Given the sheer volume of tourers available, it’s handy to know which will provide the best experience in the game and how to add them to the player’s garage.
10Audi A4 Quatro Touring Car (8D)
The first of many classic touring cars that just go to show that performance is very much ageless on the racetrack, the Audi A4 Quatro Touring Car (8D) shines as one of the best choices among thedeep roster of Touring cars inGRID Legends.
The A4 Quatro saw plenty of success on the British scene prior to the all-wheel drive ban in the late 90s, but players can still relive this classic car right down to its iconic silver and red livery. This classic is relatively easy to come by, as it can be unlocked for 62,500 in-game credits right from the Garage.
9Alfa Romeo 155 TS
One of the many subsequent models to come from Alfa Romeo’s 155,GRID Legendspays homage to the mid-nineties with the inclusion of the Alfa Romeo 155 TS. Making its debut in 1993 in Italy, the 155 TS is a much leaner version of its predecessor, but still has room for plenty of horsepower, exceeding 300hp.
Players will have their work cut out for them to include this retro classic in their garage, but it’s certainly worth the effort. It can be added to the garage by completing Classic Touring Car Event 1.
8Renault Laguna Touring Car
The lovechild of a road car and a Formula 1 partner, the Renault Laguna Touring Car was a force to be reckoned with in the mid to late nineties. With a solid rating,especially in acceleration and handling, the car is as reliable on a straight as it is on a hairpin. Sporting a body similar to its road car equivalent, the Laguna’s performance is indicative of the influence that F1 partner Williams had under the hood.
With a yellow and blue livery reflecting the era the car was born in, the Laguna is simply a satisfying car to take for a spin in any capacity. Access is granted to players once they are able to conquer the Classic Touring Car Event 2.
7Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth Group A
Originating in Ford’s European wing, the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth Group A was the next step up from the previous model of the same name when they were manufactured in succession in the 80s. Improving on its predecessor, the Group A boasts a larger turbo and a boost in horsepower that would see the car reach success in Europe and Australia.

It can be purchased straight away for use on the tarmac, coming at a cost of 63,250 in-game credits.
6Chevrolet Camaro Super Tourer
The Camaro Super Tourer boasts one of the best braking ratings among the Touring cars but, of course, that isn’t necessarily what racing enthusiasts want to hear about most. With this said, the Camaro holds its own with a very competitive level of performance in acceleration and handling, making it an ideal choicein any race scenario. Once players complete Super Tourers Event 2, they will find the unmistakable car in their garage ready to go.
5Holden ZB Commodore Supercar
Australian racing and Holden go hand-in-hand as the iconic home-grown manufacturer dominated the racing scene up until its final year of competition in 2022. The Holden ZB Commodore Supercar was the final evolution of the Commodore range which packed the trophy cabinet throughout its dominance in the Australian V8 Supercars Championship.
Despite its distinct body resembling the road car equivalent, the Commodore has an unlikely amount of power under the bonnet, attributed to its V8 engine. Australian racing fans may not see the Commodore on the circuits anymore, butthey can relive its successfor just 69,062 in-game credits.
4Ford Falcon FG X Supercar
The other heavyweight on the Australian V8 Supercars circuit, the Ford Falcon was just as dominant as its main rival on the biggest stage in Australian racing. The Falcon was the premiere car model for US-based manufacturer Ford before transitioning to the Mustang for competition in 2019. While the Falcon, much like its fierce rival in Holden, is no longer dominating the podiums, race fans can still play out the iconic rivalry.
The Falcon’s performance is eerily close to that of the Commodore, which is not a surprise given how close the two performed alongside each other for many years, so excellent acceleration and steering can be expected from the car. to complete the great Australian racing rivalry, players will need to complete the Super Tourers Event 1.
3Porsche 935/78 Group 5 “Moby Dick”
Brandishing a nickname synonymous with the great whale from Melville’s classic novel, the Porsche 935/78 Group 5 is fittingly a huge challenge to anyone competing against the red devil. Positioning itself comfortably within the top 20 fastest cars across all classes inGRID Legends, the Moby Dick packs some serious punch on the tarmac.

With a shovel bumper and classic body that takes race fans back to the eighties, this car performs exactly as well as one would expect for a vehicle labeled the “Porsche killer”.
The Ford Capri Turbo Group 5 is a throwback to the 70s and 80s that racing fans will certainly appreciate. In order to get behind the wheel of this classic, players will need to complete TC-1 Event 1.
1Nissan Skyline GT-R Group A (R32)
Japanese manufacturer Nissan birthed the Skyline R32 GTR with the sole purpose of winning Group A races, then decided to up the ante with a successor in the Skyline GT-R Group A. The result was a resounding success, with the cardominating racing championshipsin Japan and Australia, including multiple wins in the Bathurst 1000, the biggest race on the Australian racing calendar.
The GT-R Group A boasts high quality across the board, with excellent distribution of power, a smooth steering experience, and sharp handling for weaving through competition and racetrack alike.
