Return of a Legend:
Brabham Racing at the Essen Motor Show 2008

One of the most illustrious names of automotive
history has returned. After numerous successes in
Formula One and being dormant for nearly sixteen
years, the legendary motor racing brand was relaunched.

Despite its long absence, the renowned company
still has to meet high expectations. Its vehicles are
designed according to highest quality standards and
manufactured by using state-of-the-art technology.
Consequently, development programmes designed
for the automotive industry and Formula One
manufacturing techniques are employed as well.

By using wireframe models, maximum precision is
guaranteed already during the construction process.
The engines' increased performance forced the
constructors to develop technically independent
high-performance braking systems. In addition to
this, all carbon-fibre body parts used for the production
of Brabham racing cars are cured in autoclaves - these
quality characteristics are visible at the first and even
at the second glance one gets of each new
Brabham model.

At the relaunch on the Essen Motor Show 2008,
Brabham Racing will already present three models:
the BRABHAM BT 92 based on the BMW M3, the
BRABHAM BT 60 based on the BMW M5 as well
as the BT 70 - a sporty interpretation of the SUV X6.
Each of these models embodies the company's
message: high-tech, quality, sportiness, design,
exclusiveness and history.

I wasn't keen until I read this:

as well
as the BT 70 - a sporty interpretation of the SUV X6.
And now I can't be bothered.

not that I like it, but surely the reality will be worst than this when it will be unveiled, for real.

I was hoping for a completely new body, a la Fisker.

I guess the old brabhams wasn't built to look nice, but to go fast. However, this is macabre. Its "OK" when the regular tuners make these cars, but they shouldn't drag a name like that through the sewers

Who is behind this?

considering how he is keen on destroying modern F1, maybe he is trying with the old good days too. Bernie, it's my man.

I just read somewhere that the Brabham family is not behind this. It's even worse; they were not even consulted by the new company. Sad, very sad.

I don't think so. I am sure the Brabham name was sold along with the company back in the early 1970s.
