Aurelio
The company was founded by the trio Brendan Aurelio and the siblings Kevin and Bryan Factor.
The first two models were powered by a B16A V-engine TEC and a 2.0-liter Mitsubishi 4G63T turbocharged engine.
With the Mitsubishi engine, the Aurelio vehicle reaches a top speed of 290 kilometers per hour and covers a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds.
In 2023, the Aurelio is equipped with a Honda 3.5 Vtec engine producing 281hp @6500rpm, with a six-speed automatic with paddle shift. The weight of the car is only 790kgs. The car is made of carbon fiber and fiberglass, is equipped with 18-inch Rota wheels and has VR4 front and rear suspension.
The driver and passenger enter the Aurelio's interior through scissor doors and are greeted by a sidepod cabin made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) and carbon fiber components The Aurelio offers trim and upholstery that can be customized according to the buyer's preferences and needs.
About 80 percent of the car’s parts and components are sourced from the Philippines. With the exception of the wheels, transmission, some suspension components, brakes and engine, everything in this car was sourced locally.
10 vehicles are produced a year.
