About the Opel Calibra V6 #20 J-J. Lehto ITC 1996 UT Models 1:18

TL;DR: UT Models' 1:18 diecast Opel Calibra V6 reproduces JJ Lehto's #20 car from the 1996 International Touring Car Championship. Lehto, a Formula 1 veteran and 1995 Le Mans winner, drove the factory Opel entry in this Class 1 four-wheel-drive touring car series.

Lehto split his career between grand prix racing and sports cars, and by 1996 he was behind the wheel of Opel's Calibra V6 in the International Touring Car Championship, the series DTM became after 1995.

UT Models' Diecast Calibra for the 1996 ITC Grid

This Calibra shares its underlying casting with UT Models' other 1996 ITC entries, but the #20 livery and sponsor placement are specific to Lehto's car for that season. The Class 1 aero package, wide arches, a deep front splitter, and a rear wing shaped for real downforce, is molded with clean, consistent edges rather than the rounded softness cheaper castings often show. The diecast body carries genuine weight, and the ride height sits appropriately low, matching the actual Class 1 regulations that governed cars like this across DTM and ITC. Wheel design and tire proportions match period touring car photography closely, and the overall presentation captures a car built purely for track performance rather than a road-going Calibra dressed up in stickers.

JJ Lehto's Factory Opel Entry

Lehto is best remembered for his Formula 1 seasons and for co-driving the winning McLaren F1 GTR at Le Mans in 1995, credentials that gave his touring car outings genuine weight among fans following the 1996 ITC season. Driving for Opel put him in a factory seat rather than a privateer entry.

Building a 1996 ITC Season Lineup

Set beside teammates' entries from the same season, this Calibra helps a collector map an entire factory Opel effort across one championship year.
