Praga Cars, the Czech race car specialist, has finally begun production of the Bohema supercar, more than a year after it was shown in prototype form. It’s a lightweight two-seater that can be used on the road or on the track. Initial deliveries are slated for the first half of 2024, for an amazing €1.36 million (approximately $1.48 million) each.
Production will last four years, with the first customers taking delivery this year in Europe, the UAE, and the United States. Praga’s initial customers are invited to watch the hand-built assembly process at a facility in the Czech Republic.
The Bohema’s production follows last year’s development and test programs, which included notable personalities such as former Stig of BBC’s Top Gear Ben Collins, former F1 to IndyCar driver Romain Grosjean, and Praga’s chief test driver and seasoned GT racer Josef Kral.
The Bohema was designed from the ground up, yet its engine is based on a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 from the Nissan GT-R that has been upgraded by Litchfield Engineering, a British engineering firm recognized for extracting greater power. The Bohema’s engine produces a relatively modest 700 horsepower, has a peak speed of more than 186 mph, and can accelerate from a standstill to 62 mph in less than 3.5 seconds.
“This is a significant milestone for Praga in our 117-year existence,” said Tomas Kasparek, head of Praga Cars. “We are actively monitoring every stage of the manufacturing process to ensure that the Bohema production car meets and even surpasses our clients’ expectations,” continued Kasparek.
Mark Harrison, Praga Cars’ sales and marketing director, stated: “Praga is new to the hypercar market, but the product quality, pricing, launch programme and, most importantly, the car’s performance are generating excitement and interest.”
