On this page you will find some of the most extraordinary performance figures for a production car ever published in a UK motoring magazine.
The car that travels this quickly is no mid-engined V12 exotic. In fact, with the exception of the Lamborghini Diablo, we know of no supercar currently made that comes close to matching this car’s all round performance.
But what’s really remarkable is that the subject of this test has four doors, comfortable seats, a full complement of equipment, a big boot and a decent ride.
It’s the Lotus Carlton, all right, and it’s even better than we dared hope.
