Opel OPC is the performance division, producing high-output turbo versions. Opel shares platforms with Peugeot, Citroen and DS within Stellantis since 2017. Before 2017, Opel shared platforms with Chevrolet and Buick as part of GM. The Citroen petrol range is shared with Peugeot and Opel within Stellantis. High-output Citroen petrol engines are rare, as the focus is on the family segment. PureTech is Citroen's badge for its turbo petrol engines.
