The VTS is set to be reborn! Following the lukewarm VTR and lightweight GT, Auto Express can reveal that the iconic VTS badge will be revived during the first half of next year and be worn by Citroen's new C2 hot hatch flagship.
The VTS, which is likely to come with a full bodykit as standard, will be powered by a tweaked version of the C2's existing 1.6-litre 16-valve four-cylinder petrol engine, but the output will be increased to 125bhp - 15bhp more than the VTR. Performance will be enhanced further by the five-speed manual gearbox, which has been chosen instead of the VTR's standard SensoDrive paddleshift system. Engineers decided on a conventional manual as the SensoDrive is already at its peak power rating in the VTR. The VTS is expected to cost between £12,500 and £13,500.
