Australian onlinemagazine caradvice.com.au takes the Brabham BT92 "full throttle"
Source: http://www.caradvice.com.au/30221/br...full-throttle/
Source: http://www.caradvice.com.au/30218/fu...ottle-day-8-9/ Looks like CarAdvice.com.au is giving us a teaser only for now but from the teaser it sounds like the car might not be that bad, here is their quote: Quote:

The BT92's styling is definitely growing on me, but when I saw it in person at Essen, I had the strong feeling that it was overdone. Not to mention the HUGE price tag...I'll wait for more than the teaser.

The rear fenders are overdone. Leaving that aside I like that car, though I don't believe it will sell. F 599 GTB money should buy you nothing else...
Best regards, south

The price is stupid- plain and simple for that kind of money ($310K), I would get something a bit more Ferrari or I don't know maybe even a Weissman GT MF-5, or Spyker C8 Aileron. The Brabham may have better performance but if I was going to spend that much money I would want something a bit different than a hopped up BMW ///M3 from a design point.
Just my .02

Would love to see the Brabham in person: design, while a bit OTT, works for me. Great colour too.

It's a neat car, but $300k is just beyond dumb.

I like it. Completely OTT and given the euro/dollars there's some great cars available, but for an ///M it looks and sounds spectacular.

I think it's ugly. If I had that kind of money to spend on my ///M it would be way nicer and faster than that thing too. I'd build it totally custom for a fraction of that price.

I like the car a lot, but my only problems are the rear bumper/exhaust setup (dual centered tips on a big car is a big nicht-nicht), the rear fender which is wayyy over done, and the price tag ($310k!!! with that kind of money I'd get a Novitech Rosso F430 or 599...)

i really do love this car. i just dont see a person in their right mind paying to buy one of these. I think if you were to buy this car and make it look the same exact way it would cost you maybe 1/3 of the price they are asking for.

Much as I like the looks and the performance available it's price tag is punching well beyond it's brand image, Brabham is no Brabus. If it had have been around the £100K mark then possibly it would sell but not at this price (£250K UK approx pricing). Did no-one tell them we are in a recession. |
