Brabham Automotive will use the new circuit at Tailem Bend, South Australia – simply dubbed 'The Bend' – as its local testing facility.
The 7.77km track, which was officially opened in April and lays claim to being the second-longest permanent circuit in the world, is just about 70 minutes south west of Adelaide, and will host a Supercars round later this year.
The track-only Brabham BT62 supercar has been unveiled overnight, at an event at the Australian High Commission in London.
The BT62 is powered by a mid-mounted 5.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8 with 522kW of power and 667Nm of torque. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a six-speed Holinger sequential transmission.
Brabham Automotive has taken another baby step towards its return, with a brief engine-note teaser video and the reveal of its upcoming model dubbed 'BT62'.
David Brabham, son of motorsport legend Sir Jack Brabham, is responsible for the nameplate's return after more than 25 years in the wilderness.
“Today’s launch heralds the start of a new chapter in the story of a family synonymous with success,” Brabham Automotive said in a statement at the brand's relaunch.
