Discover the Bufori CS8, Malaysia’s exclusive handmade supercar with a supercharged 810-HP V8 engine, luxury GT design, and global appeal rivaling Aston Martin and Bentley.
The Bufori CS8 is Malaysia’s latest contribution to the world of luxury performance cars — a fully handmade supercar built with bespoke craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and blistering performance. After 10 years of development, this high-performance coupe has finally been unveiled, showcasing 810 horsepower from a 6.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. Positioned as Malaysia’s answer to Aston Martin and Bentley, the Bufori CS8 blends ultra-high performance with grand touring luxury, making it one of the most exclusive vehicles in the world.
Bufori CS8: A Malaysian Handmade Supercar for Global Markets
Bufori, a boutique carmaker based in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, employs around 150 highly skilled artisans who hand-build every single car. Unlike mass-market manufacturers, where production takes between 18 to 450 hours per car, each Bufori CS8 requires over 9,000 man-hours to complete.
The company has built its reputation on customization, exclusivity, and craftsmanship, producing cars that are as much artworks as they are automobiles. With the CS8, Bufori is stepping into the supercar and luxury GT segment, directly targeting buyers who demand performance, individuality, and global prestige.
Engine and Performance: 810 HP of Pure Power
At the heart of the Bufori CS8 is a 6.4-liter supercharged V8 engine, based on a HEMI block but extensively re-engineered with forged internals and blueprinting.
- Power Output: 810 HP (750 WHP)
- Torque: 973 Nm (718 lb-ft) at 4,800 rpm
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic with torque converter
- Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive with limited-slip differential
- Acceleration: 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.0 seconds
- Top Speed: 330 km/h (205 mph, electronically limited)
- Kerb Weight: 1,550 kg (3,417 lbs), similar to a Porsche 911
Paired with launch control, the CS8’s acceleration rivals the fastest cars in the world. Its lightweight carbon-kevlar hybrid body ensures both rigidity and weight savings, giving it an edge in both track performance and grand touring comfort.
Luxury GT Design and Features
While the CS8 is ferociously quick, it is also designed as an ultra-luxury grand tourer.
- Exterior: Handmade body panels with a long hood, wide stance, and refined proportions.
- Interior: Bespoke leather-wrapped Recaro seats with 8-way adjustments, premium stitching, mood lighting, and limitless customization options.
- Infotainment: 13.6-inch vertical touchscreen with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.
- Extras: Integrated SmartTAG toll payment system (a nod to Malaysia), Snap-On tool kit, and custom scale model of each owner’s car.
Bufori owners can personalize nearly every detail — from paint finishes to interior trim — much like Bentley’s Mulliner or Aston Martin’s Q division.
Technology and Safety Innovations
The Bufori CS8 is equipped with both performance and safety technologies designed for global roads:
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure assist, and 360-degree parking cameras.
- Brakes: Brembo ventilated floating rotors (380 mm front, 350 mm rear) with 6-piston calipers.
- Tyres & Wheels: 19-inch forged alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
- Safety: Multiple airbags, ESC, tyre pressure monitoring, and reinforced crash structures.
Price and Availability
The Bufori CS8 starts at RM 2.188 million (~USD 470,000 / EUR 430,000 / GBP 365,000).
This price includes:
- Fully handmade customization options
- Luxury GT-level performance

Bufori is expected to produce the CS8 in extremely limited numbers, making it a rare collector’s piece.
How the Bufori CS8 Compares to Aston Martin and Bentley
The Bufori CS8 positions itself as a Malaysian-built alternative to European GT legends:
- Aston Martin Vanquish / DBS: Similar in GT philosophy, but the Bufori offers more bespoke craftsmanship.
- Bentley Continental GT Speed: Matches luxury but the CS8 outperforms with higher horsepower and lighter weight.
- Porsche 911 Turbo S: Comparable acceleration but the CS8 offers a handmade, ultra-exclusive appeal.
In short, the Bufori CS8 blends European GT traditions with Asian craftsmanship, giving it a truly unique position in the market.
Final Thoughts – Is the Bufori CS8 Worth It?
The Bufori CS8 is not just a car; it’s a statement. Combining Malaysian craftsmanship, cutting-edge performance, and luxury personalization, the CS8 stands as a world-class grand tourer designed for a select group of enthusiasts who demand uniqueness above all else.
With 810 HP, handmade construction, and limitless customization, the Bufori CS8 proves that Malaysia can compete on the global automotive stage — offering something rare, bespoke, and undeniably powerful.
