Lotus carlton?

 

a lotus omega?

 

hmm i changed the topic title cos i didnt realise the name of the car was in the link!!

shifts though dont it!!

 

you mean lotus omega

 

i stand corrected, it is a lotus carlton

 

A Lotus Omega is the LHD version of the Carlton and thats vid is in KMH , still leaves them for fookin dust though

 

a small piece of this video is used in the trailers of getaway on stockholm 2

 

170+mph from standard so not to surprised

 

helps when youve got a cop car that takes 3days to get to 120mph chasing you

 

yeah i just noticed how slow the KMH thing goes up, in most cars over 1.4cc it will go up quicker than that!

 

Not that one,but i raced one the other day,and they are fookin fast

 

been many posts on this car and ther fookin awsome twin turbo

Shit hot motors like was said, Omega is a carlton on the continent, same as a corsa A there is a Nova here

Wouldn't liek to own one, the bills for repairs and spares apparently are through the roof.

 

Yeah Ł300 for front pads

Plus many parts are now obselete

 

same as an evo and a focus rs then

 

Haha yeah, but what the silly sods don't realise is that they could just upgrade the brakes to aftermarket items.

Funny though, how anyone who owns an LC ALWAYS keeps it standard! Why? It costs more to keep it standard.

 

Yeah but those two arn't seeing the sharp end of 20 years old are they plus i'm sure they are much much better than the standard LC ones

 

Some kind of respect for the car i guess. But you're right upgrading would save a lot of hassle

 

There woz 3 of these goin round together at TRAX last year, 2 of em very quickly.
But then again so were the 4x4 cossie boys

 

THERE IS ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TOWN WHEREI LIVE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO ENGINE ADVANTAGES

 

Gotta respect the LC friend of mine has the Omega LHD version and that's standard but bloody shifts. 1,300 rpm in 6th gear at 70mph!!!

 

sweet motors them

 

The Lotus Carlton was at its time as fast as a Ferrari Testarossa. It was really awesome. Many people complained about its too high top speed and speed in general. But I think all those who like the Sierra Cosworth (not the 3dr) like the Carlton because the look is really similar, and it has the same spirit.

But 160 more bhp
