Thanks, I saw an SM with that had thin stripe whitewall tires I thought looked alright. 

My pleasure.

 

Yeah I saw a photo of one and it does.

I might change the primary paint from worn white to something else though.

Ooooh that's a tough one

Bought one on my second character last night since it was on sale.

Hate to bump another topic but had a bit of fun finally shooting all of my cars today And grand tourers are probably the most common type of car I own. So here are my favorites:

 

 

 

 

I spent a lot of time with these two today, probably my favorite cars in the game. The Paragon feels like more of a do all vehicle. It cruises well, looks good but also has surprisingly great performance and handling without compromising on that ultimate luxury car feel. Meanwhile, after flexing a bit in that car, I hopped in the Windsor and it's just like money. It can go, but it's so light and airy and floaty. And glitzy. And that rose gold says it all, excess and wealth and style.

 

 

As you can see there's another Paragon. And I have another. It's green.

 

But onto some more exotic grand tourers from Italy.

 

 

 

The Italians combine a little more flair and performance with some focus on luxury. They're a little more what the original idea of a grand tourer was to be, a do-it-all car. Essentially "super" cars that were comfortable and stylish and those were typically front-engined as well. So I typically drive these differently than the British combo above. They're for a more upbeat mood but still for a more laid-back vibe compared to driving something like an Emerus.

 

 

The Germans know how to do it too (and technically they have a hand in pretty much most British luxury cars these days as well ).

 

 

 

These are more in between. Brasher than the Brits, but not as exotic or hardcore as the Italians. It's a nice sweet spot but I did something based on the Mercedes-AMG GT R to get it a little more edge.

 

 

And then we have the more classic style grand tourers. Slightly less, erm, luxurious by today's standards but still the epitome of grand tourers.

 

 

And then my newest acquisition, the older Zion. It screams 80's style and technology with some performance to boot.

 

 

 

These are all definitely some of my favorite cars and I'm glad Rockstar hasn't ignored the idea of a proper grand tourer.

Mmm that Rapid GT classic is to die for
