Grand-touring cars have historically occupied a space somewhere in between luxury sedans and sports cars. The traditional definition refers to a two-door coupe or convertible with a powerful engine, elegant styling, and a luxurious four-seat interior. They're meant for grand touring: in other words, traveling long distances in supreme speed and comfort. While today's best grand tourers have expanded the classical format somewhat, they still aim to provide the best of what the car world has to offer. That means you get the greatest luxury, the highest performance, and the most beautiful styling. Here are some of the greatest new GT cars out there, listed in order of least to most expensive.

The Mustang has come a long way from its crude muscle car beginnings. It's a truly fun car to drive in all environments, whether it be the track, the drag strip, or the street. And because it has four seats, you don't have to compromise much. Here's a brand-new one you can own right now.
Chevrolet Corvette
On the surface, you might not think the Corvette would make for a good GT car. It has just two seats, and sports-car focus. But really, thanks to comfortable magnetic ride suspension, a massive trunk, and torquey V-8, it's great on long trips. This one's up for bidding on eBay.
The Continental GT is all-new for 2019, with a restyled body and a 626-horsepower W-12 engine, or a 550-hp V-8. It looks great, and drives as well as you'd expect. This used example is barely broken-in, and you can own it today.
Base price: $224,400
Previously called the McLaren GT, this is named appropriately, as it's one of the most comfort-minded cars to come out of Woking. There's ample luggage space, a more compliant suspension, and a new infotainment system to make sure occupants are as satisfied as possible. Here's one with just 44 miles on the clock for sale now.
The RS 7 isn't exactly a two-door coupe, but its grand touring intentions are just as pure as any other car on this list. It provides massive power paired with loads of tech and comfort features, plus an all-wheel drive system than can get you through pretty much anything. And it looks cool as hell.
Of course, the 911 has always been a great all-rounder worthy of being on this list. It's comfortable enough to drive everyday, supremely luxurious, and plenty capable around your favorite back road. Here's a used 2020 model up for grabs on eBay now.
The GranTurismo has been around for more than a decade, nearly unchanged from when it first hit showrooms in 2007. With a Ferrari-designed V-8 and stellar looks, it remains one of the most stylish new cars you can own. Over 10 years later, it's still being built, and the refreshed models look great. If you're willing to brave the maintenance costs, older models can now be had for under $30,000.
For decades, the Mercedes SL has occupied a corner in the company's lineup as a two-seater GT perfect for long drives and top-down fun. Nowadays, cars like the S-Class convertible and AMG GT convertible offer similar top-down joy, but we still love the SL. This AMG SL63 has just 8100 miles on the clock, and it can be yours.
For grand-touring purposes, we think the M850i xDrive is the sweet spot in the new 8-Series lineup. It might not be as outright capable as the M8, but the blend of performance and luxury makes it perfectly suited for long-distance travel. This one has just under 17,000 miles on the clock, and it can be yours.
Lexus LC500
Though the LC500 uses Lexus's 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V-8, it's designed to be an all-around daily driver with a goal of comfort and satisfaction behind the wheel. The result is one of Lexus's best cars ever. Here's a beautiful blue model you can own now.
