BUFORI is a brand of hand-built automobiles inspired by American 1930s coupes. The company is owned by three Australian Lebanese brothers Anthony, George and Gerry Khouri. In 1986, Gerry Khouri began to build three special sports cars in his garage, one each for the three brothers, which led to the formation of the company. The name "BUFORI" does not have any essential meaning, but rather supposedly stands for B - Beautiful U - Unique F - Fantastic O - Original R - Romantic I - Irresistible.

The BUFORI Motor Car Company Pty. Ltd. is a proprietary company limited by shares and registered in Australia, as is the BUFORI Motor Car Company (M) Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia. Originally, all of the manufacturing and sales operations were conducted in Australia, but in 1998 full production moved to new facilities in Kepong, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia.

The production facility in Kuala Lumpur has an installed capacity of 300 vehicles per year, and the company employs 110 skilled craftsmen. Each unit is built by hand using traditional techniques in a 25 step production process. The body of a BUFORI is made out of Carbon Fibre and Kevlar composite material, which is light and ultra-strong. Every BUFORI is made to order and can be customised according to the owner's wishes.
