Originally named "PS160", MPM renamed its coupe "Erelis" in August 2018.[1] The Erelis is 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, and future models will also be called Eagle in different languages.
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 receives 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 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.
