Don’t kid yourselves…it’s a Holden Commodore HSV.

Not quite sure you want big hairs on your chest Vicky. Reminds me of a holiday with mates to Ibiza some 25 years ago. The friend did the deed with somewhat of a munter, and a few days later she had her baps out around the pool to sunbath. multiple 2" hairs protruding from both nips (hurl up icon insert)

The Vauxhall or Lotus Carlton is to date, the best looking saloon car built, it hammers the Rolls Royce. The 2 that run it closest are virtually identical in the Jaguar V12 or the Daimler Sovereign. I would give it to the Daimler for a slightly more modern looking, front lights and radiator I wanted a self taken pic of the Daimler but never got it. The owner of a shop next door to one we used to use had one but I never had my camera, the day I took my camera, it wasn't there

I would take the Carlton. To this day its my European dream car second only to the 1963 Corvette

The Carlton is mentally and made quite a stir. Unfortunately I didn't hear that about VXR . 90s Carlton please

The Lotus Carlton still looks modern today.

It is so honestly filmed, when you see VIcky casting when doing sideways, and her hair going sideways as well

Would be my dream car if I won the lotto to throw around a race track like that or germany nuringburg and not give a toss if I roofed it. BTW hopefully not lol

my vauxhall senitor 3ltr 24 valve manual would do 160mph 100 % .

......I don't believe VBH has a "hairy chest " but would love to check , just to make sure , obviously 👀👀👀

If you believe on the finished work of Christ you are saved ! Acts 16:29-31 29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” Time to speak the truth. up to the rapture you won't find repent from sin in the Bible. Repent FOR remission of sins is in Acts chapter 2:38 Acts 2:38 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Read the verse carefully, it says Repent and be baptized FOR the forgiveness of sins. Do you get baptized every time you sin???.Peter was speaking to the Jewish people who sacrificed animals for their sin now they had to turn away from that belief and believe Jesus paid for all sin. 1 John 3: 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. How are we born again ? 1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. If you don’t believe on the finished work of Christ because you add works then you are not born again 1 Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Galatians 3:21Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

It’s not really it’s spiritual predecessor

Which is FASTER you will see in a DRAGRACE. On the track you will see driver (PILOT) skills, performance of TYRES, of brakes, of suspension, which are lighter, which have shorten gears/diff even a limited slip... THEN the ENGINE. NEVER track race will show which is FASTEST in real conditions!!

I love how a car with about half the power of an F1 car of the era was outrageous, but even then, the chance of realistically owning one was minuscule. Now any soccermom or salesman with zero driving skill can buy a 3t tractor with a lot more bhp on the never never, amd regularly do, yet nobody bats an eyelid. How times have changed.

I think the Carlton has the edge over the Insignia.

The 'Vauxhall' is a Holden.

The lotus still looks better than the vxr

Fair play the amazing, very rare, and ultra special Lotus Carlton maybe a little bit slower than the newer car, but remember the Carlton is old technology but it’s still up there in the top ten fantastic car list. Lotus Carlton for me all the way

Vauxhall VXR8 with 4x4 is mydream <3

Anglesey?

Oh no, get out of that car and get and do the dishes🤦‍♀️

No point doing this in the wet.

I'd still rather the Carlton

A Lotus Carlton with 18,000 miles is worth £145,000 says it all

give me the Carlton ..... ANY DAY.

for an old car thats astonishing. It kept it's modern counterpart fairly honest. Now , question is, how many miles did the Carlton engine have on the clock as over time and mileage the engine loses horsepower. I dare bet the vxr had significantly less engine mileage than the Charlton.

Tbh I thought the Lotus Carlton would be much slower than only 1.5 seconds off the pace. Well done old girl 👍

A day with Vikki Butler Henderson and a Lotus Carlton sounds just about the best day out ever 😍

4:38 and here we are 15 years later watching this video

The Carlton was and is the original "family" race car, THAT fact can never be beat!

The vxr8 is miles ahead technology wise and a totally diffrent car what does anyone expect however the lotus carlton really held its own against the vxr8 and considering its years old it looks well looked after and really kept up with the vxr8 very well done to the lotus carlton 💚❤👍

Naughty.

She is a good driver

A real Holden Commodore in Vauxhall Clothing made in Australia and marketed in the UK verses The Lotus Carlton , oh yeah that goddamn frankinstiening of an Opel Senator done without Opel's blessing , For us it a naughty to even think of having one of those Carlton in the yard in Australia. Carlton is of course a beer in Australia that also made Fosters for the International market because they can not hack VB (Victoria Bitter) . All we got was a Holden Commodore VP with the ugliest front grill you could muster as to say one ding and they we're toast and the Buick V6 as Holden still could even get their fricken act together at the time. That is the main reason Peter Hanenberger was the main man that got you the lovely Vauxhall VXR8 . Even in 2023 I still would like to see a Carlton here in Australia.

I was fortunate to be involved in this project whilst at Lotus cars Was involved spoilers and trim colour Empire Green Went for a few trips round test track and suppliers a quick and classy car.

Should of driven it in the dry as well would of been less of a battle then to keep on the road

I always liked Vickie as a presenter

I love a bit of Vicki Benson and Hedges. Her giggle when she's being silly in a car is lovely.

Australian made HSV Clubsport R8 more like it. Sent over to the UK and rebadged as a Vauxhall VXR8 😊

Pretty good going for an old girl 😜

How can you compare that lotus to a good Australian v8 . That Australian v8 can come with a supercharger as well

So really many years worth of technology has only put the new car a second or so quicker, not come that far then!! I know which I’d rather have!!

Letting a woman drive. Waste of time

You can take the Carlton, il take the beautiful ls2.❤️

1.5 seconds isn't bad considering the engine is nearly twice the size as the carlton and it was built 15 years after. Stupid comparison really

Full disclosure subscribe 😷👺👹😇✌❤

27/7 22 Identical tyres ? U K Legal limit 70 mph - ideal for commuting around The North Circular !

377 horsepower was monstrous back then. It’s still nothing weak nowadays, and it can definitely keep pace with just about any saloon.

Holden Australia

She's not driving my car😥
