Supercars come from Italy. Occasionally America, Germany, and Sweden get special dispensation thanks to the likes of SSC, Porsche and Koenigsegg, respectively. A country supercars do not traditionally originate from is the Philippines, but that's where the Aurelio you see here was built.

Low-slung, brightly colored and ever so slightly evoking hints of modern McLarens and Ferraris, the Aurelio certainly looks like a supercar. Whether it performs like one is a different matter—GT Spirit reports two engine choices and neither is traditional supercar material. A Honda B16A V-TEC engine—such as you'd find in an old Civic Si—or a Mitsubishi 4G63T turbocharged 2.0-liter provide the power. Each has the potential for useful pace, but this is no multi-cylinder monster.

By the standards of typical Philippine transport though it should do the job, and either engine should be easy for Aurelio to find in a country where four-cylinder cars are the predominant choice. Unfortunately, no performance details have been revealed—and aside from the company's Facebook page there's not a lot of activity either, outside of some appearances at Philippine car shows.

The Aurelio then is unlikely to challenge the big-name brands in either performance or sales, but who are we to begrudge a country its first high-performance sports car?

wheel well too big for the wheels lol i think those rims are atleast 20's
 
My friend had told me about this, being Filipino myself, I laughed and said "what's in it? A B16? lol"

Then I read this

Can't wait to see the final product though. Looks cool nonetheless.
 
Looks like a DIY kit, word to CamNelson

But really though, they need to reach out to StanceNation or something and help them with those ill fitting wheels. It totally throws the look off, and wheels look like some universal lug "racing" wheels from firestone or pep boys. 
 
But what did ya'll expect from the Philippines lol a v10? I'm just enjoying it for what it is
 
is it

"WE MADE IT!" or "we made it" lol

gotta put a rosary on the rearview or somthin word to santonino

it's like if i took a fan and put a bucket of ice in front of it, and called it a high performance super air conditioner, and then had an article written about it.

Shrugs. You're looking too deep into this.
 
:x Looks like an unfinished tube car


If I wanted an off brand "Supercar" with an underpowered outsourced motor I would opt for the Mitsuoka Orochi.
