I looked at the wiki and it says this:

A grand tourer (Italian: gran turismo) (GT) is a high-performance luxury automobile designed for long-distance driving. The most common format is a two-door coupé with either a two-seat or a 2+2 arrangement.

Grand tourers differ from standard two-seat sports cars in typically being engineered as larger, and heavier, while emphasizing comfort over straight-out performance or spartan accommodations.

I'm not sure I would class a TVR or Lotus as that myself LOL! Is my Renault Clio a GT car? That's a luxury automobile designed for long distance driving.

I am being tongue in cheek but I am interested to know where the line is drawn.
