Production
The car was introduced in November 2022.[2] Production began in the second half of 2023, when the first 10 cars were made. In the same year, the Czech brand opened its new representative office in England, where customers had the opportunity to specify the car. In the next four to five years, around 20 cars will be produced by each time.[3] Production will be limited to 89 units, to celebrate Praga's 89th anniversary since Praga's victory at the 1000 Miles of Czechoslovakia in 1933.[4]
After modest delays, the first unit was delivered to a Dutch buyer for €1.36 million plus taxes in December 2024.[5]

Perspective
Although the Bohema is heavily oriented towards track performance, it maintains several features that somewhat preserve its useability as a road car, such as storage bins located at the rear wheel arches and Alcantara stitching in the interior.[4][6] British firm Litchfield Engineering has also made several modifications to the engine, which is shared with the Nissan GT-R. The VR38DETT's wet sump oil system has been replaced with a dry sump, the turbochargers have been replaced with Litchfield's own, bringing power and torque up to 710 PS (700 hp; 522 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 725 N⋅m (535 lb⋅ft) between 3,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm, and is paired to a titanium exhaust at the rear.[7]
Power is sent through the rear wheels via a 6-speed Hewland sequential manual transmission, to tyres fitted with Pirelli Trofeo R (305/30 ZR19 102Y rear, 245/40 ZR18 97Y front). This arrangement allows for the interchangeability of road tyres with track-only Michelin slicks, which are the same size.[8]
The mechanical grip is complemented by the radical exterior design that Praga claims will provide 900 kg (1,984 lb) of downforce at 250 km/h (155 mph).[8] This is a similar ratio to the Bugatti Veyron. With such downforce, the car could theoretically drive upside down at this speed. Extensive use of carbon fibre throughout the car including its chassis gives it a kerb weight of just under 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).[9]
