PRAGA’S FIRST ROAD CAR IN EIGHT DECADES: THE TRAILBLAZING BOHEMA
The Praga Bohema is the Czech automaker's first road car in nearly eight decades, a track-focused hypercar that delivers 700 bhp from a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine, weighs just 1,000 kg thanks to an all-carbon-fibre tub and bodywork, and reaches a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph). With 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds and up to 900 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, the Bohema is one of the lightest and most aerodynamically sophisticated hypercars available today.
A Return to the Road After 80 Years
Praga spent most of the last 80 years focused on motorsport, building racing karts and competing in endurance series. The Bohema marks a dramatic return to road car production. Its carbon-fibre monocoque was aerodynamically optimised in a Formula 1 wind tunnel, and the suspension uses fully adjustable Ohlins dampers with pushrod geometry and carbon ceramic disc brakes all round. Pirelli Trofeo R tyres are standard equipment.
Performance and Engineering Specifications
Power comes from the bespoke Praga Litchfield 3.8-litre twin-turbo six, producing 700 bhp at 6,800 rpm with 535 lb ft of torque between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm. The six-speed semi-automatic Hewland gearbox sends drive exclusively to the rear wheels. Despite its extreme power, the Bohema is engineered to be driver-friendly, with air conditioning and premium leather or Alcantara interior as standard. Each unit can be ordered with custom finishes ranging from bare exposed carbon to gold leaf accents.
Exclusivity and Production
Praga limits Bohema production to fewer than 20 units per year, ensuring each car remains a bespoke commission. The first production example was delivered in December 2024 to a Dutch buyer at a price of 1.36 million euros plus taxes. That exclusivity is not just a marketing strategy: it reflects the time required to hand-build each carbon component and calibrate the aerodynamics package for the individual owner's preferences.
For enthusiasts seeking a track hypercar with comparable philosophy, TheArsenale also carries the TDF-1 Track-Only Hypercar and the Delage D12, the F1-Inspired Hypercar. The Salaff C2 Coachbuilt Supercar is another extraordinary limited-production option worth exploring.
Where the Praga Bohema Fits in the Hypercar Market
The hypercar segment is crowded, but the Bohema's blend of extreme lightweight engineering, genuine dual-purpose road-and-track capability, and sub-20-unit annual production sets it apart. By delivering a car that can be driven on public roads while generating the kind of downforce usually reserved for racing prototypes, Praga has created a vehicle that bridges the gap between a dedicated racing machine and a legal road car.
