JUST BEEN FULLY RECOMMISSIONED, THIS LOTUS CARLTON IS IN STUNNING CONDITION, AND DRIVES LIKE A TYPICAL 90’S SUPER SALOON!
Ahh the 90s. If ever there was a car that captured a moment in time so perfectly it has to be this – the Lotus Carlton. Although it may have been based on the humdrum Vauxhall of the same name, the Lotus engineers of the time transformed the Carlton into the fastest saloon car money could buy.
The standard 3. 0-litre six-cylinder engine was embiggened to 3. 6-litres, with new pistons, connecting rods and a forged steel crankshaft, whilst a pair of giant Garrett turbos were bolted on for good measure – creating a total output of 377bhp that was put through the gearbox from a Corvette ZR-1.
The rear suspension too, was converted to multi-link for better handling and bigger brakes were fitted under those gorgeous Ronal alloys.
Despite all the high-tech upgrades under the skin though, the Carlton’s flared arches and rear-wing hinted at its yobbish nature. The ultimate example of this was its top speed of 176mph, which broke the gentlemen’s agreement held by the German manufacturers to limit the top speed of super-saloons to 155mph. We don’t need to remind you how certain sections of the UK reacted to this top speed back in the day!
