The 7 Best Grand Tourers on the Road Right Now
Grand tourers evoke journeys that span nations and even continents, and while any car can take you from A to B, few can match the elegance of a sleek touring coupe that catches the eyes of all as it flies by.
A true grand tourer needs to be fast, of course, but it also needs to be comfortable; you want to arrive at your destination relaxed and refreshed, not worn out from a stiff suspension and race-ready seats. A proper GT also needs to know how to navigate twisty pavement, since the best drives involve the occasional road less traveled; if you just wanted to go straight to your destination, you’d take a plane.
Four doors are two too many; a true GT may have a back seat, but one meant more for occasional use or luggage than regular occupation. And while many grand tourers have convertible variants, those cars worthy of the name must wear hardtops for the right style.
The ranks of these vehicles are not as rich as they once were — storied brands like Porsche, Lamborghini, and Mercedes-Benz have long since abandoned the GT-car market — but those that remain are among some of the best such vehicles to ever roam the roads.
