FOR THE PAST few years, the routine has become very familiar: revive long-dormant marque name, launch electric hypercar. The recent unveiling of the Praga was different. For a start, the company is far from 'resting' - it didn't build a road car from 1947 to 2016, but it has continued to make vehicles for the military and others. Not only that, its new Bohema will be propelled by a petrol-powered V6.
The engine is a 3.8-litre twin-turbo unit, sourced from the Nissan GT-R and fettled by Litchfield Engineering, and will provide 700bhp at 6800rpm. Mid-mounted, and powering a sub-one-tonne kerbweight via a race-bred Hewland six-speed sequential gearbox, it promises GT3 performance on the road. Projected 0-60mph time is under 2.3sec, with a more super than hyper 185mph-plus top speed.
