You need a Grand Tourer.
Designed to cruise effortlessly across countries, these marques are equally happy on the Autobahn or a winding Alpine road.
Here are our Top 5 Grand Tourers
Aston Martin DB9
Find your inner James Bond in this V12 bullet train. The Aston will get you to Monaco fast, in a uniquely British style. Just avoid any potholes as the ride is firm to say the least.
Fuel capacity – 78 litres
Prices start at £33k.
Bentley Continental GT
The Continental has a thunderous W12 engine upfront and it needs it; the big bruiser tips the scales well over 2 metric tons. Add BP shares to your portfolio before your trip to offset those fuel costs.
Fuel capacity – 90 litres
Prices start from £26k.
Ferrari F12berlinetta
Find new lows in fuel economy with the F12’s lightning performance. Its stop start system seems like an exercise in futility as soon as you leave the traffic lights. A price worth paying, because its naturally aspirated performance is unrivalled.
Fuel capacity – 92 litres
Don’t expect much change from £200k.
Maserati GranTurismo
Undeniably gorgeous, the GranTurismo shares the same V8 engine platform as the Ferrari 430 and 458. It can also ferry 4 adults along for that fantastic soundtrack.
Fuel capacity – 86 litres
Prices start from £33k.
Nissan GTR
Unphased by brand snobbery? Then the GTR is the car for you. An exercise in technical wizardry, its performance flatters even the most novice of drivers. With just a 3.8-litre V6 upfront, you’ll also be stopping less for fuel.
Fuel capacity – 71 litres
Prices start from £32k.
