Macau, 20 October 2012 – Malaysian luxury automobile manufacturer Bufori is pleased to announce its participation in the 2012 Macau International Motor Show, taking place at The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel from 26 to 28 October 2012.
The exhibition will mark Bufori’s first appearance at the Macau International Motor Show, now entering its second edition. The company will showcase its distinctive Bufori MKIII La Joya in Hall E, alongside some of the world’s most prestigious luxury and performance automobile manufacturers.
Held under the theme “Brand, Bridge and Opportunity”, the three-day exhibition will bring together international automobile manufacturers, industry representatives, prospective buyers and motoring enthusiasts, providing a platform for automotive brands seeking to strengthen their presence in the rapidly developing Asian market.
For the occasion, Bufori will present an elegant MKIII La Joya finished in deep metallic burgundy, showcasing the company’s distinctive contemporary-classic styling, meticulous craftsmanship and luxurious interior appointments.
The Bufori MKIII La Joya, whose name means “The Jewel” in Spanish, draws inspiration from the graceful proportions and timeless elegance of luxury automobiles from the 1930s, combining traditional coachbuilding craftsmanship with contemporary automotive engineering and modern technology.
The exclusive two-seater coupé features a lightweight composite body incorporating carbon fibre and Kevlar, a mid-mounted 2.7-litre V6 engine and a luxurious handcrafted interior appointed with fine leather upholstery, polished wood trim and carefully selected materials.
Every La Joya is individually handcrafted at Bufori’s manufacturing facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, allowing discerning customers to personalise their automobiles according to their individual tastes and preferences.
From exterior colours and premium leather combinations to bespoke interior appointments and intricate finishing details, each Bufori represents a unique expression of its owner’s personality and lifestyle.
Gerry Khouri, Founder and Managing Director of Bufori, commented:
“Macau is a flamboyant city and certainly a splendid platform for our handmade cars.”
Khouri added that the company looked forward to welcoming visitors and giving them the opportunity to experience the quality and craftsmanship of Bufori’s timeless automobiles firsthand.
Bufori’s debut in Macau represents another important step in the company’s international expansion, particularly as it continues to establish a stronger presence in the Greater China luxury automobile market.
Earlier this year, Bufori officially introduced its flagship Bufori Geneva luxury saloon to the Chinese market at the Beijing International Motor Show, following the opening of a flagship showroom in Shanghai’s prestigious Xintiandi district.
These developments form part of Bufori’s broader strategy to establish an international network serving customers who appreciate individuality, exclusivity and traditional automotive craftsmanship.
With its reputation as a destination for luxury hospitality, entertainment and exclusive lifestyle experiences, Macau provides an ideal setting for the company’s distinctive handcrafted automobiles.
The 2012 Macau International Motor Show is expected to feature approximately 55,000 square metres of exhibition space, bringing together leading international manufacturers, luxury marques and specialist automotive companies.
For Bufori, participation in the exhibition offers an opportunity to introduce the brand to new audiences, engage with prospective customers and business partners, and further promote Malaysian automotive craftsmanship on the international stage.
Founded in Sydney, Australia, in 1986, Bufori has developed into an internationally recognised manufacturer of exclusive handcrafted luxury motor cars, with its manufacturing operations based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Following appearances at prestigious international automotive exhibitions in New York, Frankfurt, Shanghai, Dubai, Hong Kong and Sydney, Bufori continues to strengthen its international reputation as an independent manufacturer of distinctive luxury automobiles.
Visitors to the 2012 Macau International Motor Show are invited to discover the exclusive world of Bufori and experience the craftsmanship of the MKIII La Joya at the company’s display in Hall E from 26 to 28 October 2012.
