About the Opel Calibra V6 #21 H-J. Stuck ITC 1996 UT Models 1:18
TL;DR: UT Models' 1:18 diecast Opel Calibra V6 reproduces Hans-Joachim Stuck's #21 car from the 1996 International Touring Car Championship, the series that replaced DTM after its 1995 finale. Diecast construction carries the four-wheel-drive Class 1 Calibra's factory livery and period sponsor graphics.
DTM's rulebook carried straight into 1996 under a new name, International Touring Car Championship, and Opel kept campaigning the Calibra V6 with veteran drivers like Hans-Joachim Stuck behind the wheel.
UT Models' Diecast Calibra from the ITC Grid
The Calibra's Class 1 aerodynamic kit, deep front splitter, flared arches, and a rear wing sized for genuine downforce, is reproduced here with tight, well-defined panel lines rather than the softened edges lower-tier castings sometimes show. Sponsor graphics for the #21 entry sit crisply across the doors and roof, and the diecast body has enough weight to feel like a proper touring car rather than a lightweight toy. UT Models focused heavily on this exact category of European touring and rally cars during the 1990s, and the accuracy of the widened wheel arches and correct ride height reflects that concentrated attention. The overall stance is low, wide, and purposeful, matching photographs of the actual Class 1 Calibra on track.
Hans-Joachim Stuck's #21 Entry in 1996
Stuck built a long career across touring cars, sports car endurance racing, and Formula 1, and by 1996 he was a recognized veteran presence on the ITC grid. Driving Opel's factory-supported Calibra placed him in one of the more technically demanding categories of the era, given the mandatory four-wheel-drive V6 layout every Class 1 car had to run.
Placing a Stuck Livery in a Touring Car Lineup
This entry works well alongside other 1996 ITC Calibras, letting a shelf show how the same chassis appeared under different drivers and sponsor packages that season.
