Praga, a company with over a century of experience in vehicle manufacturing, has taken an unexpected leap into the supercar arena with the Bohema. This road-legal marvel is all about reducing weight, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency, and maximizing track performance. The first Bohema has been delivered to a customer in the Netherlands, but those in the U.S. will have to wait until spring 2024 for their deliveries. With fewer than 20 units handcrafted each year, this car is both rare and cutting-edge.
Unlike many niche brands, Praga is not new to this field. Its history spans trucks, airplanes, karts, and racing cars. The Bohema merges this rich heritage with modern road-focused engineering, and it truly stands out. After nearly seven years of development, Praga has created a machine that doesn’t need a salesman to prove its worth; it speaks for itself.
Drawing inspiration from the Nissan GT-R, the Bohema is equipped with a 700-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine, crafted by Litchfield Motors. While its power might seem modest by today’s hypercar standards, its lightweight design and precise engineering ensure an exhilarating driving experience. The car’s full carbon-fiber body reduces its weight to just 2300 pounds, enhancing its agility and performance on the track.
Aerodynamics play a crucial role in the Bohema’s performance. Its shape, tested in a Formula 1 wind tunnel, produces nearly 2000 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. Instead of relying on heavy active aerodynamic systems, Praga has opted for a design that emphasizes efficiency and simplicity, keeping the car light and responsive.
Praga’s racing heritage is evident in the Bohema. Inspired by its track-only R1 racer and historical models like the Super Piccolo, Praga has integrated lightweight materials and smart aerodynamic design. The result is a car that balances GT3-level track performance with everyday usability.
Priced at over 1 million dollars, the Bohema is a luxury item designed for exclusivity. Praga offers a personalized production and customer service experience. It might qualify for road use in the U.S. under the “Show and Display” exemption, providing a track-ready supercar with practical features like luggage space.
In a crowded market, the Bohema stands out for its dedication to driving purity and lightweight innovation. Welcome to Praga’s world debut, showcasing a flagship supercar that proves a century-old name can still lead in performance.
