ibi I As the title goes.... I am wondering, what does GT-R stand for? I see GT being used by many vehicle in their models, so was curious to know what does it stand for. And for Skyline, they used GT-R, so wanted to know what GT and GT-R stands for. Thankyou in advance, -Ibi. #1 · Nov 27, 2005 As the title goes.... I am wondering, what does GT-R stand for?

Thankyou in advance, -Ibi. Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions #2 · Nov 27, 2005 GT is generally accepted as being the abbreviation of Gran Turismo. Hence why the name "GTi" tends to have a small "i" - Gran Turismo injection. At least, that's what I understand. Nissan made the Sunny GTI, nicking the GTI name. They then rally-homologated it so added the R at the end to make it a GTI-R. But as for the GT-R....dunno really. There are alot of cars out there with letters in their name/model spec which mean naff all. "SX" "GLX" "GLXi" etc. etc. I suspect the GT-R moniker was intended to convey that it was a GT car and that the R may have been for "Race", "Racing" or similar. #3 · Nov 27, 2005 In English, "Grand Touring Race" isn't in? #4 · Nov 27, 2005 I guess GT-R then stands for "Gran Turismo - Racing" And what about GT-T? and GT-S? of Skyline? #5 · Nov 27, 2005 Again, I think what you're seeing is the use of the traditional GT moniker with the different models just getting a different letter(s) after that, whether it be S, S-T, T, or R - doubt any of them stand for anything in particular. #6 · Nov 27, 2005 Pretty sure that it is Gran Turismo Racing #7 · Nov 27, 2005 Jim27, I guess the GT-R and others of Skyline do stand for something. I guess this is what they stand for, I was'nt sure so I asked on here seeing that is a GTR forum. I think they stand for... GT-R = Gran Turismo - Racing. GTS = Gran Turismo Sedan or Gran Touring Sedan!? :S GTT = Gran Turismo Touring. What do you all think? #11 · Dec 23, 2020 GTS cant mean that because there were both GTS Coupe's and Sedans 0 Reply #8 · Nov 27, 2005 Well there is a GT-St4 (think thats the name) the R32 with the gt-s engine but 4 wheel drive. But i think it is the widely used GT with the endings to identify the models, engines, etc. #9 · Nov 27, 2005 gts = gran turismo sport gtt = gran turismo turbo my guess anyway! #10 · Nov 27, 2005 mmm GTS-T Gran Turismo sport Turbo ?? Who cares, they are all great, which ever one you have. #12 · Dec 23, 2020 Holy thread resurrection batman! #13 · Dec 23, 2020 " Got Thrust.... Ready!!! " ------GT-R.. Insert Quotes Post Reply
