If the modern supercar is too heavy, too big, and too common, the new Praga Bohema will be a breath of fresh air. It’s described by its Czech maker as a ‘high performance, low volume, beautifully appointed car… capable of extreme high performance on track targeting GT3 race car lap times on its semi slick Pirellis’. Which is an encouraging opening gambit.
Best pack light, though. Praga is targeting a wet weight without fuel of 982kg, which is little more than half the weight of the GT-R with which it shares an engine. And while targeted weights are best treated with some circumspection, Praga does have history with featherweight construction - is less than 650kg. To best help that ambition, the Bohema is made from carbon fibre, around a carbon monocoque.
Perhaps the most interesting information relating to the Bohema so far is Praga’s assertion that this really will be a usable road car. It speaks of a supple ride thanks to the suspension tune and light weight, the ability to seat a pair of two-metre-tall adults in air-conditioned comfort, a tow hook with an integrated rear facing camera, and mirrors on the non-structural front wings ‘to provide stylish and aerodynamic structures with excellent rear vision without vibration or obstruction’.
