The Brabham BT45 was a Formula One car designed by the South African engineer Gordon Murray for the 1976, 1977 and 1978 Formula One seasons. It was the first Brabham to use the Alfa Romeo type 115-12 flat 12-cylinder engine, which gave 500 hp, and it had a Hewland six-speed transmission, an aluminium monocoque, Girling ventilated disc brakes and double wishbone front suspension with pull-rods. A BT45C with a revised radiator was made for 1978 while the BT46 was developed. It had reliability problems in 1976, when its best results were three fourth places. In 1977 Carlos Pace was second in the first race, and John Watson took pole position at Monaco and second place in France.
