C2 this manual VTS

CITROEN has added a VTS version of its C2 compact car, which is priced from $23,990 – $2000 above the VTR version – and features 10kW more power from its (now 90kW at 6500rpm) 1.6-litre engine and revised gearing for the five-speed manual gearbox.

Torque is down from 147Nm at 4000rpm to 143Nm at 3750rpm, however the increased power packs a significant punch from 0-100km/h, which is down from a claimed 10.9 to 8.3 seconds.

Fuel consumption figures rise slightly from 6.3 to 6.9L/100km.

Standard features include four airbags, ABS brakes, a trip computer, front and rear foglights and 16-inch alloy wheels with low-profile 45-series rubber.
