According to Jim Wangers... (and best I can remember from the seminar) The marketing people were looking to make a word from the initials GTO. The letter "A" appealed and was added to create a word from the Abbreviation of Grand Turismo Omologato. He then went on a long explanation of the meaning of Omologato. The adding of the letter "A" in the configuration of the letters.. spelled Goat. The name appealed. So the name Goat was born.

After his seminar I was chatting with him and told him many think the name Goat came from Gas Tires and Oil. He laughed and said noooo. I told him well now I know. He set the record straight.
