Well check this out: Brabham has returned.
Brabham is a pretty storied name in racing circles. Founded by Jack Brabham (now Sir Jack, but every body called him Black Jack) in the early 60s. They won the manufacturers and drivers titles in 66 & 67, making Jack the only driver to win the title in a car of his own construction. Later, they were acquired by Bernie Ecclestone, but there’s no need to go into that at the moment.
Anyway, Brabham is back, and they are modifying BMW M3s, M5s and X6s. You know, because M3s & M5s are too slow to begin with. The new models will debut at the Essen Motor Show in Germany that runs 29 November to 7 December.
Details are scant, other than internal Brabham names. The BT 92 is based on the M3, the BT 60 is the massaged M5 and the BT 70 is the uprated X6 SUV (I know, an SUV, got to go where the money is, huh?).
So, the last time Black Jack’s company started playing with Beemers, they swept all before them, we’ll see what they can do this time around come November 29.
