The Opel Calibra hasn’t been in showrooms for almost a decade, but with the unveiling of the Opel GTC concept car there’s hope that the Euro coupe may make a return. Though it’s yet to be confirmed for production, a spokesman from Opel revealed that management is keeping its options open and that there is a gap in the market left by the demise of the Monaro coupe.

Engine choices would remain the same as the four-door Vectra replacement, which means there’ll be three petrol variants ranging from 1.6L to a 2.8L V6 flagship. According to AutoExpress, there’ll be several diesel options including a high-performance turbo version and new ecoFLEX biofuel models should the car be given the green-light.

The four-door production version of the GTC is due to hit showrooms by the middle of next year, and is expected to be followed by the arrival of an estate variant in 2009. Beyond that, the path is open for the new Calibra sports coupe to roll in.

I cannot tell you how much i hate the old Calibra, in my town, there's no single Calibra that it's not riced out! And the drivers are machos; you know one hand out, Tom Cruise from Top Gun sunglasses, and music of thousands watts... NOT!

IMHO, the Opel Calibra looks really nice. However, as you said TycoonGTR, most Calibras are riced out and they totally suck. The GTC concept looks really promising and hopefully it will go into production in the near future.

I remember the original, it was a great looking car for its time. If they bring this here as a Saturn it will be my daily driver!

If this is a Monaro replacement I think it needs more than a V6, go on put the V8 from the Z06 in there, you know you want to Opel!

If it looks like that, I can see them selling!
