Praga’s racing-focused Bohema supercar is poised for a grand entrance to the States.
A Czech manufacturer known for its engineering and racing expertise, Praga shook up the supercar landscape when its Bohema was announced some years ago, an ultra-lightweight high-performance machine made to be a race car that was also road-legal. However, the excitement has continued to build for the $1.5 million masterpiece, with the first example being delivered late last year with racing driver Romain Grosjean present, the Bohema setting a record on the former Top Gear test track for pure combustion-powered cars, and a dynamic debut at the storied Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Now, Praga is set to reach another milestone with the launch of the anticipated Bohema, with the first example of the supercar to be in the US making its way Stateside as we speak. The owners, Mark and Marcie Butters of Boca Raton, Florida, took delivery of the car at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, with its 700 horsepower and lightweight, racing-focused construction wowing attendees.
The delivery was preceded of a three-car unveiling alongside two other customer examples of the Bohema, with the Festival of Speed’s founder, the Duke of Richmond, Tomas Kasparek, the owner of Praga Cars, Mark Harrison, the Marketing Director of Praga Cars UK, and Jan Martinek, the chief engineer of Praga Cars in attendance.
The other two cars were a Moldavite Green example destined for the Netherlands, and a Deep Space Purple car for a UK customer. The car coming to the United States, however, is finished in exposed carbon fiber with gold detailing. Once the Butters’ new Praga Bohema reaches the United States, the car is set to take part in car shows around the country to show off the groundbreaking new supercar, whose uncompromising racing-oriented engineering is preserving the excellence of combustion-powered performance cars. With an immense 700 horsepower coming from its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6, and less than 2,300 pounds to move, the new Praga Bohema is a serious high-performance machine that will be making waves in the US very soon.
