Lotus Omega vs Swedish police (Very high quality) 

@Ryan Dowsett Mr Downsett, are you just unlucky or did you have to try hard to write that comment? Why on earth would I change the title when this upload is one of the highest quality available for THIS video? Unless you find out a way to remaster the original video at the swedish police office, I will keep the title just the way it is. The gentleman next to you won a cookie for their splendid comment - you sir won the whole friggin box.

@@fyllefinken LMAO dude you destroyed him

Haha well played sir, indeed high quality for its time, i remember before youtube using p2p watching get away in Stockholm and downloading crazy car videos, dodging viruses and some car videos turning out to be porn with the wrong tags,.. Or that could of been just me 😂😂 RU-vid you all have it easy

fyllefinken LMFAO You ended his career 😂

@@fyllefinken LOL you have made him depressed and you have roasted him. 😂

This isn't 40 ra

Lol

No

180mph v6 twin Garrett turbos stock, UK government tried to ban this car....didn't work. Worth about 20k+ now in good condition. Vauxhall's answer to the cossi

Haha nice! Thanks for the translation.

​@@cozmium Now on closer notice it sounds like the co-driver asks the driver "Are we able to stop him?" And the driver awnser after a long pause. "No, He's driving away from us you know"

Svensk polis har i princip aldrig Behövt bry sig om sådant. Man förväntar sig inte att någon har så sinnessjukt att åka med och sen dessutom kan hantera sådant. Det finns många som är bra mycket bättre på att köra bil än Svenska polis.

It didn't. Lotus did.

@@mauriziopescatori4606 lotus did the tuning. It's still Opel

Why not? you just need to get along.

at this time gm owned lotus and opel

@sledgehammer no just shitty cars nobody wants😂

So much happened in those years. GPZ 900 had only 240 kph top speed, so already at 200 it should start to struggle big time. Meanwhile the marginally newer ZX-11R could keep up with the Omega's 283 kph speed (of course humiliating it in Accelation.). Both vehicles are legends for sure. Nothing to match it these days

My ZZR1100 is in the garage and I still ride it weekly waiting to spot a Lotus Carlton on the road and you never know :o). Have not seen one on the road now for many years. @@miljororforsprakpartiet290

Yeah, sooo??

Andreas Lie So. They. Are. Faster. Than. They. Appear. The Police Here In This Video Found That Out

rated at 376/7 bhp by opel. some stock ones have been dynoed at 400+bhp. back in its day this car was a demon in disguise.

and still is i guess..

This car was supposed to go from 0 to 200 km/h and back to 0 in 11 seconds, if I remember correctly.

😂😂😂

yeah, I would have used 7.62x39.

Vilket år var det? Var din chefs Johan? Ifrån videon Open Johan - Motornörd?

@@korkunge Det kan ha varit 2005.. Min chef hette Lennart och har inte varit med i Motornörd

These things standard were extremely capable of seeing off almost anything on the road let alone with exhaust and intake modded and tuned they were and still are to this day a different league

@@korkunge kanske är Johan i videon:) han kändes lite stolt över videon på intervjun

hi vibabino have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

not possible that car would run away from helicopter

@@HORSER9999Quite possible. One thing to, with a helicopter, chase down a car in the middle of a winding road on open fields or hills, but on a long stretch of highway through a forest and traffic the human eye has its limits.

​@@HORSER9999 wrong, search for "dodge hellcat outruns helicopter" it's a chase from LA on a highway, the helicopter can't keep up.

@@HORSER9999 its a fact i believe it was either the M6 or M1 cant remember exactly, but in the early 90s police choppers only had 2hrs of fuel, the story of it "outrunning" choppers was half true, it could catch up but by the time it did the choppers would have to go to base and refuel.

That's the "oficial" top speed, the real speed it's 304 km.

Init🏁🏁🏁🏁

They also used the same 24v CIH engine in the Vauxhall / Opel Senator. It had about 204bhp in standard form. Irmscher also bored the engine out to 4 litres and tuned it to create a fast Irmscher Senator, which looks almost as good as the Lotus Carlton with it's bodykit. The Irmscher senator only had 286bhp compared to the monstrous 380-ish from the Lotus Carlton.

I got the 3000 24v in my late omega. I just loved to see the faces of bimmer drivers when they were restricted to 250kmh while i zoom by over 300kmh. No it wasn't stock.

It was the fastest production saloon car made at the time, I saw one in Birmingham once and it was like someone has pressed the fast forward button on a VCR when it drove off, a fantastic car and still is

especially that it squats down at 120 kph!

RU-vid was started in 2005

@@jrockhardest there are other platforms than youtube but i guess he meant "can't believe it's still here (on the internet)"

@@serz1885 well this car is from 1991 and was the fastest sedan

Pudding900 what this to do with anything

According to news from 2000. (That’s when the video was from). The car was stolen and used in robberies.

@@patricksandeberg8184 it was the registered owner driving it - i happen to know him, car is for sale atm here in Sweden :-)

@@patricksandeberg8184 if it was thieves, they would not use the blinker when overtaking :D also he always waited till there are no cars coming from the opposite side till he started to overtake. it was def the owner of it

@@HORSER9999 its a police car in pursuit. It was on the news later that the car had been stolen and used in robberies. But maybe it was the owner of the car making the robberies. 😉

@@TeamDriftEVO What a pity he never uploaded videos by himself. (I mean videos in which he is filming out of the cocpit.)

well they had plate number. When this boy returned home, there were a couple of cops .... a heavy gas foot correlated with brain cassette.

