Launch and Production Span
The Calibra was introduced in 1989 and was engineered and produced by Opel from 1989 through 1997. While production ended in 1997, the car continued to be sold in the United Kingdom and other markets until 1999.
Cavalier Roots with a Low‑Drag Design
Vauxhall built the Calibra on the ordinary Mk3 Cavalier platform, but gave it a dramatically pared‑down profile and sleek body panels. This design focus resulted in a notably low drag coefficient for its class, emphasizing aerodynamic efficiency.
Engine Variety and Growing Rarity
The Calibra was offered with several engines, including a 2.0‑litre inline‑four, a 2.5‑litre V6, and a 2.0‑litre turbocharged four‑wheel‑drive version. Today, the model is increasingly scarce, with only a handful of 2.0 8V examples remaining on the road and just a few believed to exist in the United States.
