At the rear, a large bumper and chrome tailpipe complete the new look. Inside, there's a leather steering wheel and gearshifter, sports seats and dark grey upholstery.
The VTR can sprint from 0-60mph in less than 10 seconds, yet returns 44mpg economy. Air-conditioning, variable power-steering and a CD player with wheel-mounted control buttons are all fitted as standard. Four airbags, plus ABS with electronic braking assistance, are also included, while traction control is available as an option. The car costs £12,545, but models ordered by 31 January and registered before April qualify for £2,000 cashback.
