I don't know if they were the first to coin the phrase but many years ago Ferrari came out with one of the first "GT"'s. Their moniker was an abbreviation of "Gran Tourismo" Something that, at the time was sorta like sport touring. Going long distances at speeds that would keep your heart pumping.

MEDIK is right. GT originally meant "Grand Tourisimo" for the Italian road cars. I could be wrong, but I think that implied 4 seats rather than 2. It was back in the 50's that the term became used, if I remember correctly.
