track-tearing performance for road-use through a new R variant revealed overnight.
It arrives as a more street-friendly take on the existing BT62 Ultimate Track or Competition variants that’s available in left or right hand drive, qualifying the hypercar for roads in what BA calls “selected markets” in both hemispheres.
At the same time the suspension has been “revised” to suit its new downforce levels and the rigour of public roads, while grip comes from Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSports that we’ve previously seen offered as a “track-only” option on the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
Speaking of which, the interior has copped air conditioning and a heated windscreen that complement new road seats finished in either leather or Alcantara. They should ease ingress through the car’s safety cell and roll cage. Inside you also can control a new ride height lift kit through a “digital control panel” that also displays the rear-view camera’s vision. Selectable ride heights are 70mm, 90mm, 110mm and 130mm. Alcantara roof trim, interior storage and remote-locking round out the mod-cons.
It’s also unclear whether the R increases the number of originally planned BT62s, but we’d get moving if you’re keen as deliveries have already begun.
