Don't we already have it as the Lotus Carlton?

This and Lotus Carlton was totally different cars.
I think only raw bodyshell and headlights was shared between these two models...

Opel should return into the game with this and some other models with motorsport heritage like calibra dtm, astra gsi, ascona 400 etc
 
Now that Opel has returned to the franchise in GT7, with their Corsa Vision GT, I feel like the Opel Omega 3000 (whether in Evo 500 form or not) would be a great addition to go alongside cars like the Mercedes-Benz 190E, BMW M3 E30, and the Ford Sierra Cosworth that are already in the game. Mainly due to them all being contemporaries in Group A DTM.
Those other cars all exist in the game only as their road versions, but the aero parts you can install for them in GT Auto can turn them into their racing counterparts. I feel that this would be a fitting idea for the Opel Omega too.
Here are a couple of images of the car in its DTM spec, with different aero depending on the year:

Here's a link to the page for the Opel Omega 3000 24v from 1989 (before the Evo 500), the version of the car that the 1st image is based on:

Another contemporary of the Group A DTM era which would also be a great addition is the Audi V8 Quattro, which you can find a few suggestion threads on here:
