Lotus Omega vs Swedish police (Very high quality)

High quality video clip from the swedish police in pursuit of a speeding Lotus Omega.
Police car is an un-marked Saab 9-3 2.0t and therefore a bit slow.
I do not claim to own the rights to this movie, I just got annoyed that all versions on youtube are either fast-frowarded or in very bad quality.
Although the driver of the Lotus got away in the pursuit, the police later went to his home.

[@fyllefinken]

Okey, let me point out a few things. Do you see when this video was posted? 21st of June 2009. The video was already old at that time. Now compare it to most other reels of this clip that are either sped-up, or in 240p with very low quality encoding. Finally, go play with yourself.

[@fyllefinken]

@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.

[@jaegermeister1968]

the Lotus Omega was an absolute beast in its day. Unfortunately, it was also very prone to defects, especially the clutch was a permanent guest at the mechanic's. I once had contact with a Lotus Omega on the main road. At that time I was driving my Kawasaki GPZ900R and in front of me the Opel which I classified as an Omega 3000. When I tried to easily pass him, it catapulted the Omega away. I had to turn the Kawa into the red zone to catch up again and only then did I see that it was the extremely rare Lotus model. At the next traffic light we nodded to each other.

[@miljororforsprakpartiet290]

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

The Lotus Omega was tested by many car magazines when it was new in 1990. Since many testers saw 300km/h (186mph) on the speedo, the performance of 283km/h (176mph) wasn't just a theoretical top speed which many supercar manufacturers (no names not to offend their fans) still used to brag with. Some of them were even tuned to around 500hp meaning nothing could match them at the time. Since they are rare elsewhere and look inconspicuous they are truly sleeper cars in every sense of the word.

if this video is high quality, 480p then i don't want to know what's low quality...

[@fyllefinken]

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

[@WhiteLion2013]

+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 !!

[@MrD79]

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

[@flonx1463]

+Piktor99 allmost 7 years old now ...

[@pacol1n]

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

Maybe this can be useful for some people... You can drive this amazing beauty on Forza Horizon 5 and it's amazing. I love this legend 💥

[@MrDaishee]

Und alle wegen JP hier ....fuck YEAH

[@harrymanback8827]

What are they driving , a yugo ?

[@illitero]

What Yugo that you know of reaches 120+ mph?

Saab 9-3 2.0T

[@alexandermenck6609]

If they drive a 9-3 2.0T why do they even try?

[@worldwarwill1278]

Earliest know clip of the ghost rider lol.

[@Zirrex1]

rarest video ever, first time saw it mid 00's and it's the best promotional for opel, real rwd opel... not that shit they're making now....

[@Valdakyr]

When your wife tells you Smørrebrød is on the table.

[@BiodegradeableMan]

Yawn, ok so we know the Swedish police do not aggressively chase speeders, they do not use road blocks or radio ahead and they do not use spike sticks. All these vids showing police chasers in Sweden are bollocks, there is zero risk of being caught unless you breakdown or crash!

[@yamahass66]

Stop your lies, they have spike sticks. And also they are trying to stop people.

[@sparrowlt]

In Getaway in stockholm 2 one police car tried to ram them when he came across them head on... missed by a couple of inches acording to Mr.A

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

on these roads, police rarely even drove on them. I the city or on major motorways its much harder to get away. Although now, it's harder on these roads too as there are cameras, so you need a mask

[@mikeyb444]

Now, that's what I call a car! Beautiful to see

[@tanoliam]

lotus Vs volvo Police... lotus Wins....FATALITY !

[@jagkanloggain]

"Police car is an un-marked Saab 9-3 2.0t and therefore a bit slow."

@@kicosger5909 til og med omega 3000 hadde toppfart på 250kmt

[@MDDeGrande1994]

@Kicos Ger Lotus Carlton* (or Vauxhall Lotus Carlton if you will). It's basically a Vauxhall Carlton tuned by Lotus. In rest of the Europe it was known as the Opel Omega and it was a basis for the Australian Holden Commodore.

[@fredrikstrand1606]

Och där försvann lotus Omegan👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dean-does-stuff-81]

UPDATE< The police just caught up with the guy. only took 25 years though hahaha

[@napsternapster402]

haci 5 años que ves to el vedio todabia me encanta hhhh

[@tekk_maniac]

I love the old Lotus Omega!

[@daveabbott]

Back in 92 I went to buy a part from a Vx dealer in the UK and he input the part number incorrectly and priced just one front brake disc for this crazy car. It was £940!

[@dirkdarwin2571]

Legend has it, 5 minutes later he lapped the cop car

[@illitero]

I can't say I'm surprised by the sheer volume of people that watch this video and decide the Saab is slow because a car with more than twice it's power leaves it behind. Even with the fact the on-board readout shows the Saab is doing 120+ mph, people are still going to talk shit haha

[@guarbed8966]

Hello from Russia)

[@guarbed8966]

in Russia the review was done recently on this car

[@heinz490]

3.6 377 bhp against 150 bhp

[@Soulvex]

its not a race, just highlighting the pace of the omega against an average car.

[@WymiataczPlays]

not even average... the saab is a quite good car the ''average'' may be a 120hp car... that saab should have 173bhp if i think right

[@Soulvex]

Wymiatacz Plays its about average these days, sorry.. back then it was above average. still is slightly but not much.

[@hondacr250hrc4]

High quality in 1994

[@sindrerudshaug]

1:27: "Ah, Enterprise beemed him up"

[@frodej6640]

A good example of a reckless police chase. Police are doing 170 when loosing sight of oncoming traffic. If one of the oncoming cars would fail to spot this police, they would have been toast. They got the plates early, and that should be enough. The police have other methods to assume the driver that would yield someone time in jail. The chase is creating a dangerous chase. But I guess it was fun, and thats something too.

[@sergioghostly9590]

Ахаха, Опель просто втопил педальку ))
