We had that discussion already in another thread, lol. I said it depended on if you were referring to the Pontiac or the Ferrari. I do know both.
But, how do you know I just didn't google the answers?

2000 2001, 2002, they made several, but well under 100, they never were a sales success.
If you got laid in VW Bus at Woodstock, this is built for you. 11-14 mpg
Used, they sell for $60K today.

Thanks.
Pretty interesting:
Built on an all new completely undercoated torque tube chassis instead of traditional C channel rails. The NewAire benefits from an extremely lower ride height, thereby lowering the center of gravity and rewarding the driver with superb handling. The ride height is only 13" and actually lowers itself from there.
The next NewAire innovation: Independent 6-wheel air suspension complete with 6-wheel anti-lock brakes.
This coach was more expensive then Newmars own 45' class leading Essex model.
Wish they made something similar today.
But understand why they wouldn't:
The Newaire model of RV that the owner of Newmar hoped would revolutionize the industry, ended up costing over $200,000 new and only a few were ever sold. ...
The cost of developing the Newaire model RV nearly bankrupt the Newmar company and it is reportedly still cursed by both the management and employees of the company.

EDITED: I'll be dang, that's what I get for posting before reading the entire thread!
GTO or "Gran Turismo Omologato," was first used in 1962 with the Ferrari 250, GTO
In the States, Pontiac took the 1964 LeMans and badged it with a 326 ci V8 with upgrades as the Pontiac GTO in 1965.
"GTO" along with "GT" boils down to a grandioso marketing ploy to define an exciting image of one driving something more special than an over powered compact vehicle. Not all higher performance cars were using the designation but did fall into a class for competition in racing as the GT Class. An example in the '60's would have been the Jaguar XKE.
Please, the Tempest LeMans, the 1964 LeMans with the 326 ci V8 got a 4 speed or auto tranny with other upgrades in "65 for the Pontiac GTO, mine was marina blue with blue interior.
