The gruesome race-machine from Eastern Europe, we know him yet?

Two years ago we were first introduced to Praga. A company that has its origins in the build of karts, but several years ago decided to be a Le Mans-esque cannon-on-wheels to manufacture. And according to a known recipe: carbon fiber from floor to roof, minimalist interior, zespuntsgordel + racezetel, steering wheel with info display, and a very low car weight. 590 kg empty, to be exact.

For the drive, they went loose on a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine of Renault Sport, which is on the turbo-ventilator was placed. Result: 210 hp and 220 Nm, corresponding to an output of 356 hp per ton.

You see yourself the trackdays all visits with this structure (where the Radicals of this world still can learn from them in terms of styling)? Good news, because we have a second hand found on Autoforum. There is a at Prestige Motorsports in Miami, allegedly with a stroked block that is 350 hp supplies. New costs the 97 centimetres high, device 98.000 euro, so we expect this for the price of a well-decorated Audi A6 be able to get. Who is going to pick him up?

UPDATE: by coincidence there was recently a race-R1 on the back of a trailer is spotted, the photos check you on autojunk.
