The 2023 Praga Bohema has finally been revealed - with 700bhp and a kerb weight of just 987kg, two years of track development has brought us to this:
’s 5.2-litre atmospheric V10, but while the V10 would undoubtedly have sounded superb, Audi couldn’t guarantee ongoing support for an engine nearing the end of its regulatory life, which was a deal-breaker for Praga.The Bohema will be hand-built at the Czech facility where the R1 is assembled, and under the direction of ex-Ford WRC driver Roman Kresta.
Because the gearbox engagement is automated, there’s no need to mess around with easing in a knife-edge clutch, and because Nissan’s VR38DETT engine is largely unchanged from what you’ll get in any R35 GT-R, it pulls tractably and cleanly from idle. Mind you, second and third gear slot home with proper attitude when you’re at low revs, and even lifting out of the throttle momentarily only helps so much.
As for the dynamics, we don’t get to push our Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R-shod prototype especially, but even at five-tenths it’s an all-encompassing machine, guttural and gritty, only without much in the way of fear factor. Just how forgiving it is at the limit is something we’ll find out, but Praga’s stated aim is to make his car adaptable to a range of skill levels, so maybe we shouldn’t expect something too spiky.
