Praga Bohema: Nissan GT-R powered supercar revealed

Czech producer Praga has confirmed its means within the racing, karting, biking and aviation worlds, and it now hopes to make its mark within the hypercar phase with the €1.28 million (AU$1.98 million) Praga Bohema hypercar. 

The mannequin will probably be restricted to 89 models, with simply 10 vehicles scheduled for manufacturing in 2023 and roughly 20 vehicles per 12 months for the 4 years following. 

The Bohema encompasses a windshield encompassing the cockpit, dramatic entrance wings with mirrors mounted on skinny stalks, and a tall spoiler, all of which go away the mannequin wanting like a hybrid between a race automobile and a fighter jet. 

Every mannequin will probably be hand constructed within the Czech Republic within the meeting facility of Czech rally legend Roman Kresta and delivered to prospects at a race observe, fairly than at a conventional vendor.. 

The Praga Bohema is powered by a mid-mounted 3.8-litre, twin-turbo V6 engine from the Nissan GT-R, additional modified by Litchfield Engineering to make much more energy.

Output targets for the Bohema are 521kW at 6800rpm, and 725Nm of torque from 3000 to 6000rpm. Primarily based on what Litchfield has extracted from the GT-R engines previously, locking in these outputs shouldn’t be a problem.

The transmission is a Hewland sequential ‘field with a robotised clutch, sending torque to the rear axle.

A carbon fibre monocoque makes the Bohema one of many lightest hypercars out there, with a pre-fuel weight of 982kg in comparison with the likes of the Bugatti Chiron at 1996 kg or the Pagani Huayra Codalunga at 1280 kg. 

The automobile produces greater than 900kg of downforce at 250km/h, with a prime velocity over 300km/h. 

It rides on 18-inch wheels, behind which cover 380mm carbon ceramic discs with six-piston calipers, and an unbiased push-rod suspension utilizing horizontal dampers.

The steering wheel, driver’s seat, and pedals are all adjustable, and steps are constructed into the footwells to assist the passenger and driver into the virtually horizontal ‘race-position’ seats.

Taking inspiration from Praga’s aviation division, the local weather controls are in a ‘fighter-jet type roof console’, and there are even moulded recesses for the passenger’s arms and elbows. 

Praga says the mannequin was ‘impressed and guided by’ former F1 driver Roman Grosjean and that the engineering staff used an undisclosed Components 1 staff’s wind tunnel to develop the aerodynamics of the automobile. 

The Praga Bohema has only some ultimate improvement months to make sure street readiness earlier than it enters manufacturing within the second half of 2023, and a ultimate manufacturing specification will probably be offered in early 2023. 

Orders for the road-legal Bohema at the moment are open in ‘all main hypercar markets’ together with Australia.
