    Default The Philippines Has A Homegrown Supercar, and It’s Lovely

    There are certain countries on the globe that ooze supercardom. One of them just won the World Cup in fact, and you can delegate in the comments below as to what the others are. A country that certainly doesn’t come to mind is the Philippines, though that could change soon.

    This is the Aurelio – a sleek, pretty-eyed wet-dream turned supercar, built by a four-man Philippine crew called Factor Aurelio Automobile.

    ********************

    ...a turbocharged Mitsubishi 4G63 four-cylinder that allegedly boasts 457hp per ton, capable of shooting the Aurelio up to a top speed of 186mph.

    ********************

    The company can produce about six to 10 units a year with their current manpower, which are pegged to go for about 1.6 million Philippine pesos or the equivalent of $37,000 a pop. Let’s hope these guys succeed.

    Looks fan-bleeding-tastic to me.

    Just think, you're getting a Ferrari /Lamborghini type speedster for about the price of an SUV. I'm pretty sure insurance won't be SUV like.

    Lamborghini is a bit of a stretch there.

    A tuned up 4g Mitsu engine really is a gem of an inline four cylinder but not exactly comparable to a V12 700+ horsepower carbonfiber rocket ship.

    If this car can be bought in the sub 40 grand territory and has reasonable build quality (saying alot) it could be a real hit!
