JAKARTA - Praga, one of the world's oldest automakers, has finally started production of the Bohema hypercar more than a year after the model was released in prototype form. Production was supposed to start last year with an initial plan for 10 units, but was delayed for undisclosed reasons.

In the company's latest release, January 16, it is said that Praga will release a production version of Bohema to the public in the spring of 2024, with the opportunity for a limited trial to be offered to customers. Meanwhile, the final production amount was not disclosed even though the company previously said that the total production would reach 89 units.

The first hypercar customer was recently also invited to visit the Praga special assembly facility to see the hand-making process, which focuses on materials, manufacture, and completion of the highest quality. To note, one Bohema unit produced by this 117-year-old automotive manufacturer has an initial price of 1.36 million euros or equivalent to IDR 23 billion.

Then during production, Bohema also took part in a series of trials involving famous names such as former F1 racers who switched to IndyCar, Romain Grosjean, former BBC Top Gear Stig Ben Collins, and Praga's main driver test and experienced GT racer Josef Kral.

One of the highlights of Praga Bohema is his engine - a 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 engine from Nissan GT-R, modified by Litchfield, a well-known British engineering company.

For Bohema, reported by CarBuzz, January 17, the engine is capable of generating up to 700 stances at 6,800 rpm and 725 Nm of torque from 3,000 to 6,000 rpm. This means that the engine is slightly stronger than the MC20 Maserati which has 621 hp power, although with a capacity greater than the 3.0 liter Nettuno engine.

Praga has the highest speed of more than 300 km/hour and can accelerate from 0- to 96 km/hour in less than 3.5 seconds.

Apart from machines, legal supercars are used on highways and focused on these trajectories equipped with monocog chassis and carbon fiber body, weighing 982 kg. And with the use of aero elements, Bohema produces a maximum downforce of 900 kg at a speed of 250 km/h, exceeding the downforce of Mercedes-AMG ONE or McLaren Senna. Obviously, this increases grip and stability at the bend and helps maintain higher speeds as it bends and improves overall control.

Praga is rumored to be sending cars to its first customers in the first half of 2024. Submission to customers will continue until 2024 in the United Arab Emirates and the United States, while production by 2025 has also been scheduled.
