About the Opel Calibra V6 #2 K. Rosberg Bye Bye DTM 1995 UT Models 1:18
TL;DR: UT Models' 1:18 diecast Opel Calibra V6 reproduces Keke Rosberg's #2 car in the Bye Bye DTM livery, run at the 1995 season finale before the championship was rebranded ITC for 1996. Diecast construction carries the farewell graphics that marked the end of DTM's original era.
1995 closed out DTM as it had existed since the late 1980s, and several teams marked the occasion with special farewell liveries at the final round. Rosberg's Opel Calibra carried the Bye Bye DTM script.
UT Models' Diecast Calibra from DTM's Final Season
UT Models built a reputation in the 1990s specifically around touring car and rally subjects, and this Calibra shows that focus in how carefully the aerodynamic package is reproduced. The Class 1 regulations of the era demanded aggressive front splitters and rear wings on a V6-powered chassis, and the diecast captures those shapes with tight, consistent panel lines around the widened wheel arches. The farewell "Bye Bye DTM" script sits legibly across the bodywork rather than blurring into the surrounding sponsor decals, an important detail on a car whose entire appeal for a collector rests on that specific, one-off graphic. Wheel design matches the period-correct touring car pattern, and the overall stance sits low and wide, true to a Class 1 racer rather than a road-going Calibra.
Keke Rosberg and the Bye Bye DTM Livery
Rosberg, the 1982 Formula 1 World Champion, moved into team ownership and touring car racing after his grand prix career, running Opel entries through Team Rosberg. The farewell livery run at DTM's final 1995 round gave several drivers, Rosberg among them, a genuine send-off moment before the championship rebranded as ITC the following season.
An End-of-Era Piece for a Touring Car Timeline
Placed at the close of a DTM-themed shelf, this Calibra marks a genuine turning point rather than just another season entry.
