What does it mean when a car is called "GT"?

Question

My brother-in-law laughed at me because I didn't know what a GT was. It's confusing because different car companies make GTs. What is does it mean when a car is called "GT"? What kind of things does it have on it that make it special? Who makes the best GT?

Answer 1

It used to mean Grand Turismo but it has been put on so many cars that are obviously not GT's that the nomenclature is meaningless. Same thing applies to GTO. Only one company ever built a true GTO and that was Enzo Ferrari.

Suitable for cars like the Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari Scaglietti, Bentley Continental GT and cars alike that have a big engine upfront, 2 doors and seats 4 passengers.
