Name

The name, which was DeLorean's idea, was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO, the successful race car.

It is an Italian abbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato ("grand tourer homologated"), which means officially certified for racing in the grand tourer class.

But in reality, the Pontiac GTO was never really a certified Grand Tourer race car. Internally, it was initially called the "Grand Tempest Option", one of many automobiles in the Pontiac line up with a 'Grand' in it.

Despite these things, the GTO is one of the fastest cars ever manufactured by Pontiac.

First generation: 1964-67

My dad traded in a 57 Chevy to buy a 67 GTO. Although broken hearted that I never got to drive the Chevy, that GTO was incredible. Dad of the century!!
