The BT18 was designed as a multipurpose chassis for both F2 and F3. Compared with the preceding BT15, the most noticeable change was the wishbone points were set wider apart to give a greater swing arm length to suit the ever widening wheels and tyres. A longer upright was also used to help spread the suspension loads created by the wider tyres that caused cracking of the chassis tubes. The new uprights were a development of the Formula One/Tasman design.

The year the BT18 was unveiled, Jack Brabham won the Driver's World Championship and the Constructor's Cup. Working for Jack Brabham, was fellow Australian, Ron Tauranac. Ron had done all the design work on the cars that year.
