Aurelio - First Filipino Super Car

[JC-Tsikot]

What can you say about Aurelio? The First Filipino Made Super Car!

Last MIAS (2016) Tsikot partner with Aurelio and joined the carshow and surely it was a hit! Everybody loved Aurelio, felt proud that in front of them is the the First Filipino Made Super Car!

Yep, there's a car in the picture.

Here's an earlier thread...

IMO, its something we don't need right now...

We once had the PHUV which could have been a good alternative to the FX, sadly it didn't materialize...

I wonder whose the target market for this car?

What we need is a people's car... Our version of the Tata Nano (India)

I had always wondered about its price point. I heard some rumors about its pricing but nothing concrete yet.

It is said that Aurelio will commercialised at around P2million. But the car is still not in production... so the price is still speculative. Hopefully they will commercialise this car. It will be great for the Philippines pride and economy ! And also great fun to drive one around :-)

This is a nice video that gives more information about it:

Hated that ad. It's all-hype. For example, how can it be Filipino "through and through" when it's using what looks like a Jap engine and goodness knows what suspension system? They also use too many superlatives like "pure luxury", "unprecedented", etc. Says it's got speed, acceleration and handling.... Don't ALL cars have those? Lol!

Just to be clear, I'm hating the ad, NOT the car. I just thought they oversold it.

i read an article saying that its actually fitted with either a honda b16 which is a popular engine in the drag racing scene and a mitsubishi 4G63T, hehe what's funny about the ad is that they keep saying it has something like 500+ horsepower under its hood but reaching 100 km/h takes 10 seconds wth is that. A supercar is supposed to reach 100 km/h under 3 seconds. hahaha

It's a start, but don't expect anything big out of this unless investors backs them up with proper R&D. Engines and other parts can be licensed like how Perodua Malaysia does with Toyota. Hyundai also licensed Mitsubishi with the 4d56, the starex/delica, and the galloper/pajero. Point is, if we want a homegrown auto brand, we have to start somewhere.
