The Autobahn Cruisers: 20 Coolest German Muscle Cars

  1. Opel Omega Lotus

Based on the standard late ’80s Opel Omega, this was a Lotus-tuned special edition model. They equipped it with a 3.6-liter turbocharged engine producing massive 377 horsepower. It came with a six-speed manual gearbox straight from the Corvette ZR-1.

From the outside, the Lotus Omega looked standard with just a few badges and rear spoiler to reveal its true nature. The performance was outstanding with 0 to 60 mph times of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of over 170 mph. Even today, this 28-year old car can outrun many modern performance models.
