Praga Bohema Supercar Coming Soon To Middle East: A Fusion Of Lightweight Engineering And Power

After seven years of secret development and testing, Praga unveiled its first Bohema production supercar. The event, held on December 6 in The Netherlands, saw the handover of the first customer car by Romain Grosjean. This milestone reflects Praga's commitment to innovation and quality in the automotive industry.

Jan Martinek, the Engineering Director at Praga Cars, emphasized the complexity behind creating something seemingly simple. The Bohema, a testament to lightweight and aerodynamic design, aims to offer a race driver's dream: an all-carbon, ultra-lightweight supercar with unparalleled aerodynamics and power.

"Making something complicated is easy; delivering something supposedly simple is difficult, and we set out to provide a special group of owners with what's basically a race driver's supercar: lightweight, all carbon, ultimate aero and high power. You can use it on road and track, on the same day, every day. We wanted it to be the lightest supercar in the world, the fastest on track, and for it to be beautiful: no-one else makes a car like this," said Martinek.

Praga's manufacturing plans include scaling production to one to two cars per month from 2026 through 2028, aiming to build fewer than 20 cars annually. This strategy will maintain the Bohema's exclusivity and quality, focusing on five core markets: EU/UK, USA, South Asia, Middle East, and Japan.

Praga's history of innovation, dating back to its inception over a century ago, has played a pivotal role in the Bohema's development. Martinek highlighted the brand's longstanding values of lightweight engineering and aerodynamics, drawing parallels to Praga's Super Piccolo road racer from 1934. These principles are echoed in the 2025 Praga Bohema, showcasing what Praga could have achieved had its car production not been halted 80 years ago.

"Even in the early days of automotive design and manufacturing, Praga was known for its innovations in using lightweight engineering and aerodynamics: look at our Super Piccolo road racer from 1934. These core values are presented in the 2025 Praga Bohema, and it could be argued the Bohema is exactly the car that Praga would have developed today if car production hadn't been halted 80 years ago."

The Bohema, a road-legal, race-inspired supercar, sets itself apart with its pure combustion engine, designed for both thrilling power and nimble agility on track. Its braking system, featuring 380 mm carbon ceramic discs and six-piston calipers, complements the car's lightweight and aerodynamic prowess.

The teams behind the Bohema, led by Juraj Mitro and Jan Martinek, engineered this vehicle to cater to discerning car collectors while remaining a challenge for the most skilled drivers. Romain Grosjean's involvement in the development process underscores the car's racing pedigree and high-performance standards.

The initial Bohema was meticulously hand-built and painted, a process that underscores Praga's focus on quality and craftsmanship. The first delivery prompted a simple yet profound acknowledgment: "Magnificent!" This reaction encapsulates the meticulous attention to detail and personalized service that Praga promises its customers. Each car in the planned low production run for 2025 features unique colors and trim details, ensuring that every Bohema is one-of-a-kind.

Mark Harrison, Praga Cars' Sales and Marketing Director, highlighted the challenge of fulfilling the promise of a new, enticing vehicle for car enthusiasts. "The quality of the first Bohema that Praga has delivered cannot be understated. It is very easy to promise car enthusiasts an enticing new vehicle, but incredibly hard to design, develop and then produce a car that delivers on that promise. Praga has done exactly that with the Bohema: a supercar of superb quality in production and performance – with an earned right to be considered by all collectors."

Ivan Krakora, Praga Group CMO, expressed pride in Praga's history and the significance of delivering the first customer car. "Everyone at Praga is humble and proud of this business that was founded in the late-19th Century. We're also aware that heritage means nothing unless a product is delivered that resonates with today's car enthusiasts and collectors. Delivering the first customer car is the ultimate confirmation of Praga's right to exist as a supercar manufacturer: we are proud that automotive connoisseurs have put their faith in Praga."

In conclusion, Praga's launch of the Bohema supercar marks a new chapter in its storied history, blending heritage with modern engineering and design. With a commitment to excellence, innovation, and exclusivity, Praga stands poised to leave a lasting impact on the automotive world.
