Bufori prices in Malaysia span RM 1.6 million to RM 3 million for new models depending on engine choice and customisation. The August 2025 launch of the CS8 supercar at RM 2.188 million reset the brand's halo: 810 hp from a supercharged 6.4L V8, 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, carbon-kevlar body, hand-built in Kepong over 9,000+ man-hours per car. Used Bufori MK II and Vintage Cabriolet units appear in the secondary market from RM 110,000.

What is the Bufori CS8?
The Bufori CS8 is the company's halo supercar, launched on 28 August 2025 as a 350 mm wheelbase extension of the earlier CS prototype. Owner Gerry Khouri describes it as "the most powerful Malaysian production car ever." Specifications:
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Headline engine | 6.4L Supercharged V8 (Hemi-based) |
| Power | 810 hp (750 hp at wheels) |
| Torque | 973 Nm @ 4,800 rpm |

| Top speed | 330 km/h (electronically limited) |
| Transmission | 8-speed torque converter automatic |

| Kerb weight | ~1,550 kg |
| Build time | 9,000+ man-hours per car |
| Price (OTR) | RM 2,188,000 |
Buyers can also specify the CS8 with four alternative engines, each with its own price impact:

|---|---|
| 6.4L V8 naturally aspirated | 475 hp / 640 Nm |
| 3.6L V6 supercharged | 455 hp / 495 Nm |

| 3.0L twin-turbo inline | 550 hp / 677 Nm |
What is the Bufori Geneva?
The Geneva is the four-door luxury saloon that debuted at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. It remains in production with two engine options. The 3.6L V6 build at RM 1.6 million is the entry to Bufori ownership; the 6.4L V8 at RM 2.2 million+ is the natural step up.
What separates a fully-customised Geneva at RM 3 million from a base Geneva at RM 1.6 million is the bespoke programme: hand-stitched Italian leather, automatic coffee machine in the rear console, integrated mini-bar, fridge, cigar humidor, even a Chinese tea set with instant boiling water. Each car is built order-by-order; no two Genevas are identical.
Where are Bufori cars made?
Every Bufori is hand-built at the company's Kepong factory in Kuala Lumpur with 150 Malaysian staff. The brand was founded in Australia in 1986 by the Khouri brothers; full production moved to Kepong in 1998. The factory uses a 25-step traditional production process with no continuous assembly line, each chassis is hand-finished from carbon-kevlar composite (in production at Bufori since 1989) before powertrain installation.
How is a Bufori commission ordered?
The order flow is closer to bespoke tailoring than retail car-buying:
| Stage | What happens | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Initial enquiry | Visit Kepong showroom or contact Bufori Malaysia HQ; brief on use case + customisation wishlist | Day 0 |
| 2. Configuration | Choose model (Geneva or CS8), engine, body colour, leather, console fittings, audio, paint, special requests | 2-4 weeks |
| 3. Quote + deposit | Final OTR confirmed in writing; deposit (typically 25-35%) confirms slot | Day 30-45 |
| 4. Build | Carbon-kevlar shell, powertrain, interior fit-out, hand finishing across 25 steps | 9-12 months (Geneva), longer for CS8 |
| 5. Delivery | Final inspection at Kepong, transfer of ownership, JPJ registration | Same day handover |
Commission deposits are non-refundable once the build starts because the spec is unique to the buyer. The order book moves slowly, small annual output combined with a 9,000+ man-hour build per car keeps capacity tight.
How does Bufori compare with Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Koenigsegg?
Bufori sits in a distinct corner of the bespoke segment. Comparable price-tier marques each play a different game:
| Marque | Price tier (RM) | Where built | Customisation depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bufori Geneva / CS8 | 1.6M – 3M | Kepong, Malaysia | Total, every interior fitting buyer-specified |
| Bentley Continental GT / Bentayga | 1.4M – 1.8M | Crewe, UK | High via Mulliner programme |
| Rolls-Royce Phantom / Spectre / Ghost | 2.5M – 3.5M | Goodwood, UK | Highest via Bespoke programme |
| Koenigsegg Jesko / Gemera | 13M – 15M (private import) | Ängelholm, Sweden | Hypercar-tier; commission-only |
| Lamborghini Urus / Revuelto | 1.4M – 2.6M | Sant'Agata, Italy | Ad Personam programme |
Bufori's positioning is unique: at the Bentley/Lamborghini price tier with deeper Rolls-Royce-grade customisation, but with the local provenance of Malaysian build and the rarity of small-batch coachwork.
Are second-hand Bufori cars available in Malaysia?
Used Bufori transactions are rare. Roughly four routes exist:
- Bufori Malaysia network, original buyer trades in or returns the car for resale through the factory; first-look priority typically goes to existing customers
- Specialist exotic dealers, Naza Italia, Vincar (Singapore), and a handful of KL exotic specialists handle Bufori on consignment
- Carlist and Mudah, occasional MK II or Vintage Cabriolet listings, typically from collectors deaccessioning
- Auction, extremely rare; Bufori does not go through routine auction channels
A pre-owned MK II from around 2000 has appeared at RM 110,000 with 10,000-15,000 km on the odometer. Geneva resale at three years runs 50-65% of build cost; five years drops to 35-55%, depending on rarity of the original specification and condition.
How would I finance a Bufori in Malaysia?
At RM 1.6-2.2 million, Bufori financing is the territory of private banking and high-net-worth lending desks rather than retail hire purchase. Three realistic structures:
| Structure | Typical terms | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard hire purchase | 10-30% down, 5-7 year tenure, 3.0-3.8% flat | Buyers with stable RM 80k+ monthly income |
| Private banking facility | Custom collateralisation against existing assets | Existing private banking clients |
| Cash purchase + balloon | 50%+ cash, balance over 3-5 years | Cash-rich buyers wanting to stage outflow |
For standard hire purchase, the rate gap between banks compounds materially at this loan size. Affin Bank, Maybank, and Public Bank are the three Malaysian banks most likely to extend retail HP at the Bufori price tier, each requires a personal credit interview and proof of current asset position. The DSR calculator won't help here in the standard sense (most buyers exceed the RM 5,000 income threshold by orders of magnitude); the bank's bespoke private-banking risk view replaces the BNM 60% DSR rule.
Bufori road tax and insurance
The Geneva 6.4L V8 (about 6,400cc) and CS8 (6.4L supercharged, also ~6,400cc) sit deep into Malaysia's >3,000cc progressive saloon road tax bracket. Annual JPJ road tax for the 6.4L bracket runs RM 17,400+ per year in Peninsular Malaysia (RM 2,130 base + RM 4.50 × 3,400cc above the threshold). The Geneva 3.6L V6 sits in the 3,001-4,000cc band at roughly RM 4,830 per year. See road tax in Malaysia for the full progressive scale.
Comprehensive insurance for a Bufori averages RM 25,000-50,000 per year depending on agreed value, no-claim discount, and whether the policy covers track use. Most owners insure with PIAM-tariff insurers (Etiqa, Allianz, AIG) on individually-underwritten policies, the standard online quote engines don't cover Bufori at all.
