The Lotus Carlton was an extraordinary project that was born out of the enthusiasm of some senior executives at General Motors and Lotus.
Lotus was acquired by GM in 1986, some time after Colin Chapman died, and this project was started in 1988. The original concept was to create a compound-charged (turbo-charged and super-charged) Senator. For whatever reason this idea evolved into the Lotus Carlton, which at the time was the fastest production saloon car in the world.
Only 950 cars were produced, although the original plan was to produce 1100. Of the 950 produced, only 250 came to the UK in RHD layout. The Lotus Carlton hit the streets in September 1990 and was available until early 1994.
Despite the phenomenal performance of these cars, sales were slow with a hefty price tag of £48000.
Note about the colors:
Originaly only sold in Imperial Green.
One specially order in Star Silver by Sir Godfrey Messervy.
One painted Space Grey for Sharman TV Series in 1996.
