est exotic car. It's mid-engined V8 and wrapped in the smoothest exterior you've ever seen. The name Aurelius. Can the Orello compete against top-tier hypercar brands like? McLaren and Ferrari will either be plagued by poor build quality and poor performance. Stay until the end of the video to find out that Aurelio Automotive took the stage in 2013 with a stylish but crude prototype, the exotic 5 Glass was designed by a 21-year-old engineer. student Kevin Factor with his friend Brendan Aurelio, the initial model was named Factor Aurelio as a combination of the names of its creators and, while the Factor Aurelia was unique enough to achieve global recognition, the

supercar

brand based at Laguna has continued to spend the last eight years refining and optimizing. the design into a much more mature and well-built product it now appears that the small Filipino company is almost ready to launch its second model starting January 27, 2021.

A series of renders have been uploaded to the company's social networks in 3D made by ty design. The media hinted at what might come next. Aurelio's first supercar was a small but attractive coupe built from the ground up with a mid-engine tubular space frame and hand-made fiberglass body panels; the vast majority of the mechanical components were excluded from other manufacturers that made the Aurelio, the parts have been a bit special with a mitsubishi suspension and a honda b16a engine, according to the few videos published, it seems that the build had kart handling and a Respectable amount of power, but nothing that could compete with modern McLarens and Ferraris, yet all that. could change with the introduction of Aurelio's next supercar, although only a few details have been leaked so far, it seems obvious that this next model could be a game-changer for the niche exotic brand.

The outdated exterior of 2013 has completely evolved into a sleek and refined package with There are many recognizable design cues to distinguish it from conventional supercars. The Aurelio's front end and in particular the headlights are clearly reminiscent of the previous design, but it has been given a sharper look with improved curves and a set of low-mounted splitters to cut off the air and is finished off with a bonnet vent. flowing more freely to improve aerodynamic efficiency. Things get even more interesting on the side of the Aurelio, where the car's mid-engine profile translates into a magnificently striking silhouette.

There have been a few different iterations of the mirror design. depicted in the renders, in addition to including a set of high-tech cameras that allow the driver better side visibility without disrupting the smooth lines of the car, another image shows the potential option for glossy carbon fiber accents that outline the lower intake and the side skirts. The exterior is finished off at the rear with a simple center-mounted exhaust, razor-thin taillight strips and a wide diffuser that wraps under the car and if I had to pick one aspect to complain about in the new Aurelius design , it would definitely be the rear.

It just looks too flat and one dimensional compared to the rest of the car and in some pictures it even looks like the vents may not be working which would be a huge negative in my opinion, but overall the cool exterior is huge. It is an improvement over the previous model and there is always room for changes before its official launch, which now leads us to discuss what engine the Aurelio may have when it is launched and like many other small exotic brands, the model is likely to get its powertrain from a different manufacturer To save time and money in development, current Irelia models have used everything from a 500-horsepower turbocharged Honda engine, a 3.5-liter V6 option, and even a rumored prototype chevy goes that comes out of the side badges.

I think we can reasonably assume that The new Aurelio will be V8 powered and if I had to guess, it would probably use a powertrain similar to the 6.2 liter LP5 engine used in one of their older models. This supercharged American powerhouse is a reliable source of up to 750 horsepower, which should be more than enough to help the lightweight Aurelio keep up with the biggest supercar brands on the track for more information on theoretical pricing, release date and name of the new aurelia model. I reached out to the brand on social media with a few questions, but unfortunately have not received a response. response at the time of recording, but we can still make some estimates based on the information the brand has publicly released, as well as what we know about its previous releases.

The old Aurelio was believed to cost around 1.6 million Philippine pesos, which converts to a little over 30,000 US dollars, that's an incredible deal for a custom-built mid-engine exotic and even if the model Upgraded costs triple that amount, you'll still get a lot of car for your cash. Officially, the brand refers to its models by a few different names. usually just the
