[...] In the meanwhile, Lotus announced it will introduce a new mid-market level model in May 2008, as well as a new 4-seater high-performance model in collaboration with Proton – are we going to see a Proton car being tuned up in the style of the Lotus Carlton?

[...] Part of Group Lotus’ plan to turn around in 5 years include producing it’s own sports cars like the Elise and Exige, producing Lotus-branded versions of third party production cars like what they did with the Lotus Carlton as well as engineering consultancy. It needs all of these revenue streams to turn around. Lotus already has engine and chassis engineering deals with 4 Chinese car markers including Nanjing Automobile Corp which owns MG Rover. Lotus also has a deal to manufacture the Tesla Roadster, an electric sports car by American company Tesla Motors. [...]

Lotus Carlton in the US and Lotus Omega in Europe.

Vauxhall Carlton in the US and Opel Omega in Europe

Eh paul… its not the US, its UK

The vauxhall is never sold anywhere except UK. The vauxhall and opel are basically the same cars except for the badge. FYI the normal Opel Omega was sold here in Malaysia in the early 90’s

Well i would love to see a Lotus Gen 2 with 4wd and turbo to bring the fight to the scooby Sti’s…the brits would surely love to get their hands on a “lotus” impreza fighter!!! or a Lotus PRM (perdana replacement model)

I think that they’d avoid Proton like the plague

Paul, I once saw a video of which I suspected, a Lotus Omega, has out ran a Swedish highway patrol. The police tried to give chase, but the Omega was like “lipas kudung” you know. Drop a gear, floor the gas, and whoosh! It dissapeared in just a few seconds. I saw the video like 5 or 6 years ago. I don’t think there was anything called N.O.S back then on a road going saloon. Would you like to see the video?

Since it involves Lotus, I cant help but to wonder what our Waja would be like if Proton gives them the same task to Lotus like what the GM did then? A 350-400hp horsepower Lotus Impian? Im sure from what they did to the Lada’s lousy handling, they can improve the Waja’s way better!

maru: tiff clearly says top gear in the video just before he brings the carlton onto the track.
