Bufori to spring a surprise in Geneva


Bufori, an Australian car maker which has moved to Malaysia in 1986 will be having its own booth in the upcoming 80th Geneva International Motor Show.

Not only that, the company will be launching its first four-door car, powered by a Hemi 6.1-liter V8 engine.

CBT was given a chance to have a sneak peak at the car, and suffice to say that the car is breath taking. 

Arriving in the four-door Bufori will give you the same kind of impact as arriving in a brand new Rolls Royce.

The company actually has sold a unit of the car, and has been delivered to the customer (bought by a wealthy family as a birthday gift to the father).

The car that we saw came with the very best Nappa leather, has its own faucet and  a system that can provide boiling water for making chinese tea.

The chassis is a hybrid - space frame alloys infused with the carbon-kevlar unibody. 

Bufori will also launch the CS sports car, its first car with modern styling.

The racing version of the car was driven by Alex Yoong in last year's Macau race. 

Looking like a baby Aston, the CS will also come in a convertible body.

One thing about Bufori is that almost everything is made in-house; from the frames and tail light lenses down to the heating mechanism for the tea making machine.

CBT will publish a more comprehensive story on this Kepong based company. 

We hope that petrol heads who think that Bufori is a kit car will change their mind, like how our trip there changed ours.

I like anything with wheels, shopping cart included. There is something special about things on wheels and how to control them.
