The Bufori CS is a two-door, two-seat sports Coupe from the Malaysian manufacturer Bufori. It represents the first model in a new lineup of vehicles from the company.
Unlike previous BUFORI models, the design of the BUFORI CS is intentionally modern, boasting elegant flowing lines and subtly pronounced fenders. Four circular LED rear lights give an additional sporty dimension to the overall, timeless elegant body.
Bufori have been around since 1986. Originally based in Australia the company has been successfully producing cars like the La Joya for many years and exporting them to markets all around the world including Australia, Europe, USA, and the Middle East.
The CS, which stands for 'Compact Sports', marks a new styling direction for Bufori. All their previous vehicles have had a distinctly classic appearance, but the CS is modern in its design.
The monocoque body is made of ultra-light and rigid reinforced Carbon Fiber & Kevlar and lies on a space frame chassis. The unequal upper and lower arm front and rear suspension with coil over shocks are fully adjustable and provide excellent road holding.
The Bufori CS is a two-door coupe powered by a 2.0-liter turbo engine. The power and torque output of this engine have yet been released, but the manufacturer says it will deliver “an exhilarating driving experience”.
The company says the Bufori CS has a monocoque body made from carbon fiber and Kevlar, that lies on a space frame chassis. For better handling the Bufori CS will come with an unequal upper and lower arm front and rear suspension and coilovers.
Beneath the lightweight carbon fiber-and-kevlar monocoque body sits a four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo-charged high performance engine, front-mounted, on a space frame chassis. At the time of writing, Bufori has not released performance figures of this car.And Bufori is not stopping here – it has gone on to create a race-version of the car, called the Bufori BMS R1 in less than 10 weeks, working with a team of Formula One engineers and partners Axle Motorsport. The “BMS” acronym stands for Bufori Motor Sports, the company’s newly formed motorsports division, underlining the automaker’s serious interest in motor-racing.
For the record, the Bufori BMS R1 took to the tracks in its inaugural race at the 56th Macau Grand Prix over the weekend. Though the affair was a short-lived one, with the race car being forced to retire only after four laps after an accident, BMS Team Principal and Managing Director of Bufori Sales & Marketing (BSM), Joe Lim, is upbeat about the R1’s prospects.He said: “The race experience has provided the team with a lot of useful data. Whether in the development of the CS road car or the BMS R1 race car, it will be a great help. This is also why we entered this race in the first place: implementing race developed technology and utilizing the race experience on our road car.”
