Aurelio, the first Filipino supercar (first impressions/early review)

Sometimes there can be a disconnect between what one sees in the details and what one sees in the overall picture. A good example would be excrement art. If you would look at its composition, namely poop, you might question its aesthetic merits. But if you'd look at the entire work, you might find that it transcends the sum of its individual parts (big emphasis on might) This is perhaps not the best analogy for a car but I'll get to my point in a while. This bunny is made out of human excrement I first heard about the Aurelio a few years ago. Bac k then I thought it was going to be called the "Pacita fibertech". A car name that is just slightly more glamorous than "Nene" or "Erning." The specs back then were sparse. I was expecting 200hp+ and a rolling chassis based on a Japanese car. I thought to myself, ferrari 458 copy on top of a japanese subcompact chassis. Meh. Now the specs are out and I finally got to see the car in per...

Jetour Unveils the Off-road Focused, T3 SUV

Shanghai, China. Jetour unveils the T3, an off-road focused, 4x4, body on frame, hybrid SUV at the Shanghai Auto Show. It features a 2.0L turbocharged engine coupled to dual electric motors which send power to all four 22inch wheels. Currently we dont know the total power output or the battery capacity but Jetour did show-off the naked chassis of the T3 and the battery appears to be quite massive, as well as the dual electric motors. Total range in EV mode is 200Kms. The body sits on a steel ladder frame chassis. It has a robust double-wishbone suspension setup on all four corners. It also appears to have air suspension, at least from what i can tell visually ( there was no english spec sheet at the time of this writing) The T3 has a pretty innovative steering system which can rotate the wheels in different directions and allows it to achieve a very tight turning raduis or even to rotate in place -A useful feature in tight off road situations. When you open...

Why do people lower their cars?

Why do people lower their cars? This is a question often asked by non-car enthusiasts. “ To improve the car’s performance, so I can take corners flatter ” –this is the usual response. But what they really mean is. “ Who cares if I lose a tooth every time I hit a pothole at 60mph, I want my car to look good " I haven’t done a scientific survey but I'm pretty sure that 70% of the time, people lower their cars for looks. There are obvious trade-offs but the car will look sportier, long er and wider once it’s lowered. If you plan to upgrade to bigger wheels, lowering the car becomes essential as putting 17in or bigger wheels on a non-lowered car will give the car a “lifted” look. Case in point below: 19in wheels on a non-lowered car Same wheels, same car but it doesn’t look like it’s on jack stands this time. How do I drive a lowered car: You’ll find that driving a lowered car requires a new set of skills that they probably won’t teach you at your local driving ...
