The launch of the CS8 is especially symbolic, taking place in the week of Malaysia’s Merdeka celebrations, a proud reminder that this world-class creation is designed, engineered, and handcrafted entirely in Malaysia.
Unveiled in partnership with Affin Bank at Menara Affin @ TRX, the CS8 fuses the thrill of dynamic performance with the poise and sophistication expected from an Ultra High Performance Grand Tourer, delivering an experience that is both visceral and refined.
The Spirit of Grand Touring
At its heart, the CS8 houses a front mid-mounted 6.4-litre supercharged V8 engine, producing an extraordinary 810 horsepower (750 wheel horsepower). Power is controlled to the rear wheels through a high-performance 8-speed paddle-shift transmission, offering fast, confident, and seamless gear changes that adapt perfectly to both relaxed cruising and spirited driving.
This powertrain delivers blistering acceleration for dynamic performance, while preserving the relaxed cruising capability essential to the Grand Touring ethos. Confidence in all conditions is further enhanced by Michelin high-performance tyres, ensuring assured grip and control in both wet and dry environments.
The CS8’s Carbon-Kevlar monocoque body marries advanced engineering with lightweight construction, ensuring exceptional rigidity and safety without compromising agility. With a curb weight starting at 1,550 kg (depending on individual specifications), the design achieves a remarkable 25% weight distribution over each corner, further enhanced by an adaptive multi-link front and rear suspension tuned for both precise cornering and long-distance comfort. Braking performance is equally uncompromising, courtesy of Brembo 6-piston monobloc callipers, delivering exceptional stopping power in all conditions.

Performance Meets Luxury
Inside, the CS8 is a sanctuary of luxury and craftsmanship. Every detail is created with the discerning driver in mind, from electrically adjustable Recaro bucket seats wrapped in the world’s finest leathers, to exposed structural carbon-fibre interior panels that proudly hint at the car’s performance pedigree.
The cabin blends traditional artisanal techniques with cutting-edge materials, creating an environment that is both contemporary and timeless. As with all Bufori creations, the CS8 is entirely made to order, granting each owner complete freedom over their car’s specification, from bespoke paint finishes and hand-stitched upholstery to personally selected trim materials. No two CS8s will ever be alike; each is a unique reflection of its owner’s individuality and taste.

It is designed for the driver who wishes to cross continents in style and speed, arriving as refreshed as when they departed. With the CS8, we are introducing an Ultra High Performance Grand Tourer that is every bit as exclusive as it is exhilarating.”
