Back in 2019, McLaren launched an entry-level model that should have been a strong seller for the supercar brand - the GT. It wasn't, despite a useful update in 2022, and you get the impression that they Woking maker is still trying to understand why. In early 2024, they announced that the GT would be replaced by this GTS model, which isn't really a new car but more far-reaching update of the GT.
