Here are nine cars called 'GT'... that aren't really GT cars
Raise your hand if you’ve spotted a “GT” badge and pictured Riviera cruising, only to find a track beast? Same here. The Porsche Carrera GT has a Le Mans-derived V10, manual gearbox, and spikey handling—its boot fits roof panels, not weekend bags. McLaren GT has luxury touches but is still a 200mph mid-engined V8. Ford GT is a race car for the road, far from a cruiser. Even small ones like VW Polo BlueGT and Toyota GT86 lean sporty, not grand tour. Have you been tricked by a GT badge, or prefer these track-focused ones over laid-back cruisers? Let’s chat!
