Handovers, Hillclimbs and Hot laps…new Praga Bohema owners enjoy 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed and Dunsfold test track in record-breaking hypercar

Praga turned on the style at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed (and, some said, stole the show in The Supercar Paddock) with the public debut of two new 700 hp, sub-1,000 kilo Bohema production cars, and handovers to three Bohema owners.

The three car stand featured stunning new customer cars in Deep Space Violet, exposed carbon and Moldavite Green (all with gold detailing and gold wheels), which highlighted Praga’s bespoke skills at working with gold leaf and carbon. Each car was handed over to their excited clients before Praga’s ambassador and test driver, Ben Collins, drove them up the famous Goodwood hill for the ride of their lives.

Tomas Kasparek, Praga Cars owner, said: „It was a really proud moment for Praga to present our company in the supercar runs and alongside brands like Koenigsegg, Maserati and Gordon Murray. To also invite our new customers to enjoy this moment with us and take delivery of their cars with all the Praga team was memorable. I believe we really made an impact and started a new chapter for our historic brand.“

The Goodwood Festival of Speed Praga diary

Thursday 10th July: Praga was proud to welcome His Grace, The Duke of Richmond, to help reveal the three new customer Bohemas. In joining Tomas Kasparek and Ben Collins, the first Praga hypercars for UK and US clients were presented alonsgide the first Bohema featuring gold leaf detailing, and bound for The Netherlands.

Friday 11th July: Family and friends of #horsepower.vip joined Praga in the afternoon for the reveal of their Deep Space Violet Bohema. The stunning car is the first Bohema for the UK. Visiting The Goodwood Festival of Speed for the first time, the owners of the first Bohema bound for the USA also arrived on Friday, being presented with their car in the morning before heading to the hill with Collins.

Saturday 12th July: more hillclimb action for the new Bohema owners. First US customer, Mark Butters #mnbutters, also experienced Goodwood and the exposed carbon Bohema for the first time and said „What an amazing day!!!!!!! The Praga team exceeded in this project in every aspect. The pictures do no justice to the details, depth and clarity of the exposed carbon finish. Thank you to the entire Praga organisation.“

Sunday 13th July: The final handover of the weekend saw #timothy_timboo receieve his Moldavite Green Bohema with gold leaf detailing. The beautifully spec’d and finished car becomes the second Bohema in the Netherlands after #mclarentwins received the world’s first Bohema hypercar at the end of 2024.

From stage to screen 1: new Bohema owners move from Praga’s Goodwood stand to TV’s most famous track – the Top Gear TV Dunsfold circuit

Following the excitment of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ben Collins – the ex-BBC Top Gear Stig – welcomed all the Bohema owners to his „playground“, the famous Dunsfold test track. The famous test track hosted a private test day so that the new Bohema owners could get to grips with the car’s performance potential. Collins showed the owners the best lines and took them on a hot lap, retracing the tyre tracks of a few weeks ago when he set a new road car lap record for an ICE car.

As Marcie Butters, owner of the world’s first exposed carbon (with gold details) Praga Bohema said: „The greatest time of my life on the track with Mr @bencollinsstig.“

From stage to screen 2: Bohema stars in DriveTribe, Top Gear and Hagerty YouTube films

As well as Ben’s DriveTribe YouTube film, the Bohema has also recently starred on the Top Gear and Hagerty YouTube channels where the car’s performance on road and track, its engineering and design details and its unique position as a true race car for the road where roundly praised.

BBC Top Gear’s Tom Ford spent four days with the Bohema on road and track, through Prague and in paddocks, and said: „This is a car that has just done a trip across an entire country and visited three different race tracks and set the lap record on each one on the same set of tyres. That’s incredible…it’s an ode to light weight, carefully crafted engineering…I used to think that a track-focused hypercar that actually works was a complete myth. Turns out I was wrong. The Bohema isn’t a myth: it’s more of a legend.“

In experiencing the Bohema on Czech roads and looking back at Praga’s storied history with the 1932 Praga Super Piccolo, Hagerty’s Henry Catchpole said: „It has the details you won’t find anywhere else…it certainly has performance…and with a maximum of 89 cars being produced it will always have rarity.“
