Citroën is offering £4,400 off the manufacturer's recommended retail price to customers who reserve a high performance 167bhp Xsara VTS Coupe through its website, www.citroen.co.uk.

This special pilot internet offer on the Xsara VTS is available on vehicles reserved before October 31. The VTS Coupe via the internet will cost £11,995 and the cars, which are also available with free insurance, will be delivered to the customer's local Citroën dealer.

The 137mph Xsara VTS comes with ABS brakes, four airbags and an alarm and deadlocks, air conditioning, heat reflective windscreen and radio/CD player, alloy wheels, rear spoiler, integrated foglights and blue tinted indicator lenses.

Alain Favey, Citroën UK managing director, said: "With the internet used predominately by younger people, the sporty Xsara VTS is the ideal car for us to test this pilot internet offer."
