The CS8 is Bufori’s first grand tourer, a front-engined two-door that took about ten years to reach production. It grew out of a CS race-car concept from 2009, was shown as a running prototype in 2019 and launched in August 2025 with a wheelbase 350 mm longer than that prototype’s. It is 4,568 mm long, 2,030 mm wide across the mirrors and sits on a 2,609 mm wheelbase.
The body is a carbon-fibre and Kevlar hybrid composite monocoque, and it is the structure: the stainless steel frame inside the car carries mounting points rather than loads, and the roof has a roll cage built into it. Bufori quotes a target unladen weight of 1,450 kg, while its own published specification lists 1,550 kg depending on how a given car is configured.
The engine sits behind the front axle line. In its headline form it is a 6.4-litre Hemi-derived V8 that Bufori blueprints and rebuilds with forged internals and a supercharger, rated at 810 hp, or 750 hp measured at the wheels, and 973 Nm at 4,800 rpm. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a ZF eight-speed torque-converter automatic and a limited-slip differential, with a manual available on request. Bufori claims 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds using launch control and an electronically limited 330 km/h. Four other engines are offered, from a 550 hp 3.0-litre twin-turbo down to a 320 hp naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6, and the price does not change with the choice.
Brembo supplies 380 mm front discs with six-piston calipers and 350 mm rears with four, and the production car runs adaptive dampers where the prototype used passive coilovers. Wheels are 19-inch forged alloys on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres. Inside there are Recaro eight-way seats, a 13.6-inch portrait touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure assist, and a 252-litre boot. The price is RM2,188,000 on the road without insurance, and first deliveries are set for the first quarter of 2027.
