The Chevrolet Calibra may look like just another classic coupe, but the truth is that it is much more than that. Launched in the 90s, this car held the title of best aerodynamic coefficient in the world for years, something impressive even by modern standards. If you think that only supercars can achieve this kind of feat, it's time to rethink your concepts.
The Chevrolet Calibra is the definition of timeless design. Its smooth, elegant lines, combined with an impeccable rear end, give the car an aerodynamic look that is both functional and beautiful. The front end, affectionately nicknamed “front end” by fans, has a unique charm, with discreet air intakes and a hood that houses the heart of the car: a 2.0 16-valve engine.
Performance to match
Equipped with 150 horsepower and 20 kgfm of torque at 4.600 rpm, the Chevrolet Calibra is agile and responsive. With a manual transmission, it goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8,5 seconds, showing that it is not only beautiful, but also efficient. Consumption is impressive: 9,8 km/l in the city and 13,3 km/l on the highway, figures achieved thanks to the enviable aerodynamic coefficient of 0,26.
The interior is not left behind
Inside the Chevrolet Calibra, luxury meets functionality. The leather trim and comfortable seats create a premium feel, while details like an on-board computer and sunroof bring modernity. Despite being a 2+2, the rear space is limited, ideal for children or short trips. But let's face it, no one buys a Calibra for the rear space, right?
