Volvo/TWR were in their first year with the 850, so they chose the wagon to create some good press while they were inevitably hanging out in the mid pack for a year.
And the roofchop was a Nissan thing IIRC. Volvo had their own controversy later on with those crazy cylinder heads

>>26351873
Damn that looks fucking cool. Really wish we got to see more late model P80s in motorsport. Is this one still FWD?
--- 26356696
This one was going to be the 1997 car, but when the championship was canned, the project was shelved. Not unusual as often manufacturers will try something and then push it to one side, but what we have here is a mind-blowing Calibra that was entirely finished and ready to race aside from a sponsor’s livery. 

But it wasn’t sold on, it wasn’t put out to dealers for demonstration; for some unfathomable reason it was parked in Zakspeed’s private museum and left.
--- 26356697
Barring a few building changes this is where it’s stayed. But just look at it. How could you not want to see what it will do? Details are sparse, stories have probably shifted since Zakspeed built the Opel and all we’re told is that the manufacturer doesn’t want the car to be raced. And this is where that initial question comes back in: just imagine what would happen if it came out and could face the potential rivals. Run a series for ghost racers, just for kicks – how cool would that be? Would it have affected road car sales? Would the sums and technology do their job and win the race? It’s purely hypothetical and will always remain so, but hey I can dream.
--- 26356698
I ask one of the small Zakspeed team who are in the background as I’m left alone to shoot the Calibra if it will race one day. Once again he smiles and neither confirms nor denies it. This is all old, irrelevant technology for Opel – why would they want it wheeled out? To be honest I’m not even sure who completely owns the Calibra. It’s here but does that mean Zakspeed can do what they want with it? Obviously not.

>GTLM
It wasn't replaced, it was just folded because it was no longer sustainable. GT3 cars were already being used as the GTD class in IMSA. 
 
>GTE
See above. The only difference with IMSA was that WEC wasn't already running a GT3-based class yet. Had WEC chose to not adopted GT3 cars, there'd just wouldn't be any GT category at all. 

>GT300
It was already a class filled with different types of cars which already included GT3-homologated cars among other types of non-GT3 cars.

My family owned several ones, the irl car is a tank even if the auto gearbox is less reliable, you can direct swap an 01e 6speed or 5speed manual.they still broke some in racing lul
bmw and mercedes, opel were also amazing cars in that era.

Funny detail.

On this Alfa Romeo 155Ti, it is not an Italian V6 60°.

But a 90° V6 PRV Peugeot-Renault-Volvo. From memory, they replaced the Busso V6, by this one, because they could improve the intake thanks to its 90° angle. And it was mounted on a car of the group, the Lancia Thema V6 PRV, so it was allowed.

This engine has been mounted on Volvo, Renault and Peugeot of grandfather, on the DeLorean, without forgetting in its best versions on Renaullt Alpine A610, Renault Safrane Biturbo, Venturi 400GT...

And like here, in this magnificent version prepared for the Alfa Romeo 155Ti.
480ch at 11900rpm.

He also broke the Le Mans speed record with the WM P88.
405km/h.
