What's the story
Czech-based carmaker Praga has revealed the Bohema for the global markets. The vehicle is essentially a race car, which happens to be completely road legal. The hypercar is currently in prototype form and follows the design language seen on the R1R model. The aerodynamically-tuned four-wheeler is fueled by a Nissan GT-R-derived 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that develops 700hp of power.

Why does this story matter?
Founded in 1907, Praga is a heritage automaker that supplied engines and gearboxes for other vehicles, such as aircraft and tanks. Since 1929, it has been touted as one of the largest engineering companies in Czechoslovakia. The R1 race car (Bohema's predecessor) was introduced by the carmaker in 2012 and has had multiple victories in events such as the 24 Hours of Zolder.
