Meet the Praga Bohema is a ₦1.01 billion road-legal hypercar

The name of this car brand might not seem familiar to a lot of people, but this car brand has been in existence for over 115 years. That means the Praga Bohema brand is even older than most of the popular brands today. 

It’s a product of a Czech automaker that only began making race cars 12 years ago. And only a handful of those race cars were fitted with plate licenses.

This Praga Bohema race car is basically the company’s first road-legal hypercar. And there’s so much fuss surrounding this car.

First, to own this car, you have to be able to squeeze out the price of $1.35 million.

The car also comes with a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6.

The engine component sounds underwhelming, but it’s actually the same engine Nissan has been using in all of its GT-R models since 2007.

Litchfield Motors has gone to town, tuning the life out of this Praga.

Praga hopes that the production car will deliver 700 bhp and 725 Nm of torque.

Litchfield is known for building 1,000 bhp-plus engines from the GT-R unit, so it’ll be interesting to see what actually comes of it.

The car is also lightweight and weighs sub-1,000 kilogrammes. In the right hands, it’s capable of extremely high performance on track (top speed just over 300 km/h), targeting GT3 race car lap times on its semi-slick Pirellis.

According to the carmaker, the Praga is also comfortable and practical for road trips. Praga said it was important to design a car that was comfortable enough for large adults.

That’s why the car features adjustable seats, steering wheel, pedals, and more.

It even has storage for your phone and water bottles and air conditioning for when the temperature rises.

The Praga Bohema Price

The brand has scheduled production for the Praga hypercar, which will begin in the Czech Republic in the second half of 2023.

Only 89 examples will be available, as that’ll be reflecting the 89th anniversary of Praga’s historic 1933 road race victory.
