Opel Calibra

The car was first presented in 1998 at trade fair IAA. She was produced during the years 1990 - 1997. This model is based on the structure, introduced a year before, the structure of Opel Vectra, with which she shares the floorboard and suspension. Calibra is disinguished by very good aerodynamics, in a study of this model, the coefficient of air resistance was 0.26.

The sleek coupe with a nice figure, flat lighting and sharply declining surface of the back window, make that, despite the passage of years Calibry appearance does not seem to be outdated. Therefore, on the secondary market for this car is particularly popular among lovers of sports cars and tuning.

All the Calibras are equipped with ABS, driver support, electrically heated mirrors. In addition to new seats, the whole of the interior she inherited from Opel Vectra. Unfortunately, it turned out not to be good for her. Poor quality materials and a total lack of sport "sparkle" reduce the aesthetic value of this model. But Opel managed to make a lot of space for passengers, which rarely occurs to cars of this class. On the seat is sitting comfortably, but a little low. A great advantage is capacious luggage (360 l and 980 l. - having the backrests of the rear couch folded)
