The Opel Calibra , when it was launched, about 19 years was the best coupe car in the world...it's funny to see that it's giving a hard time to newer cars with more advanced engines, E.C.U. ..etc. it is one of the most aerodynamic cars in the world...personal I think it's a legend car which got into history books and left a strong print in the sport/coupe car class....
My dad owned one...a red one when i was 5. My parents divorced and i moved to another country, i don't see him anymore, but ever since i dreamed about my own Calibra. I will find one and take good care of it, even thought they are nearly extinct.
You can see the back suspension crouch down every time he changes gear! Massive power. I love the shape of those cars as well, they are like the poor mans Porsche. He may be a poor man now after spending all that money modifying his car. Worth every penny!!!
calibra i love it. i have one and this is the last year she run on streets. i feel sorry. but she is old 1993. too beautyfull and race skill make her the best coupe of 90'.cool video.
Over in the UK i believe courtney-sport (i think thats how its spelt) do have upgraded units. But i live in australia, so its hard to get parts over here, there quite rare.
i know had 1 years ago looking to buy another soon but hard to find a good one specially when your looking for one colour north cape purple (like my old turbo)
what I have learn.That the tires need to be warm = better grip. Thats why the do a little burnout just before the race start. They should try to put the horse powers down (then should the car not wheel spin so much) try to put the turbo pressure down.. Sorry for the english !
when you look at the slowmo, you see that when it starts, there is a LOT of wheelspin up to second gear and just a little bit in third until it gets its wheels to grip + the wheelspin causes a lot of heat so the tires lose grip = loss in time at least a second.
@maxxtuningsweden Opel engine..somehow..not exactly,because like i said already,has upgrade (that mean NOT-opel/gm) internals ! Stock piston/conrods/crankshaft, can't keep more than about 300bhp ,and you know better than me that problem;) Cheers !
@oblvr8 calibra's are the best cars in the world ! its the most aerodynamically efficient Opel ever, with a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.26.and the car was made in the 90's ! and the car is easy tuned to 350 hp with little modification.
that's completly true, and that's why I love this car ^^ :) It's a cheap, fast car, with powerful engines ( my fav is C25XE ), which shape is incredible...
poca gente conoce actualmente el potencial de este opel,especialmente el 2.0 16v DOHC y 2.0 16v turbo(280 km/h de serie,6vel,4x4,etc)unidos la mejor aerodinamica de un coche de calle fabricado nunca, la mayoria de los coches de ahora no le llegan ni a la suela en muchos aspectos,aunque se lo compren kinkis; es un pepinazo y ad+ se come a cualquier FR purumpumpero/tirahumos 15 años mas nuevo. CALIBRA RULES.
The Getrag F28/6 Transmission is reletivly strong. The problem with the Calibra's are the Transfer Boxes which deliver the power to the rear wheels. They have a habit of breaking, plus there not cheap to replace. It the only worry if have with my cali
the camera is so shaky, but i love the calibra. I hope i can tune mine to be as good as that one, despite not being in europe where the parts are more common.
Yes, this model ( the C20LET ) is the best, because it has a charged engine... There are many ways, to upgrade it : buy a bigger turbo, increase the turbo-pressure, etc.
yes because they used the same platform (front chassis) as the opel/vauxhall cavalier/vectra a and the vauxhall astra/opel kadett but on calibra/cavalier/vectra a turbos all were built using a 4x4 system designed for those cars done by a transmission company called getrag who were know for there gearboxs etc within rallying/touring car racing fwd was more popular as they were cheaper as no chassis mods were needed or expensive transfer boxes
There is an opel 2.0 engine inside. The 4x4 system is reinforced by ourselves. but this movie is pretty old. now the car is RWD and still the same 2.0 opel engine. but now ~830hp from engine.
Ich saß zwar noch nie in einen Calibra mit 586PS, aber ich bezweifel das es (wie du sagst) nur 400PS sind. Die Kiste hat Allrad-Antrieb und dennoch drehen die Reifen am Start permanent durch... sieht für mich deutlich mehr aus, als "nur" 400PS. Aber dennoch, ob 400 oder 586PS, Calibra ist und bleibt einfach ein geniales Auto!
@sldsaxkihc the record is 1000 bhp from 2.0 not stroked i think the stock block with forged internals can easily take 650 hp there are many examples here
Ich wollte nur Streit anfangen, genau! Du ausgebuffter Fuchs Du! Nur wenn ich meinen Calibra schaue sehe ich viele Teile von Firmen wie "Bosch", etc. Welche Teile meinst du denn?
Als ich ihn das erste mal gesehen habe , dachte ich mir nur UI. Das war vor 10 jahre oder mehr. Heute noch bin ich besessen von Ihm und würde auch gern was investieren damit der ordentlich läuft..(= Cali lohnt ....
That 2.0 litre Vauxhall block can make 300HP without a turbo if it is set up correctly. If you dont believe me, google SBD motorsport and then check out their XE page. I seriously doubt that it would have any problems punching out 560 with a turbo. And 11 seconds is quicker than most V12 Ferrari and Lamborghini models, let alone McMercs and BMW M5's. This thing doesn't even get traction off the line....
always nice to see thise cars :)but common :P who looks at the horse powers? u need a good register to if u want to have a fast car :) and this car got a pretty nice one.
whatever list there is out there(about car reliability) the calibras especially the c20let was not a mass produced car(at least there were not as many as lets say astras or vectras)and they would take u to the end of the world if it was treated right.I had 2of them and I'm sure I'll get another one as soon as I can because a c20let is well worth every cent...
hey edyM3Power. never seen a 4 wheel burnout? take a look at "skyline from hell" haha he smoke his 4 tires with 100 kmh. and i personaly never seen a car take off that fast. btw nice calibra dude :)

