A lot of builders made models named Gran Turismo. For the sake of clarity, the OP's 85 Gran Turismo is a Univega brand bike.

My first thought was a French made Gitane "Gran Turismo" from the early 70's (spelled "Tourisme").

Medci made a Gran Turismo in 1985:

Wilier, Bottecchia and Ducati along with a lot of others over the years did too....

OH! That's Gran Torino....
