Originally named "PS160", MPM renamed its coupe "Erelis" in August 2018.[1] The Erelis was designed as the first model of a range of vehicles developed by MPM Motors in order to offer a sports car at an affordable price. Erelis means eagle in Lithuanian.
The Erelis made its first public appearance at the Paris Motor Show 2018.[2]
Powertrain
During its development and for pre-series models, the MPM PS160 used a single gasoline engine, a 1.6 liter Mitsubishi Orion (4G18S) producing 75 kW (100 hp).[3]
Then, following the signing of an agreement with PSA, it was replaced with 1.2-liter turbocharged PSA Group PureTech 3-cylinder engine producing 96 kW (129 hp) coupled to a 6-speed gearbox, passing under the bar of 150 g / km of CO2.[4][5] This change to the Peugeot-Citroën engine is accompanied by its name change.
