Pontoac's Gone but the GTO isn't
Thursday, April 08, 2010 4:31 AM


Ferrari 599 GTO

It's the new Goat... well, the new "Capra" anyway. Fast, rare and insanely expensive. Then again you can say the same thing about the coolest musclecars. So in honor of the Dead Indian, we should at the very least show a little respect towards this Italian steed.

Maranello still rules.

Ferrari remains the top of the heap for things sporting automotive. Everyone else can just wish they could ever be this good.

GTO, which really means "Gran Turismo Omologato", which is Italian for "to qualify or qualifying for the Great Race".

that's a gorgeous car... but I still love my Goat.

Just in Japan. There was also a Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO in the 1970's. I have to say that, heresy aside, that Colt car looked pretty badass.

I don't mean to state the obvious, but...there's only so many ways a two-seat front-engined GT car CAN look.
Some will see Viper, some will see Vette, others will see 456 Italia...

doesnt look special to me anyway. but then again, I watch too much Top Gear where I see Italian supercars all the time anyway. I'd take a Porsche 911 Carrera GT3RS over that any day
