Omega Evolution 500
The Omega Evolution 500 saw first production in 1991 and was Irmscher's answer to the Lotus Carlton/Omega.
The cars were all built in the Irmscher factory and of the 500 built for road use, 463 had modified 3.0 litre 24V engines pushing out around 230bhp. 36 of the cars had the optional 272bhp 4.0 litre Irmscher conversion and one car that was not sold had a prototype 3.6 litre 24V engine. The car also features an Irmscher EVO 500 bodykit and 8 x 18" 10-spoke alloys front and rear.
All of the vehicles were originally manufactured for the German market, however, the cars have now found they way all over Europe including 1 in Finland, 1 in Norway, 2 in Sweden and 2 in the UK. Both of the UK cars are AutobahnStormers members.
The Omega Evolution 500 was also used in the DTM championship in 1991 through to 1993 and was raced by teams sponsored by Opel Works/Irmscher, Commodore Computers, Tura, Dekra, Jägermeister and Cricket by drivers such as Engstler, Niedzwiedz, Strycek, Oberndorfer, Delcourt and Reuter.
