Set to arrive in 2024, the GTS is another rolling automotive sculpture from UK icon McLaren Automotive, which has coincidentally turned 60 years old and been scooped up by a concern in Bahrain.

It’s been four years since Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the EV maker’s most polarizing vehicle to date, the so-called Cybertruck. All we’ve seen thus far is the stainless steel-bodied prototype that takes the traditional two-box pickup design to the realm of science fiction with its abrupt angles and wedge-shaped design, not to mention its […]
