We Pinoys are well known for our ingenuity in making impossible things happen. And when it comes to customizing cars and coming up with the snazziest and most awesome designs in body kits, we’re hard to beat (think A-Toy, StarBright, etc).
Is that a Ferrari!?
Is this the beginning of a new age, where Pinoys can produce their own SuperCars? Well just take a look at this gorgeous beauty. With an all-fiberglass bodyshell, you’d start to think twice if this was a Ferrari, but it is not. It’s a custom designed car which took 3 years to make.
A peek inside this car reveals a single bucket seat with racing harness. According to the designer, this car came into life with circuit racing in mind. But take note of the LTO registration sticker – this car is actually road legal! It was driven under its own power from Laguna to Alabang just to be featured in the Auto Summit 2009 at Festival Mall, Alabang last August 15-23.
Speaking of power, this car’s propulsion comes from a Honda B16A engine mounted behind the cockpit in a mid-engine, rear wheel drive fashion, just like a typical supercar! This is indeed something we’d like to get our hands on and drive on the circuit just to get a feel of how this car handles.
And if you’re curious about how this car will manage handling the curves, the suspension system was also taken from the donor Honda Civic SiR from which the engine came from.
We all know that a supercar has got to have the curves to make the driver look good in every sort of way. So here’s a view of this car’s behind. This is indeed something that people won’t mind seeing even when overtaken by this beauty on the road.
Specifications:
Body: Custom Fiberglass
Engine: Honda B16A
Suspension: Honda Civic

Uma andar ba yan? Panget ng paint scheme!
Yes this is LTO registered and was actually run from the shop in Laguna all the way to the car show at Alabang.
The paint scheme was called “exotic” and actually has a sandpaperish finish. But I’ve spoken with the owner Brian Aurelio (BAR stands for Brian Aurelio Racing), and this car will again be seen in the upcoming Manila Auto Salon at SM Mall of Asia next month, this time with a yellow paint scheme.
Watch out as we cover the Manila Auto Salon here at CustomPinoyRides.com
Uma-andar na yan 2005 pa. May video po yan sa youtube, BAR Prototype or try this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyK6DSSMG3c nung dinaan namin yan sa SLEX, 2AM pa nun wala pa ngang headlights, eksakto pa may 2 PNCC Patrol sa tollgate. Lumapit sa auto habang nagbabayad ako, nako nakakakaba! akala ko huhulihin ako.. lumapit lang pala para sabihin “ganda niyan boss ah!”..
Panget ba ng paint scheme? Hindi bale, Papagandahin natin yan sa susunod na carshow. Salamat!
I saw that car at festival mall. At first I can’t believe it was made by a Filipino. Later when I talk to the owner, he said he made it by himself! Amazing!!!

Sorry ngayon lang ulit ako naka visit dito… please call or text me @ 09277139320
THANK YOU
Ok ah. Meron palang ganyan dito sa Pilipinas. Kaya lang parang rough yung exterior, kaya ba ng ibang color yan? kaya din bang smooth finish?
Yes. In fact, it’s now in Yellow, with a smooth finish!
i think you should put a bigger engine in, try to get a hold of a lancer evolution engine or at least turbo charge the B16A, but i think it be a monster with an Evo 8 engine.
OMG if you can get a hold of an NSX engine…. THAT BE awesome. body nice but a supercar needs power….. how much power are you putting to the wheel….whatever it is try to add another 100 hp. update me pare!
Hmmmm…. (Evil laugh)
Sir Brendan, are you reading this?
As the saying goes… “More power to you!”

Kailangan pa ba ng differential yun ganyang car?
Hi GOOF! Welcome to CustomPinoyRides.com.
Yes kailangan parin ng differential. Otherwise, the rear tires (as it is rear-wheel-drive) on the left and right side would spin at the same time, making turning difficult.
Sir, how much po price ng car?
