The BRM P180 was a Formula One racing car, built by BRM and designed by Tony Southgate which raced in the 1972 Formula One season. It was powered by a BRM 3.0-litre V12 engine.[2] One of the main features of the P180 was that the radiators had moved to the rear of the car, allowing the nose of the car to be very wide and flat.[3] It competed in five World Championship Grands Prix, with a total of seven individual entries. The car scored no World Championship points, its best finish being eighth at the 1972 Italian Grand Prix.[1]
