The Brabham BT53 was a Formula One car designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team for the 1984 Formula One season and a development of the BT52 that had carried Nelson Piquet to the 1983 championship. It was almost identical to the final BT52B but had larger sidepods for cooling, and its turbochargers and intercoolers were repositioned for fuel efficiency because refuelling stops were banned, so it carried an enlarged 220 litre fuel tank. The turbocharged BMW M12 engine produced around 900 bhp in qualifying trim and 800 bhp in races, making it the most powerful car in Formula One at the time, and Piquet recorded the fastest speed trap of the 1984 season at 325 km/h at Kyalami.
