Description
Year: 1992 Make: Vauxhall Model: Lotus Carlton Registration: J820 UPB
Chassis No: SCC[Phone Number]141 Mileage: 76,941 •: Boasting the last ever Lotus re-worked 2969cc, 24V straight six engine •: Restored to an original yet incredible standard •: Provence dating back to 1992 •: The best Lotus Carlton we have inspected The Lotus Carlton was a Vauxhall Carlton upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177mph sports saloon with acceleration equal to contemporary supercars.
When released, it was the fastest four-door saloon car in the world.
The external differences were minimal with the addition of a rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, a bodykit and considerably wider wheel arches.
The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British Racing Green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black.
Lotus re-worked the 2969cc, 24V straight-six used in the Carlton GSi and bored it out to 3615cc.
