A Hypercar in Need Of Hype
Robb Report Singapore|April 2023
The US$1.28 million, V6-powered, Czech Republic–built Praga Bohema has been rocketing under the radar—but not for long.

A Hypercar in Need Of Hype

WOULD YOU PART with well over a million dollars for a hypercar powered by a Nissan V6 engine? What if it’s built by a company you’ve never heard of, in a country with no history of producing such high-performance vehicles? Praga, in the Czech Republic, hopes you might. Worth considering? Its Bohema model might represent one of the last chances to order a new hypercar powered solely by an internal-combustion engine.

Praga is no upstart. In the 1930s, it made aircraft and more automobiles than Skoda and Tatra, the Central European nation’s better-known carmakers, combined. But it is a start-up. Now in private ownership, its focus has shifted to race cars. Its first customised road-going hypercar has been designed and engineered almost entirely inhouse—rather like the Rimac Nevera, which also hails from a country, Croatia, with no previous history of developing such machines.

Best of the Best - Wine

Lounging in a Maldivian resort, wine-tasting in Bordeaux, putting a sports car through its paces at Sonoma Raceway, curating the best watches from Geneva, perusing the top menswear accoutrements in Milan, testing cutting-edge yachts in Monaco. The life of a Robb Report editor may sound glamorous, but-actually, we can't argue there. Even so, separating the wheat from the chaff is no small task in the luxury realm, since even the chaff can be mighty impressive. In our 36th annual Best of the Best issue, we again offer our assessment of the past year's most exemplary products, places and experiences. And yes, edition number 37 is already underway.
