- > TITLE: What does GT mean in all these sports models ?
-
- Nothing !
-
- It used to be applied to Ferraris and the like, meaning
- "Gran Turismo", Italian for Grand Touring. Basically something
- you could leap into from your Milan office on a Friday afternoon,
- and hit the Cote D'Azur in a few hours.
-
- When "GT" started appearing on mass production cars, you'll have
- noticed that Ferrari quietly dropped it...
