Praga Bohema set for its dynamic debut at the Festival of Speed

It’s now being put through its paces to see just how fast it is. Most recently, it’s been in action at Dunsfold where it set a lap record for a pure combustion-engined car. A time of 1:09.8 brought the Praga within a tenth of a second of the Aston Martin Valkyrie’s best time.

Weighing just 1,000kg and packing around 700PS (515kW) from its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6, the Bohema is about as extreme as it's possible to go with a road-legal machine, and we’ll see it in action at Goodwood for the first time when it takes to the Hill at the Festival of Speed.

With a full carbon-fibre body sculpted using a Formula 1 wind tunnel to produce more than 900kg of downforce at 155mph, it’s equipped with racing suspension and carbon ceramic brakes which combine to deliver performance that you’d expect to be more at home on a race track, but Praga has said its car will be equally capable on the road.

The three lucky owners will receive the keys to their new Praga cars, each hand built to bespoke specifications in the Czech Republic, during a special moment at the Festival of Speed which will also see them get their first experience as a passenger on the famous Goodwood Hillclimb.

The 2025 Festival of Speed takes place on 10^th-13^th July. Friday and Saturday tickets are now sold out, but Thursday and limited Sunday tickets are still available.
