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.

De Tomaso Racing Blue Blood
IF THE MARQUE De Tomaso is mainly familiar to you through cars such as the Mangusta, the Pantera, maybe the Longchamps and, if you're next-level classic car geek, racers such as the P70, then the sheer variety to be found in this mammoth tome is going to come as something of a shock. There are literally dozens profiled here, and one or two will probably be news to even the most seasoned enthusiast.
