The Le Mans GTO is a high-performance sports car produced by General Motors under its Pontiac brand. It was first introduced in 1964 as a variant of the Pontiac Tempest model, and it quickly established itself as an icon of American muscle cars.
The name "GTO" stands for "Gran Turismo Omologato", which means "homologated grand tourer". This refers to the car's racing heritage, as it was initially built to qualify for the FIA Group 3 Grand Touring Car category.
The Le Mans GTO was powered by a 6.4-liter V8 engine that produced 325 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. It featured a four-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, and a performance suspension system, which made it a formidable roadster.
The Le Mans GTO achieved remarkable success in motorsport, winning numerous races and championships, including the 1964 and 1965 GT class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Its success helped to solidify the Pontiac brand's reputation as a maker of high-performance vehicles.
Today, the Le Mans GTO is considered one of the most iconic American muscle cars of all time, and it remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Its combination of power, performance, and racing heritage make it a true classic.
