GT stands for Grand-Touring, where Grand means large, and Touring means travel. Combined, Grand-Touring actually refers to a large touring car. Back in the days when there were no cars in Europe, Grand-Touring referred to the carriage of a large horse-drawn vehicle used for long-distance travel. Here are some related introductions: 1. Excelle: The Excelle XT and Excelle GT are the latest high-end mid-size cars launched in 2010 by the Buick brand of Shanghai General Motors based on the "global platform, European and American technology." 2. The meaning of GT in the racing world: In the racing world, GT refers to supercars with high horsepower output and a roof design, typically two-door, two-seater vehicles (convertibles cannot be considered GT racing cars).
