GT (Gran Turismo) in automobiles refers to high-performance sports cars, racing cars, and sedans. GT models not only possess powerful performance but also offer excellent ride comfort. Their characteristics include: outstanding performance; two-door configuration; retention of practical cabin functionality with four-seat or 2+2 seating arrangements; luxurious and comfortable interior; and high durability. Currently, GT models can be mainly divided into two categories: GT sports cars and GT sedans. Representative GT models on the market include: Bentley Continental GT, McLaren GT, BMW 5 Series GT, BMW 335i-GT, Nissan GT-R, Mercedes-AMG GT, Volvo Polestar 1 GT, Kodiaq GT, WEY VV7 GT, Buick Excelle GT, MG GT, etc. Taking the Bentley Continental GT as an example, it is equipped with two engines: a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine. The 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine in the Bentley Continental GT delivers 549 horsepower and a maximum torque of 770 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6,000 rpm and its maximum torque between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. GT sedans are generally high-performance versions of regular models, differing in appearance from standard models, offering more space, and being suitable for long-distance driving.
