Well... I used an 850R. And I'd do it again. So... I guess one of them.

Not what I had in mind, but I guess the 2.7 HDi would be quite good.
No actually what I think would be best is the Mercedes-Benz S320 CDI. Good performance, very comfortable and a big fuel tank with reduced fuel consumption.
Why 530d with speed limits and 535d without? Both do 155mph, but the single turbo uses less fuel.
No "conditions" just the fastest car to get from Lisobn to Moscow.

The truth is with actual real world conditions a 520d would probably be the best because it has ample power and excellent fuel economy. As you said, a comfortable car that doesn't wear out the driver(s) and doesn't need to stop for gas are the two most important criteria. A MB E220 CDI probably wouldn't be bad either, I just like BMWs.
Most enjoyable: Audi A8 4.2 TDI.

520d would be my second choice. Amazingly low fuel consumption and 143mph is probably enough. Plus with the active seats and standards wheels and suspension it must be quite comfortable.
But the Merc is slightly faster, more comfortable and while thirstier it has a bigger tank.
PS. I 'm superised henk4 didn't choose a Citroen...

Thrust SSC - 1240 km/h until fuel lasts, then roll.
well, most cars can do the job. its depended on the driver and the traffic
Bugatti Veyron.
Sure it's fat and drinks enough fuel to make Bush and Cheney dance a jig, but hey, it gets the job done.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
The performance numbers on the 520d and the E220 CDI are very close, except the BMW gets much better fuel consumption. However the Benz does have the larger fuel tank which in this situation counts for a lot. I'm not sure which is more comfortable, but I'm sure the 5 is much more fun to drive.
If I were going to pick a Citroen, C6 2.2 HDI.

Well, when doing such a long journey if you want to arrive there early comfort is important.
Having a high performance sportscar is going to be exhausting, so you'll probably have to stop more often. And anyway you can't go 200km/h+ all the time so the performance goes to waste.
Basically I think that the best car has to be an all rounder.
