What does GT mean on a car? What does GT mean in a car

The GT is generally referred to as a high-performance sports car.

They are both powerful sports cars with similar shapes – a two-door, four-seater (2+2) hardtop hatchback. This shape is also an important indicator to judge whether it is a GT sports car.

For example, the Ferrari 456GT and the Porsche 928GTS that were discontinued in the early years. However, with the development of automobiles, many cars have no longer pursued extreme sportiness, but a combination of sport and practicality, such as the BMW 5 Series GT just launched, which is already a four-door and five-seater style, but this car is a cross design of GT and touring cars, and the real super GT sports car is still a traditional style, such as Ferrari's 612.

Far back in the days when there were no automobiles in Europe, Grand Touring was a carriage for large horse-drawn carriages used for long journeys. But now, with the continuous evolution and change of the times, horse-drawn carriages have long been eliminated by automobiles.

In the 60s of the 20th century, the car is generally not competent for long-distance travel work, the mechanical reliability is very low, so there is a number of high-performance and high-reliability high-horsepower sports cars, known as GT, and the meaning of grand touring has changed to high-horsepower cars, as long as the history of human cars can be called GT models, it must not be vulgar, and now GT has been widely referred to as a high-performance sports car, and there is no distinction between luxury and non-luxury.

The meaning of high horsepower and high performance, generally with these two letters on the car represents high configuration.

Originally GT is an abbreviation for Grand Touring, which means luxury and Touring. Grand Touring is actually interpreted as a grand tourer.

Now people generally think that GT refers to: Gran Turbo, Turbo is called turbocharging, which is used to increase the horsepower of the car, so the GT in the hearts of the general people means to increase the horsepower.

In the racing world, GT is referred to as a supercar with high horsepower output and a roof design for two-door double people (open-top sports cars cannot be counted as GT cars), so the Chinese name of GT should perhaps be called the world's top supercar.

A common model name suffix

1、coupe

The word coupe is derived from the French coupé, which originally meant "a two-wheeled, four-seater carriage." "With the development of automobiles, the meaning of the word coupe has also changed.

Starting with Mercedes-Benz, many manufacturers have produced 4-door coupes with classic coupe styling (fastback styling), and this model is also called a coupe model. For example, Mercedes-Benz CLS, Audi A7, Volkswagen CC.

2. The letter I of GTI stands for "Fuel Injection", and the engine performance of this technology is more powerful, so GTI has become synonymous with the pursuit of sporty cars.
