The AK Syrena Meluzyna is a concept car developed by Canadian company AK Motor International Corporation, as a modern interpretation of the FSO Syrena.[1][2]

This car was intended to be produced and developed in the FSO SA plants on the basis of an agreement between FSO and AK Motor, ratified in January 2015.[3] Two versions were planned, the AK Syrena Meluzyna[4] and the AK Syrena Ligea.[4] The logo of the Syrena Ligea was designed by Paweł Panczakiewicz, a relative of Stanisław Panczakiewicz, who was the designer of the original Syrena.[5] The Meluzyna was to be a retro-style city car available in several variants, starting with the basic Meluzyna L model equipped with a 3- or 4-cylinder engine, and with a capacity of up to 1.5 liters, built by Dytko Sport (a company specialized in designing and building prototype cars for rally and racing).[6][7] The next model was to have a 2-litre engine. The next version would have had a more powerful 2.5-3 liter engine with all-wheel drive. The exclusive "S" Turbo version was to have a 3-litre turbocharged engine, with production planned at the former Zakład Samochodów Dostawczych plant in Nysa.[8][9] Besides this, a hybrid model was also planned.[10]
