Here a good news for Malaysians.Malaysian luxury car manufacturer BUFORI Motor Car Company (BMCC) is extending its model range and will soon be launching a new car called the BUFORI CS.The BUFORI CS is expected to be launched in Malaysia at the beginning of 2010.
The BUFORI CS, which stands for “Compact Sports”, is a purist and powerful 2 door coupe.Unlike previous generations of BUFORI motorcars, the BUFORI CS is intentionally modern-styled.The car will be powered by a 1,998cc twin-cam turbocharged inline-4 engine.According to the source, the printed output figures issued reads: 382hp @ 3,700rpm and 960Nm @ 3,700rpm. According to Bufori engineers, the engine is none other than Mitsubishi’s 4B11T sourced from the Evo X, though the ECU has since been heavily reworked by MOTEC.
Unlike previous BUFORI models, the design of the BUFORI CS is intentionally modern, boasting elegant flowing lines and subtly pronounced fenders. Four circular LED rear lights give an additional sporty dimension to the overall, timeless elegant body.
The monocoque body is made of ultra-light and rigid reinforced Carbon Fiber & Kevlar and lies on a space frame chassis.The unequal upper and lower arm front and rear suspension with coil over shocks are fully adjustable and provide excellent road holding.
Fully designed and developed by BMCC in Malaysia, it was recently decided that Bufori would also have a race version of the car in order to prove the vehicles capabilities and performance under extreme conditions and directly apply proven racing technology to the ongoing development of the road car.
This led to the creation of the newly established Bufori Motor Sports (BMS), the motorsport division of Bufori. Through collaboration with Axle Motorsport (Axle is a familiar name – Alex Yoong is the man behind it), a company dealing in high-tech motor racing development, there is jointly development of the BMS R1 using a team of Formula One engineers and employing only the highest quality components and materials. The BMS Axle Racing Team already took part in the 56th Macau Grand Prix with the BMS R1 which meets FIA GT3 requirements.

Norman, your comment is true but that figures we got from one source.
“The printed output figures issued to us reads: 382hp @ 3,700rpm and 960Nm @ 3,700rpm….the ECU has since been heavily reworked by MOTEC.”(http://www.motec.com)
Maybe there are some typo error and maybe the true figure is 960Nm @ 7,300 rpm.This figure maybe quite reasonable.Because it will be 480Nm @ 3,650rpm.We are sorry for the mistake.
For other reader.We also have the copy of 4b11T engine brochure.Below are other information that we got about the 4B11T engine.
Mitsubishi 4B11T is the new generation engine that replaced 4G63T used in the Lancer Evo series. The most important difference between these two engines is 4B11T uses a cast aluminum block opposed to the cast iron one in 4G63T. 4B11T uses the MIVEC variable timing system on both intake and exhaust ports while MIVEC was only found on the intake port of the latest edition of 4G63T. MIVEC on both intake and exhaust offers a wider range in powerband while keeping the emmisions lower. A more responsive turbocharger, chain driven timing system, fully floating pistons and hollow chamshafts are other updates on the new 4B11T engine. Semi-closed deck structure, an integrated ladder frame and four-bolt main bearing caps are used to ensure that the new engine will meet the legendary durability of the old 4G63T.
422 Nm (311 ft·lbf) at 3500 rpm (Japanese market)
407 Nm (300 ft·lbf) at 4400 rpm (US market)
343 Nm from 2500 to 4725 rpm (353 N·m at 3000 rpm) (Lancer Ralliart)
366 Nm at 3500 rpm (European market)
