Praga R1 Turbo Full-Carbon does SlovakiaRing in 1:58,41

A specific customer from Slovakia decided to get his dream car in full-carbon look. As easy as it may look at a glance, simply not paint the body panels with ordinary colour, things were much more complicated this time. All the members of the hand making crew had to pay a very special attention to the details, as this body finish shows every single detail of the “naked” body and especially carbon-fibre structure. A very special task was to put all the body panels together so they are in line with each other. A that really was not an easy task.

A one off version of Praga R1 is a turbocharged model with some 350 bhp yet weights in at less than 600 kg. This black projectile has an exceptional power to weight ratio of only 2,32 kg per kilowatt! Or in other words 585 bhp per tone. Just for comparison, Praga R1’s best time on SlovakiaRing is 2:06,69. Turbocharged version manages one lap on the same 5,92 km long circuit in 1:58.41. Being almost 9 seconds faster than already quick R1 which in terms of track performance is fully comparable to 3-4 times more expensive FIA GT3 cars is mind boggling.

Full-Carbon version was delivered to a lucky customer with a very refined sense for aesthetics and mechanical beauty last month.
