Bufori has announced that it will present an all new vehicle at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Called the MkVI saloon for now, it will be powered by a 6.1 litre engine. Unfortunately we do not have information regarding its power figures at the moment. It took Bufori two years to develop the MkVI which is the brand’s first 4-door vehicle.
Pictured above is an initial sketch released by the company and it points to Bufori’s typical design language: modern day motoring under a vintage-styled skin. It will be made to order and production is scheduled to start in June 2010. Bufori will also reveal the saloon’s official name during the launch.
Harvinder Singh Sidhu thinks there's nothing better than Formula 1, not even sliced bread. Having written about cars since 2006, he plunged head first into the industry out of a passion for all things four-wheeled and everything in between. The F1 enthusiast has been following the sport since 1999 and has been keeping up with it since. In between races he keeps himself busy as the host of the Driven motoring TV programme and as our version of the Joker.
Well, it looks good, but wonder if its practical. Its a huge engine, wonder if its any practical. they should go for a smaller engine
hope they have the engine in the right place!!
hmm….this looks like a mistake did by americans
Wow, suicide door! Well, I do hope Bufori could one day become the Pagani of luxury saloon. New luxury brand but with pedigree as good as RR or Bentley.
made in Kepong
Buforis are not known for their 'practicality'. They are special niche vehicles. Don't see anything wrong with a large cc 6L engine especially for a 4 door large saloon type of luxurious car.
By the way, go to this Twitter link if you guys want to know what is happening F1 testing, Live from Jerez, Spain. It looks that Fairuz Fauzy is driving the Lotus T127 quite well.

1:39.6 for Fauzy, 1:40.0 for Barrichello. They are still the only two men on track.

Now, this is something good. Hehehe.
a successor for La Joya??
barrichello has never been a superb driver. he is just too slow most of the time.
meanwhile, suicide door is one of the hardest door to be done on a car when they need to meet the regulation of crash test.
Paul,
If you had looked carefully during your visit to the factory last year, you would probably notice the concept model already completed, and it has got the YTL logo on it, kind of like the flying lady of the Rolls-Royce.
It wasn't an outstanding design, but it's revolutionary, compared to their previous models. Hope government can give them support to develop their brand.
Looking at the sketch, will it retain the front looks of its current cars? I think Bufori should move the game on, maybe modernized retro look in the same way like Morgan & Weismann cars.
Jaybond,
you i agree with you on the morgan and weismann look. modern retro.
I wonder which OEM engine will they source from?
It's probably a HEMI V8
Is this an in-house design or Bufori contracts an outside firm? Looks good for a global market.
bufori…………………
sound familiar. are they based in malaysia?
I have a soft spot for guys like Bufori. Their cars might be wacky, but I feel they build cars that they passionately want to see on the road, not what the survey/marketing ppl says. Maybe this is what most journos call the car's 'soul'. You can feel that the people who makes the car really cares about it.
If this car is any good, the state royalties should at least support this company a bit by buying one for their use. Then, at least they can claim to support Malaysian product.
I like Weismann. U had a visit to the factory, eh Paul?
Made in Malaysia Muscle Car with small block V8.
Does it comes with bouncing/hip-hop front suspensions?
Hydraulic suspensions btw
They shud also revise retro futuristic Lagonda V8
sah buatan tangan orang malaysia.mesti tengok dekat baru komen.
Dye to the country of origin I hope it is going to be quality/price winner.
It is interesting how much new companies are preparing to get into the automotive business despite recession and bad business environment.
