The Omega was Vauxhall's executive rear-wheel-drive saloon and estate, sold from 1994 to 2003 as the successor to the Carlton and badged Opel Omega B elsewhere. It served widely as a British police motorway car and ministerial transport, and the standard V6 Omega was rebadged as the Cadillac Catera for the US market. A separate low-volume Omega V8 project fitted a Corvette-sourced 5.7-litre engine, but it was cancelled after only a handful of pre-production cars.
The Vauxhall Omega was a large executive saloon and estate sold from 1994 to 2003 as a rebadged Opel Omega. It replaced the Carlton and was a rear-wheel-drive family executive car. Popular with police forces and fleets, it was offered with a broad range of engines including powerful V6 units. A high-performance Omega V8, powered by a Corvette-sourced 5.7-litre LS1, was developed as a Lotus Carlton-style super-saloon but was cancelled after only a small number of pre-production cars.
