Not only, as pointed out, was "Gō" Speed's name (I have seen other Asians named Go, though not necessarily Japanese, but apparently it is a real name), but "go" is also Japanese for the number 5. So I guess it would be "Mack 5, Go Gō! (like "Go Joe", I assume). So the final line of the theme, "Go Speed Racer, Go Spead Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go!", looks both like a nod to the 3 Go's in the original title and to his "real" name being Go.

The M on the car and his helmet, as I noted before stood for Mifune Motors, the family business, and was a type of tribute to Japanese film star Toshiro Mifune. His given name was Gō, and is represented by the yellow letter G embroidered on his short-sleeve blue shirt. There ya have it gang. The G on His Shirt:

Go! Go! Go? I'm reading an article about Speed Racer wow is this film going to pack the theaters. We've all seen the trailers so we kinda know its going to look different from any film we've ever seen. Let me tell you, from what I'm reading I think that's going to be an understatment. The Wachoskis are back and this time there creating a new "bullet time" vfx called "Bubble Technology". It enables for a seemless blend of CGI and live action. This film is allmost 90% CGI and there pushing it in a new direction to create a live-action anime experience. Another term their using to describe the amazing car races is called "Car_fu" with it they hope to capture the zany cartoon look of the original series along with creating a new landscape in motion cinema that the entire family can enjoy. (I call it printing money). Bruce did you give away the answer. Go! Go! Go?
