Brabham

Brabham Automotive has unveiled (and priced) its BT62 supercar, but it's not done explaining the history behind the name. Most motoring enthusiasts would be familiar with Sir Jack Brabham, three-time Formula 1 world champion and the only man to win a world title in a car of his own design.

The Brabham BT62 – scheduled to be revealed on May 2 – is now available to order in the UK, with prices kicking off at £1 million ($1.84m). Limited to just 70 units, the BT62's production run acknowledges the 70th anniversary of Sir Jack Brabham's racing debut in 1948. Brabham Automotive also released yet another teaser image of its upcoming supercar (top) showing the company's badge on the bonnet.

I met a military commander today. Not what I expected at all. Firstly, he was dressed in civilian clothes. Secondly, he wasn't barking orders at me, and he can steer, too. Sat behind the wheel of the ABT R8, the guy had no hesitation in putting his boot into it, sliding it around his own army barracks with ease. The scary thing is, he'd never driven it before. Anyone who can drift 390kW of all wheel drive without having even sat in it previously, has my respect.
