Czech manufacturer Praga will use the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026 to showcase not only the performance of the Bohema, but also the engineering philosophy behind one of the most radical road-legal supercars ever built.
The company will bring two examples of the Bohema to the event, along with an exhibition dedicated to what it calls “hyper-engineering“—an approach based on testing, reviewing, refining, and optimizing every component until the lightest, most efficient, and most functional solution is achieved.
Most interestingly, Praga does not want to present the Bohema simply as a car with impressive performance figures. It is a road-legal supercar developed with racing logic: it weighs less than 1,000 kg, produces 700 bhp, and uses advanced aerodynamics to combine track-level performance with genuine road usability.
The Bohema represents an increasingly rare category in the modern supercar world. Rather than relying on heavy electrification, excessive luxury, or cutting-edge cabin technology, Praga follows a purist formula: low weight, aerodynamic efficiency, and race-proven engineering applied to a limited-production vehicle.
During the Festival of Speed, the Bohema will also take part in Goodwood’s famous hill climb, driven by Ben Collins, the brand’s ambassador and test driver. For spectators, this is an important detail: Goodwood is far more than a static display. It is an event where cars accelerate in front of the crowd, making it easier to appreciate their sound, presence, grip, and dynamic behavior.
At Praga’s stand, located next to the Supercar Paddock, two full carbon-fiber cars will be the main attractions. One is a customer car finished in an unusual purple carbon and green color combination, delivered shortly before the festival. The other features black carbon fiber with orange accents and a lion graphic inspired by the Czech Republic’s coat of arms.
This visual detail helps explain the project’s philosophy. In the Bohema, carbon fiber is not merely a premium finish or decorative material. It is a fundamental part of the car’s structural and aerodynamic concept, reducing weight while reinforcing the appearance of a race machine disguised as a road-legal vehicle.
The brand also promises to showcase five technical aspects of the Bohema’s development, revealing how specific solutions were conceived and refined. The goal is to bring visitors closer to the car’s development process, not just the finished product. According to Praga Technical Director Jan Martinek, every design and engineering decision on the Bohema was treated as an opportunity to make the car “better, lighter, faster, and more beautiful.”
It is worth remembering that Praga is a manufacturer with a rich motorsport heritage, although it is less familiar to the general public than brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, or McLaren. The Bohema is a direct product of that racing tradition: it does not attempt to be a comfortable everyday supercar, but rather an extreme interpretation of how closely a road car can resemble a racing prototype.
