GT is the acronym of Grang Touring in English, which originally meant the luxury carriage used by nobles when they traveled in the past. It has the meaning of strong power and long-distance travel, and later became synonymous with high-performance sports cars.

GT generally refers to touring car races, and there are many races. Because GT race is about speed, GT has gradually become synonymous with the pursuit of speed, so many manufacturers are willing to mark the words GT on their own sports cars. And some cars have the word GT.

Conceptual origin

Long before there were cars in Europe, big travel was interpreted as the carriage of a large carriage for long-distance travel.

But now, with the continuous evolution and change of the times, the carriage has long been eliminated by the car. In the 1960s, automobiles were generally not qualified for long-distance travel, and their mechanical reliability was very low. As a result, a number of high-performance and high-reliability high-horsepower sports cars have emerged, which are called GT.

The meaning of big station wagon has also become a high-powered car. As long as it can be called GT in the history of human cars, it must not be vulgar. Now GT has been widely called a high-performance sports car, and there is no distinction between luxury and non-luxury.

In the racing world, GT is referred to as a super sports car with high horsepower power output and roof design (convertible sports car can't be regarded as GT racing car), so the Chinese name of GT should probably be called the world's top super sports car.
