It seems that maybe the best “car letters” start with G. For me it would GTS, as in Kia Stinger GTS. I mean does it get any better? Bright-ass orange paint, 365 horsepower twin-turbo V6 in a long hatchback body with an AWD system that has a drift mode? And did I mention it all came covered with the best warranty in the business?
We asked readers what they thought the best car letters were. These were their answers.

Carroll Shelby’s Dodge Omni GLH (“officially unofficial for Goes Like Hell”) ... always good at promotion.

As for great letters. My vote is for “SVO”. Ford and Land Rover both used these for some sweet hopped up version of their cars.

GTO for sure. Most iconic. It covers two cars from two manufacturers. Ferrari and Pontiac.

The R/T badge has always tugged at my heart strings. I was happy as hell to see it begin to re-emerge in the early 1990s and continue into today.

GT. Utilized universally, but Ford makes some great lettering with it.

CSL. It doesn’t sound particularly menacing, but it’s only been applied to 2 very cool BMW cars.
