1990-1993 Lotus Carlton & Omega - The 90's Most Controversial Car

Описание: The Omega, also known as the Opel Omega in most markets, was a large executive car produced by General Motors from 1986 to 2003. It was the successor to the Opel Rekord and was intended to compete with other European executive cars, offering a balance of performance, comfort, and technology.

The Omega was available in various body styles, including sedan and wagon, and offered a range of engines from more economical four-cylinder options to powerful six-cylinder and V8 engines. The Lotus Carlton was based on the Omega, with extensive modifications by Lotus to improve its performance.

The Lotus Carlton, produced in limited numbers between 1990 and 1992, was a high-performance variant of the Vauxhall Carlton saloon. It was developed by Lotus Engineering, combining the car's practical design with exceptional power.

Powered by a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine, it produced 377 horsepower, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds, a remarkable figure for its time.

The Lotus Carlton's aggressive performance was paired with a refined, luxury-oriented interior and exceptional handling, making it one of the most capable saloon cars of the era. Despite its relatively low production numbers, only 950 units, 320 x Carlton and 630 x Omega.

While the Omega was generally regarded as a solid and reliable family car, the Lotus-tuned Carlton and Omega elevated the model to the level of a high-performance sports sedan. Both cars became iconic in their respective niches for their blend of luxury, practicality, and engineering excellence.
