After nearly eight decades focused on motorsport, Czech automaker Praga has returned to road car production with its groundbreaking hypercar, the Bohema. This incredible vehicle celebrates an uncompromising blend of racetrack engineering and road-ready functionality. Weighing just 1,000 kilograms (2,300 pounds) thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber for its body and monocoque chassis, the Bohema delivers 700 bhp from its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine. Combined with an advanced braking system and adjustable suspension, the hypercar achieves exceptional aerodynamics and agility, with a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph).
The Bohema reflects Praga's motorsport heritage while appealing to a niche market of enthusiasts seeking exclusivity and cutting-edge design. Each hand-built unit features customization options ranging from bare carbon finishes to gold leaf accents. To ensure its performance matches its aesthetics, the Bohema’s aerodynamic design underwent testing in a Formula 1 wind tunnel, offering unrivaled efficiency compared to typical road cars. Capped at a production rate of fewer than 20 units annually, the Bohema underscores exclusivity and the automaker’s dedication to craftsmanship.
Praga’s leap back into the road car market comes at a time when hypercar competition is fierce, but the Bohema’s lightweight engineering, bespoke designs, and dual-purpose capability set it apart. By delivering a car that thrives on both track and road, Praga has created a vehicle that bridges the gap between performance and practicality. Only time will tell if the Bohema’s innovative approach and limited production strategy can carve out a place for Praga in the hypercar market, but its debut undeniably marks a monumental milestone for the brand.
