GT's at the Porsche Museum

Starting today, the Porsche Museum opens a Special Exhibition on Gran Turismo Motoring. Originally the letters GT stood for the concept of “Grand Motoring”, since GT cars used to be relatively comfortable sports cars for long-distance racing. With GT racing being closely related in technical terms to the production of street-legal models, Porsche focused on GT activities from the start as a test lab for series development. The Type 356 A 1500 Carrera GT launched in 1956, for example, is Porsche’s first sports car bearing this characteristic abbreviation. Further outstanding GT models are the Porsche 356 Carrera GTL Abarth and the 904 Carrera GTS presented in a permanent exhibition at the Porsche Museum.
