Praga Bohema, Czech hypercar, blurs the line between road car and race car:
Praga is a Czech automaker on the verge of launching a spectacular hypercar with a power-to-weight ratio that makes the McLaren Senna look obese. We've now driven that car, the Bohema, in prototype form on a circuit in the U.K.
It looks like a race car, but the Bohema is unrelated to the existing R1, as it uses an entirely different carbon-fiber core structure. As with, it has been designed around a teardrop-shaped cabin pushed as close to the car's center line as possible to improve aerodynamic performance. Standing next to the car first impressions are of how much isn't there, given the size of the spaces behind the minimal bodywork, which create channels to sculpt airflow.
Fortunately, the Bohema proves to have an abundance of grip—both mechanical and aerodynamic—and also the sort of handling balance that brings reassurance in something so potent. The transmission shifts with a clunk at low speeds, and the Nissan V-6 brings a buzzing vibration into the cabin. But unlike Aston's Valkyrie, which is almost painfully noisy inside even when wearing a helmet, the Bohema is not excessively loud.
