Saying that you will build a hypercar is one thing, but actually starting production is another entirely. That’s the phase of the process that Praga has just entered with its new road-going driver’s car, the Bohema. First unveiled in 2022, the Bohema is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 that was borrowed from the Nissan GT-R. Thanks to a dry sump system and a pair of new turbochargers, the engine churns out 700 hp and 724 Nm of torque.
While many hypercars can claim to make a
lot of power, fewer do it while actually being light. Thanks to its carbon
fiber construction, the car weighs less than 1,000 kg, which Praga
hopes will make it a track monster. The Bohema has endured an exhaustive
testing program, visiting world-famous racetracks like Belgium’s
Spa-Francorchamps, Austria’s Red Bull Ring, and Germany’s Nurburgring. In that
time, noted F1 and IndyCar driver, Romain Grosjean, and former Stig, Ben
Collins (in addition to Praga’s own test driver, Josef Kral) have driven the
car and given their feedback on it.
The Czech company hopes that will make the
Bohema appealing to hypercar collectors. And it will have to be, because its
€ 1.36 million (US$ 1.48 million) price will put it
out of reach for most enthusiasts.
Handbuilt at Praga’s factory in the Czech
Republic, the company plans to deliver the first examples of the Bohema to
customers in the first half of the year. Production will last for four years,
but the automaker says that it will only produce the car in very limited
numbers.
