The rubber seals, body trims and badges are all in great shape, and it retains the correct squared-off twin exhaust tailpipes. It sits on the original 17-inch five-spoke Ronal alloy wheels, which present very well. The upholstery is all the original Connolly leather that was fitted at the Lotus factory and in excellent order.

The Lotus Carlton was introduced in 1990 and featured a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine. This engine was based on the Opel Omega's unit but heavily modified by Lotus to produce significantly more power. The power output was rated at around 377 horsepower (281 kW) and 419 lb-ft (568 Nm) of torque.
The Lotus Carlton was famously quick for its time, with a top speed of 176 mph (283 km/h) & could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in just 5.1 seconds. The car was equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, which contributed to its sporty and engaging driving experience. Lotus made several enhancements to the suspension and chassis to handle the increased power and improve handling, it also featured uprated brakes, stiffer springs, and recalibrated dampers compared to the standard Omega.
Visually, the Lotus Carlton was discreet and understated, with subtle design cues hinting at its high-performance nature. It featured wider wheel arches to accommodate larger wheels and tires, but otherwise maintained a relatively low-key appearance.
The Lotus Carlton remains a standout model in automotive history, showcasing the capabilities of both Lotus Cars and the engineering prowess of GM's European divisions.
