While the English derivations above are accurate.. I believe it is actually:
Gran Turismo Iniezione

Most correct.
Part I've always found interesting is that the Kraut's at VW decided to steal the GTI moniker from Italian car makers.

Yeppers, Maserati first used the "GTI" nomenclature circa 1960/1961, but VW was the first to use it on the large.
