History of the Pontiac GTOPontiac

⚪ First American Muscle Car
The Pontiac GTO spearheaded the American muscle car era. It was a standout among the most critical muscle autos ever constructed, and set the bar for each muscle car that followed.
From Pontiac's racing origins at Daytona Speedweek, to building a vehicle that everybody needed to purchase. This is all that you need to know about the Pontiac GTO, America's most compelling muscle car. |

In 1964, a group of passionate and slightly rebellious men at General Motors' Pontiac Motor Division led by John Z. Delorean built a car that not only launched an entirely new market, but also started an automotive revolution. The car was the Pontiac GTO, and it quickly became a thing of legend.
The GTO is the car that's widely credited as the first true American muscle car, and it was built with a formula that hot rodders and racers had already been using for decades — a bigger engine in a lighter car. |
The GTO was known to have attitude— a greater V8, hood scoops (fake ones), the thunder of double exausts, a Hurst shifter, racy trim and a name stolen from Ferrari. Any Ferrari name either as well as that of what many consider the best Ferrari of all, the 250 GTO.
Those three vaunted letters meant "Gran Turismo Omologato," which deciphered signifies "Grand Touring Homologation." as it were, the Ferrari GTO was created just so that Ferrari could race in a "generation" GT class, which the GTO ruled. |
You've probably seen lots of movies with high-speed car chases. You may even dream of one day driving one of those sleek, high-performance automobiles that can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a matter of seconds.
If so, you've got your sights set on a muscle car. "Muscle car" is actually a term used to describe a wide variety of powerful, high-performance vehicles. While some people have definite opinions about what qualifies as a muscle car and what doesn't, the term usually applies to two-door, rear-wheel-drive, small to midsize cars with large, powerful eight-valve (V8) engines. |
