Warning !! Extreme Mutation !! The Bufori MKII below evolved to the above Bufori CS  !!!

That was always the impression that i had about Bufori, that they make very good classic roadsters. But its all changed now, with the introduction of the Bufori CS in their stable !!

The CS here stands for “Compact Sports”, where it was fully designed and developed by BMCC (Bufori Motor Car Company).

The monocoque body is made with the ingredients of very light reinforced carbon fiber and kevlar and bolts on a space frame chassis.

On the engine bay, this baby is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine, no figures on the power and torque yet… I always feel that a 2.0l turbo will be a just nice car to drive around with the enough ooommmpphhh :p

I think when they official figures are revealed, it will be definitely crazy, as this car sounds and looks very light, coupled to a turbo, i can’t imagine the power-to-weight ratio :p

With such a good car, naturally in order to prove this car’s prowess they will definitely have to go on track.

The Bufori guys wanted to race. And with this in mind, the Bufori Motor Sports (BSM) came into picture. The team also collaborated with Axle Motorsport and developed the Bufori BMS R1, which is the race edition of the Bufori CS.

“After two years of hard work in designing and developing our new sports car, the BUFORI CS, we are very proud that a racing version of our car has been developed and will have its first public appearance at such a prestigious event as the Macau Grand Prix. We could not have wished for a better occasion. Our intention is to transfer the racing technology to the road version of the BUFORI CS and bring in all the qualities for which BUFORI is renowned” says Felix Haller, General Manager Marketing & Operations of BMCC.

The guys in BMS AXLE RACING team will be competing  in Macau this coming weekend for the 56th Macau Grand Prix. Bufori is the first Malaysian manufacturer to be taking part in the Macau GT Grand Prix at the Guia Circuit.

I am pretty sure it will be extremely exciting, good luck to you guys !!!

It was recently decided that BUFORI wanted to have a race version of the car, in order to prove the vehicles capabilities and performance under extreme conditions and directly apply proven racing technology to the on going development of the road car.

This lead to the creation of the newly established BMS (BUFORI MOTOR SPORTS), which is the motorsport division of BUFORI.  Through the collaboration with AXLE MOTORSPORT, a company dealing in high-tech motor racing development, BMS and AXLE MOTORSPORT jointly developed the BUFORI BMS R1 using a team of Formula One engineers, employing only the highest quality components and materials.

“After two years of hard work in designing and developing our new sports car, the BUFORI CS, we are very proud that a racing version of our car has been developed and will have its first public appearance at such a prestigious event as the Macau Grand Prix. We could not have wished for a better occasion. Our intention is to transfer the racing technology to the road version of the BUFORI CS and bring in all the qualities for which BUFORI is renowned” says Felix Haller, General Manager Marketing & Operations of BMCC.

“BMS AXLE have followed a very tight working schedule, in under 10 weeks, to create this race car, and we are looking forward to being a part of this racing event and making history with BUFORI, the first Malaysian sportscar to run at the Macau GT Cup” says Joe Lim, the BMS Team Principal and Managing Director of Bufori Sales & Marketing (BSM), the global Distributor of Bufori vehicles. “This race marks the beginning of a new era for BUFORI. With the BUFORI CS, the company is expanding its portfolio to purist, modern styled sports cars, with the usual uncompromised BUFORI quality.” he adds.

BUFORI is the first Malaysian manufacturer to participate at the Macau GT Grand Prix.
The Guia Circuit of Macau is a street circuit with a combination of fast straights and tight corners. It is recognised as one of the most challenging and demanding circuits in the world.