You remembers this Carlton momemt?

@@exactormortis7433 in sweden (and most places) police cant do shit with the plate number. They might turn up to your house, but unless you confess you were driving, they have no right to do anything.

@@user-wq9mw2xz3j yeah, that's maybe true, and that's what that crazy behavior in traffic is based on. Perhaps the seizure of a crime instrument would help or else a spike stop. Thus, permanent safety risks can be reduced in traffic.

They would have had to follow him incase he wrecked it, they probably kept on that road and at that speed for a long time hoping this guy did not cause someone to panic and get killed.

this was posted in 2013 when 720p was considered HD on RU-vid

@@precesionnoreaster1507 HD is and always will be 720p

It’s different cars - road version of dtm omega is evolution 500

but, they got the cars registration number.

But in sweden they need to see the driver to give them a sentence and they didnt see him here atleast not in the video so seeing the plates doesnt matter :)

In theory he is free to go, after a good deal trouble with the police.

only commenting if its fire konstiga regler men bra

south park

why? they got his registration number.

@@geirmyklebust in sweden it is the driver that is at fault and not the owner and owner dont need by law to tell who drove the car and the driver dont got caught so its a loss for the police.

Here 3/31/21 lol.

Didnt they get the licens plate ? It' should have take 2 weeks Top

ULA BRITA FITTA SMITTA!

try 12 hours from sunrise to sunset up north in Alaska towards the end of winter. a couple feet of snow everywhere, highs in the 20's, lows in the single digits. Dead of winter, -40 or -50 sometimes, 4 hours of daylight. Now that's weird. First year I was stunned!

@@matthewschiebout7384 Some places here in Norway, next door to Sweden, the sun doesn't set in summer and doesn't rise in winter. Like in Alaska, further north than you apparently :-P

In the Scottish Highlands, the sun doesn’t set until after 10pm at the height of summer, and it’s twilight until sunrise, 6 hours later.

Covert Person no they didn’t. They tried too

thats ace man

read pinned comment dumb

Correct.

Now imagine how relatively easy it would have been to make it a bit lighter, tune it up a bit. It could go Hypercar speeds. Legendary car.

Complete bollocks - it wasn't as fast as many sports cars - and when has anyone tried to ban sports cars?

@@pd4165 yeah but for that Time/Era that was Rapid

There’s a lotus Carlton in Britain that was used used for armed robberies it was known as 40RA the uk police had nothing at the time that could catch the car or robbers it even lost a helicopter on the M6 in a straight line they where never caught the car has never been recovered ( to my knowledge ) it’s a big icon in the uk

@@pd4165 It was the fastest production sedan and could easily reach 300 km/h in 5th gear meanwhile it had a 6 speed corvett gearbox. After engine tuneing you could reach 340 km/h which is something crazy even now.

@@pd4165 Lotus took them to testing at Mugello race track, Ferrari Testdrivers complained about it, well they just couldn't keep up, so they banned the Lotus from driving on the track.

🤡

Sush. Jag är inte här.

Jag

Wasnt a stolen one used in like 9 bank robberies never caught them

@@paulg5811 idk if it was stolen but it was a hot getaway vehicle and no cop car could catch it or keep up with it

Police wanting a car banned for being fast? Absolute BS. There have always been fast cars - the police make do with the fastest they can afford, which is never as fast as a proper sports car. There was talk in the press that the LC was a bad idea, but the press also campaigned against Cobras in the 60s.

@@pd4165 the LC 250 brought an end to the 250cc L plate laws coz it was so mental, lol i was a 350lc man. No its true the police did want the lotus carlton banning and some MP's brought the matter up in the house of parliment. I was around when it made the headlines.

@@pd4165 There is truth to attempt to get it banned in the U.K. They were the gold standard of getaway vehicles back then and the police had nothing at all that could touch them. Cross county policing wasn't what it is these days, police helicopters were few and far between and CCTV cameras along the main routes were only just starting to appear. No matter what the rozzers were using to run them down, as soon as one of these things got a clear run on a motorway in the early hours, ten times out ten, they were gone. It wasn't the police themselves, but the ACPO, which was essentially council of chief police officers, who wanted to ban them from the roads. It was pretty well covered in the press at the time, with at least one major newspaper launching a campaign in support of the ACPO's proposal.

its not any "ghost", they got his registration number.

Minus. Ne znaju pacana.

"OH hAHa mY aUdi a4 CAn Go fASteR" shut the fuck up, this was one of the fastest cars at the time, it was faster than the fastest ferrari

Do you notice when this video was posted? It was old by then. 480p was the highest RU-vid supported back then. 140p was still around you know...

+Piktor99 Dude don't comfuse it with the HD 720 or 1080p HQ is this 480 p ..But yet again in those pixels we can have good or bad quality it depends from the prototype video's quality !!

+Piktor99 :) This video is probably older than you, sir and at least 10 years older than RU-vid.

+Piktor99 allmost 7 years old now ...

It is actually SUPER HIGH quality - compared to the same footage but watched on a 14" CRT screen and 240p effective resolution :)

"jävla polis!"
