I prioritized handling when I bought my last grand tourer—a four-door Italian-styled racer I picked to mimic the latest GT series. The car had a staggering 620 hp, but I quickly realized raw acceleration only made sense in sprint mode. For daily driving, precise steering and a balanced chassis were what truly mattered.
On my first weekend trip through the Alps, the difference in cornering compared to an older model with more power but less tuning was obvious: the line stayed stable, the steering response was instant, and I could carry serious speed through the bends without oversteering.
By fine-tuning the suspension—adjusting damping curves and optimizing traction control—I unlocked the engine’s potential without sacrificing comfort. The result? A GT that rockets down straights and still delivers a sporty yet relaxed ride on twisty mountain roads. For me, it’s all about balancing handling precision with available power; that’s what brings the grand tourer DNA to life.
