The Opel Calibra made its first appearance in 1989, while the Calibra turbo 4x4 made its debut in March 1992. This car was developed as the world's most aerodynamic production car. The Calibra featured low cW-value of 0.26, ensuring that it featured the best aerodynamics in the world — till today.

The Calibra Turbo utilized a 200 bhp powerplant and could accelerate from 0-60 in less than six and a half seconds. It featured a 4-wheel drive system developed by Vauxhall in partnership with Steyer-Puch-Daimler. Utilising variable viscous coupling and a clutch system, it can dynamically alter the power transmitted to the rear wheels to up to nearly 100%. The maximum torque was with 280 Nm. The Calibra turbo has a 2.0-Liter-16V-Motor (C20LET) that carried 150 KW out (204 HP) with a KKK turbocharger (K16) and an intercooler. Its turbo engine coupled automatic transmission with a 6-Gang-Getriebe and an all-wheel drive. This car has a 6-speed gearbox.

Handling in standard spec is enhanced than most with a stiffer, lower suspension setup resulting in a firmer, yet well balanced, ride. The Calibra turbos differed from other Calibras only in by 16-Zoll-Leichtmetallfelgen (five-hole rims) in special turbo-Design and appropriate signatures on its external appearance.
