There are very few countries in the world that manufacture supercars. There are the stylish Italians, brutal Germans and recently the elegant British too have joined the party. Even countries like Sweden and Japan are building vehicles to compete with the big boys.

The first supercar made in the Philippines is called the Aurelio. The supercar has been made by two engineering student Kevin Factor and Brendan Aurelio. Both of them are just 21 years old and have built a stunningly good looking car.

Certain parts of the Aurelio supercar are made out of carbon fibre, while most of it is fibreglass. The design is unique overall, other than the headlights, which look very Ferrari-like. The major inspiration has been from Italian supercars, we guess. It is a good first attempt by the Philippines.

The Aurelio will offer several colours, alloy wheels and mainly two different engines to choose from. A 2.0-litre turbocharged Mitsubishi 4G63T engine and a Honda B16A V-TEC 1.6-litre engine are on offer. Performance figures have not been revealed yet, we believe they should be impressive.

The rear of the Aurelio is unique and nothing like what is available. It has a boomerang design for the brake light with a small spoiler in the middle to separate the two. The exhaust is a single outlet mid-mounted into the rear bumper. We really like how this car looks and are can't believe this is their first attempt.

The creators of Aurelio plan to hand build only ten of the supercars, thus maintaining exclusivity and value of their product. They plan to sell the Philippines supercar for a minimum of INR 26,81,028. However, unknown performance figures could hurt sales of the vehicles.
