Rare Praga Bohema Appears in Naked Carbon, Set for American Shores

A Century-Old Czech Name Under British Spotlight

Praga may not be a household name today, but it was once a force in both the motoring and aviation industries. The company was founded in 1907 in what is now the Czech Republic, building everything from motorcycles to planes to race cars.

After years focusing on motorsport and engineering partnerships, Praga went back under the spotlight in 2022 with the unveiling of the Bohema – a road-legal, track-optimized hypercar. The car looks extreme, but it was designed to deliver GT3 car lap times with real-world usability.

Despite the delay in production, the result appears worth the wait, with customers receiving their units in late 2024. At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Praga showed off multiple Bohemas with a public dynamic debut, three of which are customer-owned.

Flying Off to America Under the “Show or Display” Rule

The standout was a jaw-dropping naked carbon example headed to the US, where the owner plans to bring it in under the Show or Display rule.

The naked carbon Bohema drew most of the attention, showcasing every sculpted surface and detail of the car’s lightweight carbon fiber construction. With a dry weight of just 2,165 pounds, it’s engineered for downforce over drama, though the looks certainly don’t disappoint.

The purple example is bound for a UK customer, while the green model is headed to the Netherlands. All three optioned gold trim and wheels – this wasn’t something that was planned but made for a wonderfully cohesive display on the Praga stand.

All Bohemas share the same beating heart: a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Nissan GT-R, overhauled by Litchfield to produce 700 horsepower and 535 lb-ft of torque, sent through a six-speed sequential Hewland gearbox with a robotic clutch.

Praga claims 1,984 lbs of downforce at 155 mph – a figure so effective, the car’s aerodynamics were validated in a Formula One team’s wind tunnel, where engineers concluded the design was essentially aerodynamically perfect and couldn’t be improved.

A Surprising Focus on Comfort

Despite its extreme duties as a track-ready hypercar, the Bohema’s cabin isn’t a stripped-out torture chamber. Praga prioritized comfort, claiming it may be the most livable hypercar of its type.

The car features adjustable seats, which are very rare in this segment, and even includes thoughtful touches like an elbow rest for the passenger, something you’d struggle to find in other hypercars. While infotainment is absent, essentials like Alcantara trim, clever ergonomics, and a digital steering wheel display round out the package.

Each Bohema starts at about $1.5 million, with just 89 examples planned worldwide through 2028.
