Brabham BT17

Automobiles

The Brabham BT17 was a one-off sports prototype race car designed by the British-Australian engineer Ron Tauranac and built by Brabham to Group 7 specifications in 1966. It was the only Group 7 sports car Brabham made and entered only three sports car races, scoring no wins, podiums, pole positions or points finishes. It started with a 4.3 litre Repco-Brabham V8, but reliability problems led to a smaller 3.0 litre Repco 620 V8 producing 315 hp, driving the rear wheels through a Hewland five-speed manual gearbox. It was the last sports car to carry the Brabham name until the BT62 appeared in 2018, 52 years later.
