Brabham Automotive was introduced to the world on 2 May 2018, with the launch of the Brabham BT62 at Australia House, London.
As the company marked its second birthday in the midst of the global COVID-19 crisis, it can reflect on having established a landmark production facility in South Australia, launched multiple variants of the BT62 globally, and regained a presence in motorsport.
The BT62 launched in 2018 with its Ultimate Track spec with a 690bhp 5.4-litre Brabham naturally aspirated V8, six-speed racing transmission, extreme lightweight bodywork with 1600kg of downforce wrapped around a chromoly safety cell.
The arrival of the BT62 Competition coincided with David Brabham and Will Powell driving the BT62 to a historic debut racing victory at Brands Hatch - where Sir Jack Brabham took a Formula One victory in 1966 - as part of the Dunlop Britcar Endurance Series final round for 2019. Brabham Motorsport is now firmly established, with Brabham supplying its first customer competition vehicles in 2020 for the Dunlop Britcar Endurance Series.
The Brabham facility has numerous bays for different phases of vehicle assembly from chassis up, a finishing bay for final inspection, a dedicated carbon composite workshop, engineering offices with 3D printing facilities, meeting rooms and a customer engagement area, putting customer engagement at the forefront of the Brabham experience.
This space also houses Fusion Composites, a lightweight composite division of Fusion Capital that supplies Brabham Automotive with carbon fibre components. Brabham Automotive launched in the U.K. in 2018, but the company's heart and manufacturing base is in Adelaide, South Australia, the home of its parent company - Fusion Capital. Brabham Automotive is part of the company's broader mobility hub that includes Australia's largest bus producers with operations in South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania supplying transport providers nationwide.
