The Opel Calibra, a sleek and sporty coupé, was a product of the German automaker Opel, and was also rebadged as the Vauxhall Calibra in the UK, the Chevrolet Calibra in some South American markets, and the Holden Calibra in Australia. Born in 1990 and produced until 1998, the Calibra was designed to compete with the likes of the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, and the Nissan 240SX. This front-wheel-drive coupé boasted a sharp, aerodynamic body with a drag coefficient of just 0.26, making it one of the most aerodynamic production cars of its time. The Calibra was available in various trim levels, each offering a range of four-cylinder and V6 engine options, with power outputs ranging from 115 to 204 horsepower. It was known for its agile handling, responsive performance, and comfortable interior, making it a popular choice for drivers seeking a stylish and fun-to-drive sports car. Beyond its sporty demeanor, the Opel Calibra offered an impressive level of practicality. The 2+2 seating configuration allowed for occasional rear passenger use, and the hatchback design provided ample cargo space. The Calibra's distinctive styling and unique design features, including its flush-mounted door handles and retractable rear spoiler, helped it stand out from the crowd. The Calibra's success was further bolstered by its impressive safety features. Features such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), driver and passenger airbags, and a sturdy body structure contributed significantly to the Calibra's safety ratings. Although production ceased in 1998, the Opel Calibra remains a cherished classic for enthusiasts, remembered for its unique combination of performance, practicality, and design.
