Ha ha! I had a feeling something like that was involved.

GT means Grand Tourer or Grand Touring. It's a direct translation from the Italian "Grand Tourismo" which was the name Italians used for cars that traveled at high speed over long distances with luxury and comfort.

Ford's Gran Torino was named after a city in Italy called Turin, and came well after they started using the term "GT" on Mustangs.

Funny that, the car was as big as the city. (Nearly) There's a mindblowing car museum in Torino. I couldn't imagine the value of some of them.

Yeah, but he had to fit 7 litre engines after Ferrari thrashed the 5 litres.
