touring car
Early convertible vehicle
A touring car is an open automobile with a folding top, designed for pleasure driving rather than speed—popular in the early twentieth century before enclosed sedans became standard.
In motorsport, touring car racing features modified production vehicles: The British Touring Car Championship draws huge crowds.
The term sometimes applies to any vehicle suited for long-distance travel.
