Opel Calibra 2.0i 16V, 1996. One owner, 90,464 km, service books
from new.
For decades, the name Opel has been synonymous with solid German
engineering, reliability and forward-thinking design. In the 1990s,
Opel put itself firmly back on the map with a coupe that impressed
both technically and aesthetically: the Opel Calibra.
Introduced in 1989, the Calibra was a revolutionary sight at the
time. With an exceptionally low drag coefficient (just 0.26), it
was one of the most aerodynamic production cars of its era. The
model was built on the Opel Vectra platform, yet gained a
completely distinct, sporty identity of its own. The combination of
clean lines, a low profile and a luxurious finish made the Calibra
a firm favourite among enthusiasts who wanted to blend style with
performance.
The 2.0i 16V version was known for its well-balanced performance:
powerful enough for a spirited drive, yet comfortable and
dependable for everyday use. This engine, paired with a manual
gearbox, delivered a pure and engaging driving experience that
remains highly prized to this day.
The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as
