Because it's an Opel and because I'm fanatic of this car, I just want you share my passion.

There were 238164 Calibra produced in the world between 1990 and 1997. Among this production, there were 11898 Calibra V6 2,5L 24v (C25xe & X25xe) produced between 1994 and 1997 in the world. We know there were only 997 Calibra with "Keke Rosberg Edition" produced in the world and only in Germany and Suiss country with V6, 16v, 16v turbo engine. We don't know how many V6 Keke Rosberg edition be produced
The Calibra Keke Rosberg Edition was produced when Opel was running in DTM championship. There's a plate with Keke Rosberg signature on the ashtray, she's equiped of BBS rims, Opel Motorsport sets, specific seats, Irmsher spoiler and frame etc...

I've one of those 997 models, the 927 number. I've bought in Suiss in april of 2010.  She is 17 years old with 110000 miles today and remained totally original.
I hnow there is a second Calibra V6 Keke Rosberg Edition in France.

I always wanted one of those when I was younger.. got to be the first one I've seen in a while without rusty arches, too (common problem over here - and I imagine anywhere that salt is used.. I presume you just keep yours spotlessly clean at all times   )

Very nice!

Whats the Rosberg connection ? Did he drive one in DTM ? He was one of my favourite F1 drivers back in the day,very brave,aggressive but always fair. Won the title in 82,although he only won one race that year.82 was a very strange year for F1 though.

only the early ones suffered from rust on the arches the late V grill models where much better - although the lip of the bonnet did rust - i fitted a 3.0 lump to mine with a lightened flywheel it was a cool car and went well

i've heard of whale tail spoilers,    but as an over the top aerodynamic modification,  this is taking the piss. 





other than that,   very nice car mate

Looks very much like the DTM versions we had over here

Also very clean.. and I'm trying to figure out which way the trailer is pointing - is it hitched to the back of the Jaguar MkII or just parked behind it?

[Marks DTM Calib]

It was towed by the Jag

   We got a normal V6 manual for my eldest son. found out it had been stage one chipped so up to 190bhp. it gave 35mpg as it optimised everything. Didnt half go well

There's a chap hereabouts who has a very nice 4x4 Turbo DTM.

Never been a big fan of the rebodied Chavalier but the nice ones do look smart

Right, DTM and Rosberg are the same. Only plate signatures are different.

Yes, rusty arches are a real problem for these cars. after 1994 all Calibra have been protected, in fact, intead of two sheets welded to constitute arches, there has been one more wider sheet. But in some countries where there is lots of rain and snow, arches can still rust. So, to preserve my Calibra, I don't drive it when its' raining. It's my second car, I do less 3000 miles  in one year and it's always always clean.
