The anticipated Praga Bohema supercar hits the road.
Two years ago, Praga revealed the Bohema, a supercar that combines pure racing focus and on-road driving ability. With a weight of only 2,300 pounds, and over 700 horsepower coming from its twin-turbocharged V6 engine, the Bohema is an incredibly thrilling racing machine coming from the Czech manufacturer. Seven years have passed since the beginning of the new Praga Bohema’s development and testing program, and at long last, the first delivery of a customer example has been made in the Netherlands.
Fittingly, the handover was facilitated by renowned racing driver Romain Grosjean, marking the fruition of the Bohema’s incredibly bold ambitions. The car is finished with incredibly detailed carbon fiber bodywork, available gold leaf detailing, and bespoke paint finishes. However, beyond its beauty lies incredible performance. Its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 is the product of a collaboration between Praga and UK-based Litchfield Engineering. With over 700 horsepower, the ultra-lightweight racing-focused supercar delivers incredible performance on the track.
With a weight of just 2,300 pounds, however, the challenge was in striking the balance between creating a hardcore race car and creating a car that was comfortable to drive on the road, which Praga achieved after painstaking engineering effort in the Bohema. The car features a two-seat configuration, with a removable steering wheel, carbon fiber accents, and upholstery in Alcantara and leather.
Marking Praga’s return to manufacturing road cars after 77 years, the Czech manufacturer promises that the Bohema will be an incredibly exclusive racing-ready supercar. Over the next four years, less than 20 cars per year are planned to be manufactured. With each example costing roughly over $1.5 million, the USA will see a maximum of 24 examples. After spending 77 years away from the world of manufacturing road cars, Praga brought its racing expertise back to the road in the thrilling new Bohema, whose supercar legacy is only beginning to be built.
