Which car do you choose? Bear in mind this will be the only car available, you get there in it and leave the bank with the gold bars in it. Things might go sour if the alarm sounds, you will need to get you and your 3 man crew out of there fast and evade the coppers if necessary. No modification is allowed. I’d take the new X5M

Porsche Panamera.

It looks like a rich oil tycoon owns it so you don’t look that out of place (assuming this is an upscale heist). The thing can haul ass and if things go really sour then you can probably smash your way through any intersection if needed.

That was my first thought, but they aren’t common enough. I’d go with one of these:

No one would suspect a thing. Especially everyone dresses up like a bunch of old people.

True. And you could drive practically forever.

Raptor - no question - fast, handles the payload, room for the crew, able to take a bunch of punishment, high speed non-pavement capabilities

Well, this is road legal. Also makes a good battering ram.

As much as you can fit in one vehicle and still be able to escape.

Now, the problem is getting one of those, someone will report is stolen and they do stand out.

Great idea, but small boot, the payload won’t be as high.

Also a great choice, that is second on the list for me.

I big, fast SUV would probably be the best choice, but I tried to think outside the box.

I’d take an E63 AMG wagon:

Fast, practical, handles well, and (relatively) subtle.

Bentley Mulsanne, high power, lots of space, huge fuel tank

Especially in black, and probably more boot space!

I honestly like it better in white, but black is less conspicuous.

Chevy SS

A Chevy Suburban

It's got three rows that can all seat several adults comfortably, it won't draw attention like a luxury car might, it can handle the gold just fine, and while it may not go the fastest, it'll take a beating before it goes down.

A Corolla wagon with a V8 thrown in there. Sleeper vehicle FTW

Assuming this heist takes place when the TrackHawk comes out...

707 Horsepower hellcat can easily handle the cops and the gold

Yeah I did think of the fact that it sticks out like a sore thumb but I figured the heist is to be completed at all costs so I adopted the Bad Boys mentality. “We ride together, we die together. Bad boys for life.”

If they try to chase you then I suppose you could ram them off the road without much damage to the car. Then you could try off roading to avoid the fuzz in the 6x6 with ease.

Something nondescript and fast. I vote Camry V6.

Or something that nobody knows what it is because they’ve never seen it before. I also vote Lotus Carlton.

The Carlton has quite a history of bank-robbing roles.

When it comes to heist getaway cars, I’m usually partial to the second series Citroën XM Break V6, because:

1) Hydropneumatic suspension allows for very high payload without compromising the handling too much.

2) These things are fucking huge

3) Being a wagon, it blends in better than a SUV/ Truck/ Bus, plus the low ride height and body shape improve top speed and fuel economy. It might not accelerate as quickly as some high end SUV, but it is not far off the top speed, and since it has a 21 gallon fuel tank it should maintain that speed for a lot longer.

A Xantia is of course a bit faster and more agile, but it can’t haul as much shiny stuff, and why would you want that? Of course if there is a lot of gold to haul you cant always take a Loadrunner, but it is hard to hide one of those:
