I have read somewhere that the VTR engine has been restricted alot due to the performance being close the the VTS, thus meaning more poeple would buy the VTR to the VTS which Citreon didnt want to happen - hence the restrictions.
Not sure if the story totally true, but that what I read and cant remember for the life of me where I read it!
