Brabham Racing from Germany is making its return to the upper ground, after going underground back in 1992. ‘Underground' means bankrupt for our purposes. At Essen, Brabham aims to show the world that it's still alive and well, kicking even, starting with this combative-looking M3 which is dubbed BT 92, '92 referencing that fateful year.
Not much has come our way in the sense of performance or engine details, safe to say that Brabham's Formula One experience, long in the tooth as it is, has come to assist it in tuning this car.
Do we detect a bit of BMW fanaticism here? Does Brabham want to take the fish straight out of Alpina and AC Schnitzer's mouths? It's ok we reckon, there's room for one more to join the tuning pack.

Sir Jack Brabham, the Australian Formula One legend, has announced he is taking legal action against a German company that he has neither association with nor does it have permission to use his name.
The site features the famous BMW logo and the report appears under the title: 'Brabham returns as BMW tuner after 16 years'.
The Brabham Formula One outfit folded in 1992 under the ownership of Japanese engineering firm Middlebridge Group, after which, said David Brabham, his father bought back the rights to the company.
BMW's Munich office has called on the website's creators to stop using the logo or shut the site down. "We have absolutely no link with them at all," said a spokesman.
