Czech race car specialist Praga has joined the ranks of hypercar manufacturers following the reveal of the new Bohema, an extreme track machine designed to also be driven on the road.<\/p>\n
With a name referencing the 115-year-old Praga’s Czech roots, the Bohema has been developed from scratch, though its engine is derived from the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 from the Nissan GT-R. The engine in the Bohema has been breathed on by the U.K.’s Litchfield Engineering, with Praga’s targeted output being 700 hp, or 100 hp more than the output of the GT-R Nismo<\/a>.<\/p>\n The engine in the Bohema is mounted behind the cabin and paired with a Hewland sequential transmission. The engine also gets a titanium exhaust that runs from the turbos back. Litchfield also installed a dry sump lubrication system that helped reduce the height of the engine by 5.5 inches, enabling Praga to mount the engine low in the car.<\/p>\n
