That police car was travelling over 200km/h so that Omega has some pace. Nice vid.

If I am not wrong swedish police wanted to ban this car from roads because of its speed.

You are wrong. In the TG segment where Tiff tests it some comedian mentions that "Westminster Abbey gonna have to bann this car". Think it had something to do with the fact that the brittish police had just purchased the Opel Senator.

^^ I read it somewhere but I couldn't find it I'm sure swedish police wanted to ban it. Does someone knows which countries roads in the video?

Swedish country roads. There were faster cars than the Lotus Omega back in the day in Sweden and I don't recall any debates about banning them just for being fast. I recomend you to watch the TG-feature.

SON OF A.....hahaha!

I think the video has been sped up. If not, the "slower" version is better:


You can see the Omega squat just before it launches on the coppers....awesome!

I think this was one of the first car videos I saw on the computer. Back before I knew what an Omega was...

EDIT: While we're on the topic of classic getaway vids...the M5:
