What series does the GT at the back of a BMW represent?
1 Answers
BMW with GT at the back refers to the luxury touring version of BMW's sedan. Below is an introduction about GT: GT originally stands for the Latin term GRANTURISMO, which in English means GRAND TOURER, directly translated as luxury touring car. In ancient Europe when there were no cars, large carriages with spacious compartments were used for long-distance travel. Later, cars appeared, but the mechanical performance and reliability of ordinary cars were far inferior to modern cars, leading to the emergence of some high-powered cars, often denoted by GT. Nowadays, it mostly refers to sports cars, with the GT badge often indicating outstanding performance. GT generally refers to high-performance sports cars, no longer distinguishing between luxury and non-luxury. Moreover, in racing competitions, GT models refer to two-door, two-seater models with a roof, excluding convertible sports cars. Currently, there are two-door models with four or five seats.
