Citroën will produce a special Arsenal edition of the forthcoming C4 Cactus in order to let loyal fans express their support of the team. And to cheer them up because it's been eight years, 10 months and 10 days since they last won a trophy. And counting.

Limited to just 11 units and kitted out in the red, blue and gold shades of the Gunners’ iconic crest, the C4 Cactus Arsenal showcases new technology to help the Club’s most dedicated supporters follow their beloved team in comfort and style.

The integrated dashboard console will feature Citroën’s new Geo Organised Away-day Location, Information & Entertainment interface, or G.O.A.L.I.E.

The touchscreen system is preloaded with all of Arsenal’s away fixtures, including directions to the matches, a database of pie and mash vendors and a music playlist of rousing football anthems to sing along to.

"We think Mr Wenger and the team will be delighted with this new special edition. As Official Automotive Partner to Arsenal, Citroën is always looking for new ways of celebrating our relationship," says Citroën spokesman Joe King.

"With the new fan-focused in-car technology, we think this model is pitch-perfect for the dedicated Arsenal supporter.’

The C4 Cactus Arsenal will be available to order from Citroën showrooms worldwide later this year.*

Allocation for Singapore is on a first-come-first-serve basis, according to local importer Cycle&Carriage France. "Better act fast if you want one," says spokesperson Loo How Siao. "This is Gunner sell like hotcakes."
