The Holden Calibra was the Australian and New Zealand badging of the Opel Calibra, a three-door hatchback coupe that Opel engineered and built between 1989 and 1997. Styled by the General Motors designer Wayne Cherry and the German designer Erhard Schnell, it used the running gear and chassis of the first generation Opel Vectra and was introduced to belatedly replace the Manta and to counter Japanese sporting coupes. Its slim 7 cm ellipsoid headlamps helped it reach a drag coefficient of 0.26 at its launch on 10 June 1989, making it the most aerodynamic production car in the world. It was front-wheel drive at first, with four wheel drive available from November 1990. In Holden and Chevrolet versions the Opel grille badge was replaced by the V badge used on the Vauxhall.
