The Return of a Historic Name
Praga, one of the oldest vehicle manufacturers in Europe, was originally founded in 1907 in Czechoslovakia. The brand’s early years were marked by innovation in both automobiles and aviation, later expanding into military vehicles and trucks. After decades of dormancy in the consumer automotive world, Praga returned to the spotlight through motorsport, particularly with the track-only R1 prototype. Now, the Bohema marks its bold reentry into road-legal hypercars, blending elite motorsport engineering with exotic exclusivity.
Striking Carbon-Fibre Bodywork
The Bohema’s exterior is unapologetically track-focused. Its body is crafted entirely from carbon fibre, with sculpted aerodynamic elements that wouldn’t look out of place on a Le Mans prototype. With a total weight of just 982 kg, every panel has been meticulously designed to reduce drag, enhance downforce, and keep the center of gravity low.
Air ducts, active aero elements, and an aggressive rear diffuser all serve a purpose. Yet despite its hardcore appearance, the Bohema remains road legal. The cabin sits low, flanked by dihedral doors that open upwards, completing the dramatic silhouette. It is a car that announces its intent with every curve.
Heart of a Beast – A Tuned GT-R V6
At the heart of the Bohema lies a heavily revised 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, derived from the Nissan GT-R. This isn’t a simple transplant: Praga partnered with British firm Litchfield Engineering to completely rework the unit. The result is a lightweight, high-revving, dry-sump engine producing 700 hp and 725 Nm of torque.
Power is delivered through a 6-speed sequential Hewland transmission, with paddle shifters for rapid gear changes. The combination of race-grade mechanicals and featherweight construction enables the Bohema to accelerate with the urgency and rawness of a purpose-built race car.
Inside – Functional, Focused, Yet Refined
Despite the intense focus on performance, the Bohema doesn’t skimp on driver experience. The cockpit, though minimalist, is beautifully finished in carbon fibre, Alcantara, and billet aluminium. The seating position is fixed, while the pedal box and steering column adjust to the driver.
The central infotainment screen doubles as a rear-view camera feed, and essential information is displayed through a digital cluster. The Bohema strips away the unnecessary, offering only what’s needed for an immersive driving experience.

Developed by Racers, Built for the Road
Praga has leveraged its racing heritage to engineer a hypercar that feels like a prototype racer in road-going trim. Each Bohema is hand-built in Slovakia, and only 20 units per year will be produced, ensuring ultra-low exclusivity.
During testing, the Bohema was taken to the Top Gear test track, where former Stig Ben Collins nearly broke the lap record—proof, if needed, of the car’s world-class capabilities.
The Ultimate Driver’s Machine
The Praga Bohema isn’t about luxury or excess. It’s about purity. It strips back everything to deliver an experience that is raw, mechanical, and utterly intoxicating. With its featherweight chassis, explosive powertrain, and motorsport-grade dynamics, the Bohema is a testament to what’s possible when a brand returns to its roots with clarity and ambition.
For those who seek not just speed, but a deep connection between man and machine, the Bohema is more than a hypercar—it’s a declaration.
