PRAGUE (July 2, 2026) – Czech supercar manufacturer Praga is set to showcase its record-breaking Bohema supercar and unique engineering philosophy at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Alongside dynamic hill runs by renowned Praga ambassador and test driver Ben Collins, visitors will explore an insightful engineering display highlighting the innovation, development, and attention to detail behind the road-legal track car.

The Praga stand is situated next to the Goodwood Supercar Paddock with a display focused on Praga’s “hyper-engineering” approach—an unfaltering commitment to inventing new solutions, questioning convention, and refining every component until it is lighter, stronger, more effective, and often more beautiful too.

A pair of all-carbon Praga Bohema supercars will star in the Praga display. The road-legal supercar weighs less than 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg), combining 700 bhp, advanced aerodynamics, and race-car engineering to deliver extraordinary performance on both the road and the track. Developed using Praga’s decades of motorsport expertise, the Bohema has already established multiple production car lap records while remaining usable for spirited road driving.

“At Praga, we see every design and engineering decision as an opportunity to be better, lighter, faster, and more beautiful. The Bohema is the result of thousands of incremental improvements, countless hours of testing, and a willingness to challenge the norm. Showcasing at the Festival of Speed provides the perfect opportunity to share not only the finished car, but also the engineering journey behind it.”

– Jan Martinek, Praga Technical Director

At Goodwood, visitors to the Praga stand can check out a pair of Bohema supercars—a purple carbon customer car handed over right before the Festival, and a black carbon version completed by orange detailing and a lion motif from the Czech coat of arms. Alongside the supercars, enthusiasts will be able to explore five key engineering exhibits, each revealing a different aspect of the thinking and development process behind the Bohema.

Key Engineering Exhibits on Display

1. Steering Wheel Exhibit – The Ultimate Driver Interface
Praga’s removable, F1‑inspired steering wheel is engineered with performance purity at its core. The figure-of-eight-style wheel is uniquely molded for perfect hand placement, with its grip refined over three years of testing to feel natural across different hand sizes, palm shapes, and finger lengths.

The design integrates precision shift paddles, an electronic clutch lever, and motorsport LED shift lights, with an LCD display set within the wheel to display critical driving data. Forming a brutally direct connection between the driver and the Bohema, the Alcantara‑trimmed carbon wheel also enables control of drive modes, lighting, and wiper functions without the driver needing to move their hands from the wheel.

2. Driver Control Interface “Enterprise” Exhibit – The Tactile Bohema Experience
Praga’s “Enterprise” overhead control panel delivers a distinctly aerospace‑inspired command interface, machined from anodized aluminum with carbon‑fiber controls for minimal mass and maximum tactility.

Centered around an integrated display and rotary controller, three finger-spaced control zones place essential driving and comfort functions within easy reach. Ignition, Start/Stop, vehicle menus, a rotary encoder, and mechanical door releases sit within immediate reach, while the central display surfaces tire data, fuel range, and system status. It’s a functional, high‑precision touchpoint that amplifies the Bohema’s technical, driver‑centric character.

3. Pedal Box Exhibit – Tailored to the Driver
Praga’s adjustable EN AW 7075‑T6 pedal box is engineered for uncompromised driver fit and mechanical purity. The seat, steering column, and sliding pedal box work together as a customizable driving environment, allowing the cockpit to be perfectly tailored to each driver.

Its quick‑release fore‑aft adjustment is heel-pushed into position and locked by two independently operated safety mechanisms, while the wide brake pedal and slim throttle deliver confident pressure and ultra‑fine modulation. The Bohema’s intelligent electronic clutch also enables a clean two-pedal layout, supported by a sliding carbon footrest for longer journeys.

4. Headlamps Exhibit – Machined Engineering, Made Visible
Praga’s exposed, CNC‑machined headlamp structures turn a functional component into a statement of lightweight engineering. They bring a normally unseen layer of the car’s engineering to the surface, making the Bohema’s precision manufacturing approach even more visible.

Material is carved away for maximum rigidity at minimum mass, with every pocket and rib machined to remove unnecessary weight while preserving the stiffness required of a fully adjustable road-legal lighting system. Road‑legal or track‑focused positioning sharpens its stance, while custom finishes let owners showcase precision craftsmanship.

5. Engine Decklid Exhibit – Mechanical Choreography
Praga’s five‑axis‑machined engine decklid features an innovative hinge mechanism that elevates a functional opening into a display of pure engineering. Weighing just 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg) yet delivering exceptional stiffness, the mechanism was developed to operate around the fixed rear wing.

It guides the engine cover through a carefully controlled, precisely defined motion, clearing the fixed rear wing and revealing the powertrain with a bit of theater. Compact and rigid, it choreographs movement within one of the most tightly packaged areas of the car, making the act of opening the decklid as satisfying as it is technically resolved.

Looking Ahead
Having smashed production car lap records at international circuits close to its Czech manufacturing base during 2025, the company has spent much of 2026 focused on the production of its hand-built customer cars. Praga has delivered its Bohema supercars to customers worldwide, with many set to join the company in 2027 to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the historic Czech manufacturer.
