Anyone else think this would be a great car for Lotus? Vauxhall already have a pretty good base in the form of the VXR... Already had a few ideas how I would like to see it done:

-450-500bhp, I would say that it should be relatively easy to tune out of the V6T engine
-Im fairly certain the Haldex system can be reprogrammed to run more of a permanent rear bias opposed to the front bias in standard form
-Wider arches ala Carlton
-Lotus Evora stlye seats in the front
-Lotus' typically brilliant suspension setup

Et Voila!

I even put my amazing (sarcasm) photoshop skills to the test...

I like it, nice job. For all we know they may be planning just such a thing.

I think, to keep with the philosophy of the Carlton, the interior should be plush rather than more sporty.

Certainly by adding the "Lotus" badge not only will it add style but also appeal.
