Fujimi 092034 Brabham BT46B Sweden GP

The Brabham BT46 is a British Formula 1 car that was presented in the 1978 season and competed in F1 races this season and one Grand Prix of the 1979 season. Its designer was Gordon Murray. The Brabham BT46 was powered by a single Alfa Romeo 115-12 12-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3 liters and 525 hp.

The Brabham BT46 was a far-reaching development of the previous Brabham car, the BT45. In the new model, Gordon Murray focused on improving the driver's safety, implementing numerous small technological innovations, as well as on compensating and reducing the heavy weight of the power unit, which generated more maximum power than competing models, but also weighed more and consumed more fuel. Finally, a car was created that is difficult to drive, demanding from the driver, emergency, but also with very good performance and capable of cornering at high speed. We tried to eliminate the disadvantages of the BT46 model in the very similar BT46B, but it was not entirely successful. In total - BT46 and BT46B - took part in 15 races from the Grand Prix series - in one of them they won. The most famous drivers who drove the Brabham BT46 were: Niki Lauda and John Watson.
