Radical looking coupe from the image, new Calibra finally LOL.

New Opel concept to have a "ground breaking" powertrain, we'll have to just wait and see...

Yeah, except they are calling this the Monza concept. So still no Calibra. And no plans for production either.

Here's the version of that shot with the Opel badge not photoshopped to Vauxhall:

And a video:

... including a section with the original Monza coupe.

Interesting. All I'd heard so far is RWD, likely Alpha platform...

Was just kidding about the name, a group of us always like to call whatever new coupe Opel are possibly going to make the new Calibra :)

Yes, I'm aware of that. I've even participated in it in the past ;)

From what I've seen so far it looks sexy in an exotic car kinda way.

It seems (coming from the Dutch Opel forums) that they are also preparing for a new Manta;

I never thought I'd say this, and I love the 20" OPC rims, but those rims look shit on that car.
