In a week steeped in national pride, Bufori Motor Car Company has unveiled its most ambitious creation yet: the all-new Bufori CS8. Priced at RM2.188 million, the Ultra High Performance Grand Tourer blends explosive power, artisanal craftsmanship, and bespoke luxury like few cars in the world can.
Handcrafted in the heart of Malaysia and launched in partnership with Affin Bank at Menara Affin, TRX during Malaysia’s Merdeka celebrations, the CS8 signals a striking evolution in Bufori’s storied 40-year legacy. Known for crafting some of the world’s most exclusive vehicles, Bufori has once again raised the bar, this time for the discerning grand touring enthusiast.
Raw Power, Refined Delivery
At the heart of the CS8 lies a front mid-mounted 6.4-litre supercharged V8, delivering a formidable 810 horsepower (750 at the wheels). Power is sent to the rear via a high-performance eight-speed paddle-shift transmission, offering rapid, seamless gear changes.
Whether you’re navigating tight switchbacks or cruising effortlessly across continents, the Bufori CS8 offers a dynamic yet controlled drive that stays true to the spirit of Grand Touring. Confidence is further reinforced by Michelin high-performance tyres, ensuring superior grip in both wet and dry conditions.
The chassis is a technological marvel in itself. The Carbon-Kevlar monocoque body keeps weight to a minimum (from just 1,550 kg) while maximising rigidity and safety. The suspension is a finely tuned adaptive multi-link setup, offering a delicate balance of corner-carving precision and cross-country comfort. Brembo 6-piston monobloc callipers ensure stopping power to match the car’s mighty performance.
An Interior Like No Other
Inside, and the CS8 reveals its other soul: one of sumptuous luxury and exquisite detail. Each cabin is entirely bespoke, an intimate reflection of its owner’s tastes and desires. Electrically adjustable Recaro bucket seats, cloaked in the world’s finest leathers, sit alongside exposed carbon-fibre panels, blending performance intent with refined elegance.
Bufori’s dedication to craft is evident in every touchpoint. Traditional hand-stitched upholstery meets modern material innovation, offering a space that is as calming on a cross-continental drive as it is exhilarating during spirited sessions behind the wheel. From bespoke paint finishes to custom trim inlays, no two CS8s will ever be alike.
Crafted in Malaysia, Built for the World
Requiring 8,000 to 9,000 hours of meticulous handcrafting per vehicle, the CS8 is a celebration of Malaysia’s growing stature in global automotive excellence. “The CS8 represents the pinnacle of Bufori’s design and engineering capabilities,” explained Gerry Khouri, Founder and Managing Director of Bufori. “It is a car built for those who demand quality, attention to detail, and uncompromising performance.”
Felix Haller, General Manager of Bufori, added, “With the CS8, we are introducing an Ultra High Performance Grand Tourer that is every bit as exclusive as it is exhilarating.” Bufori has long championed individuality, craftsmanship, and engineering without compromise. With the CS8, it provides discerning drivers a chance to own not just a high-performance machine but one crafted and customised exclusively to their own tastes.
