If you thought it would be easy to drive a $1.3 million supercar such as a Praga, then think again.

Footage has emerged on Instagram showing someone driving a Praga Bohema supercar, a car that costs over $1.3 million and packs in up to 700hp.

But in the video, the driver seemed to be struggling to get the incredible-looking car moving, to the point that it juddered around quite violently.

The jerky nature of the driving made the clip a tough watch, and perhaps it’s a sign you shouldn’t drive a car if you don’t know how.

This is how the Praga Bohema supercar was being driven

The car was being filmed at an unknown location, although it looks to be in the United States.

In the footage, the supercar lurched forwards in a violent manner, jumping and bouncing as it did so.

The driver wasn’t clearly visible, but they didn’t seem to be enjoying themselves.

It looked like they were trying to get the car away from the main road and down a side street.

That does leave the potential that there was a problem with the Praga Bohema.

But equally, it could just be that they were very unfamiliar with the car and how it needs to be driven.

If you aren’t familiar with a car, it can sometimes be tricky to get it to move for the first time.

Why this supercar isn’t to be messed with

We hope that they were able to get her head around the car at some point.

With a value of $1.3 million, it’s not a supercar you want to mess around with.

The Praga Bohema is made by the Czech company Praga.

It is a fully road-legal hypercar, and under the hood is a 700hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine.

Derived from the Nissan R35 GT-R, the Bohema produces an incredible 700hp.

The 0-62mph time of the car is just 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 190mph.

With that much power available, you can probably understand why it looked tricky to drive.

It does make us wince seeing such an expensive car lurching around like an old banger.