i didnt say weak.read more carefully next time.i said he will have major problems with his transmission if the car has better traction.think about it.when you have so much power and too much traction something will break.unless it has a titanium gearbox and 2 kevlar clutches
bei 2.00 minuten sieht du ganz genau dass bei trockenem asphalt die räder sehr wenig durchdrehen. und außerdem ist es ungklug den motor in den begrenzer zu drehen und dann los fahren. kein wunder das da die räder nur am drehen sind! 600ps muss man klug fahren und klug einsetzen!!

Calibra Forever!

This was my dream car when i was young, still it is...😤😭...
Calibra C20let 4x4 ❤️ the engine have big potential
Calibra,the best car ever,that Opel made it.....
Amo este video, que veía cuando era adolescente 😍

Still love this video 💪
It´s a german car...
1990-1997
I have 2 opel Calibra in my garage.
i love the noise it makes when it pulls off in first sounds mad
wow, 4 wheels burnout is quite impressive...
what did you modify in transmission box?
Over in the UK i believe courtney-sport (i think thats how its spelt) do have upgraded units. But i live in australia, so its hard to get parts over here, there quite rare.
i know had 1 years ago looking to buy another soon but hard to find a good one specially when your looking for one colour north cape purple (like my old turbo)
bad ass second fastest cali ive seen. really cool car mate!
Immer wieder schön was damals schon ging.😉
Damn, i love this car its so powerful
what I have learn.That the tires need to be warm = better grip. Thats why the do a little burnout just before the race start. They should try to put the horse powers down (then should the car not wheel spin so much) try to put the turbo pressure down.. Sorry for the english !
Opel RULES !
@danilacetti: With a 50:50 distribution you'll just smoke the front tyres. 15-20 % will get you the highest benefit.
Damn, the car takes off pretty good
2 years since this was posted, any new ones?
when you look at the slowmo, you see that when it starts, there is a LOT of wheelspin up to second gear and just a little bit in third until it gets its wheels to grip + the wheelspin causes a lot of heat so the tires lose grip = loss in time at least a second.

What kind of gearbox do they have ? What kind of 4wheel drive ?
Definitely not the stock F28 one. :)
Sublime,Calibra powaaaah
that's completly true, and that's why I love this car ^^ :)

the second you mean, dont forget the lotus omega ;)
nice sounding monster....i'm waiting for the new videos to come :)
Is that the swedish Saab 9-3 with around 8OOhp that was covered in several magazines?
Beautiful Cali, the best model from Opel Cupe
this is the kind of car that GM needs to bring to the U.S,I always new their european wing built these kind of cars.
The Getrag F28/6 Transmission is reletivly strong. The problem with the Calibra's are the Transfer Boxes which deliver the power to the rear wheels. They have a habit of breaking, plus there not cheap to replace. It the only worry if have with my cali
the camera is so shaky, but i love the calibra. I hope i can tune mine to be as good as that one, despite not being in europe where the parts are more common.
I LOVE THE CALIBRA IT IS SO QUICK :D
The Opel Vectra is the " Calibra sedan " ! ;) :D
which turbo charger you have?and if you know how it will work with t3/t4 turbo charger?
Is that Opel runs on the original f28 and transfer box I wonder...
Opel Calibra is nice car....
And 2:15 song ist beautiful
the silver saab looks nice...(rally epic)
-same also with the red quattro...
*but calibra is nice too in DTM livery (if only available) =P
Yes, this model ( the C20LET ) is the best, because it has a charged engine... There are many ways, to upgrade it : buy a bigger turbo, increase the turbo-pressure, etc.
I love Calibras too... Which engine you got in it ? 2-2.5 litres, stock, or other ?
yes because they used the same platform (front chassis) as the opel/vauxhall cavalier/vectra a and the vauxhall astra/opel kadett but on calibra/cavalier/vectra a turbos all were built using a 4x4 system designed for those cars done by a transmission company called getrag who were know for there gearboxs etc within rallying/touring car racing fwd was more popular as they were cheaper as no chassis mods were needed or expensive transfer boxes

opel calibra is the most aerodynamic street car...i like this calibra 5*
^The best calibra i ever seen. Great car!
WOW! Wicked Calibra! Like it a lot.

one thing i don't understand. That Saab 9-3 has approx 800 HP, and AWD. How could this car beat it with 568 hps??
always nice to see thise cars :)but common :P who looks at the horse powers? u need a good register to if u want to have a fast car :) and this car got a pretty nice one.

i didnt say weak.read more carefully next time.i said he will have major problems with his transmission if the car has better traction.think about it.when you have so much power and too much traction something will break.unless it has a titanium gearbox and 2 kevlar clutches
bei 2.00 minuten sieht du ganz genau dass bei trockenem asphalt die räder sehr wenig durchdrehen.
und außerdem ist es ungklug den motor in den begrenzer zu drehen und dann los fahren. kein wunder das da die räder nur am drehen sind!
600ps muss man klug fahren und klug einsetzen!!
what is that saab at 1:06
Thiago Lelis saab 9-3
the saab is beautiful
da hamma
geil sound beim anfahren
