Praga Announces Production Start of Its First Street-Legal Hypercar
Praga, renowned as one of the oldest automakers in the world, has confirmed the commencement of production for its first street-legal hypercar, the Praga Bohema, at its factory in the Czech Republic. First unveiled as a prototype at the end of 2022, the Bohema is set to be handcrafted in extremely limited quantities over the next four years, potentially marking it as the last brand-new gasoline-powered supercar.
Weighing less than 1000 kilograms and equipped with a 700-horsepower engine, the Bohema features a carbon body and a two-seater design, poised to become a coveted object of desire among collectors. This hypercar represents a blend of heritage and futuristic engineering, underlining Praga’s commitment to excellence in the realm of high-performance vehicles.
Recently, the first clients, who will pay €1.36 million for each of these hypercars, were invited to visit Praga’s assembly plant. This exclusive tour showcased the meticulous hand-assembly process focused on the highest quality materials, craftsmanship, and finishing. These early adopters of the Bohema had the unique opportunity to experience the production-spec Bohema fitted with Pirelli Trofeo R tires on the wintry roads of the Czech Republic, before its public debut in the spring of 2024.
The first Bohema destined for a customer is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024 in Europe. In addition to the European market, Praga plans to expand its reach by delivering vehicles to the United Arab Emirates and the United States within the same year. This global distribution highlights Praga’s ambition to establish a significant presence in the luxury hypercar market.
With its limited production, exceptional design, and high-performance capabilities, the Praga Bohema is set to carve a unique niche in the automotive world, representing a blend of historical prestige and modern innovation. This launch not only signifies a new chapter for Praga but also marks a significant moment in the history of automotive manufacturing, as it potentially closes the era of new gasoline-powered supercars.
