GTO = Gran Tourismo Omlogato Italian name actually stolen (borrowed?) from Ferrari.
Gran Turismo Omologato
In the Pontiac GTO, GTO stands for Grand Turismo Osimo. In the Italian language this translates over to Homologated Grand Touring.
i think it stands for opinion
gran torismo omiligoto
gran tourismo omologato--Italian for Grand Touring-Homologated which was supposed to imply that it was an approved GT racer, a suggestion the homologation purists hated.
Omotolago meaning sturdy and able for ling trips
GTO stands for gran torismo omiligoto. the name was originally used by ferarri and deemed worthy of only the best vehicles on the road, so of course pontiac brings out the GTO edition le mans, which became its own line a year later
As you stand in front of the car looking to the right.Look for a white dip stick.
Pontiac, GTO.
Yes and no. The GTO is a Tempest. There are basically 3 cars in that line. The Tempest, the LeMans, and the GTO. Once you option it as a GTO it's no longer a Tempest. It's a GTO.
The Ferrari 250 GTO stands for Gran Turismo Omologato. The Pontiac GTO is named for the Ferrari.
Stolen from the Italian version. Gran Turismo Omologato (G.T.O) means Grand Tourer Homologation, basically a car that has this approved can be entered into racing events such as le mans or stock car racing. A simple car to look at is the ferrari 250 GTO. Also note Le Mans was a Tempest as well. The Tempest could be ordered with the Le Mans package or the GTO package. This was Pontiac's use of racing terms to associate their cars with racing.
