Founded in 1986, Bufori was born from Gerry Khouri building three special sports cars for himself and his two brothers out of his Sydney garage, but this was only the beginning.
Now based in Malaysia, Bufori produce a variety of sports cars employing 108 skilled craftsmen and produce approximately 300 units a year.
Standing for Beautiful, Unique, Funtastic, Original, Romantic and Irresistible, Bufori’s are produced using a 25-step production process using a body constructed out of carbon fibre and kevlar.
Every Bufori is made to order and is customised to the specifications of the customer.
Designs were inspired by American models of the 1930s starting off with the Madison in 1986. Bufori established a factory in Merrylands, Sydney using the handcrafted techniques of coach building to build its unique range.
It wasn’t until 1989 and the Bufori MkII when the use of composites was used for the body.
The early-1990s provided exportation opportunities for Bufori and one of those key markets was Malaysia.
Upgrades continued including a new model introducing a 3.8-litre V6 before the course of the company changed through a meeting with the Malaysian Prime Minister in 1991.
Bufori entered the world of motorsport through cross-country events and the ill-fated Cannonball Run in 1994, right at the time transferring of the business to Malaysia began.
The new factory was completed in Kepong in 1998, with an MkII finished fifth in class at the 2000 Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race.
Bufori BMS R1 was a step above anything the manufacturer had built and moved the away from the retro designs previously sold.
Adding to the line-up was the long-wheelbase and luxurious Geneva, while concepts for the CS coupe, plus the CS8 boasting 810hp.
Bufori’s journey is not one followed by others and continues to advance at a fast rate.
