Praga, the Czech automotive legend, has unveiled the first production model of its 2025 Bohema supercar—a machine that seamlessly combines road-legal functionality with race-car performance. This milestone comes just two years after the debut of the Bohema prototype, marking a triumphant return to road car production after 77 years.
“We promised a pure, lightweight, fast, and beautifully appointed road-legal race car, and we delivered,” says Tomas Kasparek, Owner of Praga, encapsulating the ethos behind the Bohema’s development.
Lightweight Engineering Meets Extreme Performance
With a curb weight of just 1,000 kg (2,300 lbs), the Bohema is half the weight of many contemporary supercars, yet it retains both comfort and challenge. Its bespoke Praga Litchfield 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine generates an impressive 700 bhp, enabling a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph). This remarkable power-to-weight ratio, combined with advanced aerodynamics and precision engineering, ensures race-car-like performance on the track while maintaining road compliance.
The full carbon-fiber body and monocoque are key to the car’s lightweight design. Praga’s engineering team worked closely with a Formula 1 wind tunnel to optimize aerodynamics, resulting in a car capable of generating 2G cornering forces and GT3 race car lap times on road tires.
Design for Driving Purists
The Bohema’s design philosophy centers on simplicity and functionality. Adjustable suspension and ride allow drivers to transition seamlessly between road and track. Its communicative handling and powerful carbon-ceramic braking system make it an exhilarating drive for those skilled enough to handle its full potential.
As Engineering Director Jan Martinek explains, “We set out to create a supercar that feels like a race driver’s dream. Lightweight, all carbon, ultimate aero, and high power—everything about the Bohema is designed to thrill.”
Bespoke Craftsmanship
Each Bohema is hand-built to the highest standards, with bespoke paint finishes that can include stunning gold leaf details. The first customer car, delivered in December 2024, exemplifies Praga’s commitment to quality and personalization. This exclusivity extends to its limited production of fewer than 20 cars annually, ensuring rarity and meticulous attention to detail.
A Heritage Reimagined
Praga’s return to road car manufacturing is a continuation of its storied legacy, dating back to the late 19th century. The Bohema embodies the company’s heritage of innovation, lightweight engineering, and aerodynamic excellence, now elevated to new s for the modern era.
A Limited-Edition Masterpiece
Praga plans to produce just one to two Bohema supercars per month starting in 2026, targeting key markets such as Europe, the USA, South Asia, the Middle East, and Japan. For discerning collectors and driving enthusiasts, the Bohema offers a unique blend of history, performance, and exclusivity.
Mark Harrison, Sales and Marketing Director, remarks, “Delivering the first Bohema is a testament to Praga’s ability to create a world-class supercar that lives up to its promises. This is a car that collectors and enthusiasts will admire for years to come.”
