It might be this Lotus Carlton is the same car from the famous police chase in Sweden.
The Police tried to stop this car with a Saab turbo......
In that video you can see how fast this Lotus is.

People just look at the prices of used stock E39 M5 and a Lotus Omega. Thank you. If you are lucky you are find some Lotus from 25.000 E, M5 is already from 10 000 E.

how you can compare 377 to 430 hp. But children from bmw are happy they won.

@m5boarddotcom omega 377hp bmw 430 bmw shit car!!!

OMEGA IS THE BEST CAR!!!!!!

@donkmeister Also to be fair, 370 horsepower (or whatever the Carlton had) isn't hard from a 3.6 litre turbocharged engine, not even at the time it was made. It's far harder to make 400 horsepower from a 5 litre naturally aspirated v8. :)

That BMW will never have the 'cult status' the lotus carlton has no matter how much money you pour into it. Theres just something about a lotus carlton that people loved and still do all these years later.

BMW are awesome especially e39 model, surely a future classic, it has alot of street cred and looks good to. the carlton is a vauxhall! and vauxhalls arent hot even with its lotus badge it looks like a grandad car..

Well that wasnt "almost identically". M5 was way faster
For me, Opel won the race (comparing age of cars and power).
Old Opel is awesome!
But these days cars from Opel are crap...
