What do you mean by touring car? A town car?
A 240D auto will peg the speedo and keep it there if you desire to run it flat out. It will hold 50-55 mph at the top of 3rd gear up almost any hill on the back roads. I'm not too sure how fast you can go up large hills on the interstates though. Maintaining the speed limit up the largest hills shouldn't be a problem.
The beauty of a 240 is the driving experience. You don't drive it like other cars. As cheesy as this sounds, your mind becomes one with the car. You just drive it how you feel is safe for the conditions.
