The Brabham BT42 was a Formula One racing car used by Brabham for the 1973 Formula One season. It was the team's first design entirely by Gordon Murray after the departure of co-founder and previous designer Ron Tauranac, who had been succeeded as chief designer by Murray under new team boss Bernie Ecclestone. It used a triangular-section aluminium monocoque with the Cosworth DFV engine as a fully stressed member, a Hewland gearbox, pullrod front suspension and a multilink rear, and brought back the double front radiators nicknamed the lobster claw. It improved markedly on the BT37, with Carlos Reutemann scoring best-place results in France and the United States, and it became the base for the BT44.
