I have corrected the acceleration numbers to the one that sportauto tested in the early 90´s and renamed it in Opel/Vauxhall Omega/Carlton.. both cars are absloutly identical based on the Opel Omega A beefed up by Lotus.. sold under both brands. The largest part of the production was sold as Lotus Opel Omega. The car still ranks in the top 10 of the fastest production 4 door saloons of all time.

a new 2010 version would be nice for lotus. im thinkin somewhat of bout 450 hp in a new model if they ever decieded to bring it back..lol but damn that sure is fast for the 90's...specialy for a sedan/saloon..

Wads 18/03/08, 11:39:21
Well it is back already in the form of the Vauxhall/Opel/Holden VXR8

riice 18/03/08, 11:53:30

Rice don't be liar. You use several different nicknames (importer23, finder65, Skizz) and that's not allowed.

I recall drooling over this car when I was a kid. That kind of performance for a four door sedan was unheard of back in 89. That was the time before the NSX, and (probably) the fastest car from Japan at that time was a Mazda FC Turbo II with a 0-60 time of 6.5s...LOL.

^^ I meant in North America, as the R32 was not sold in NA.
