Checks worth making.

What else could fit?
McLaren 570GT
Closest in concept: another McLaren grand-tourer with mid-engine layout and a more luggage-friendly, less track-led brief than a 570S.
Compare the models ↗Ferrari Portofino
Front-engine 2+2 GT alternative for similar luxury touring use; softer grand-touring brief than a mid-engine supercar while still offering high performance.
Compare the models ↗Porsche 911
Strong everyday GT comparison, especially Carrera-based 992-era cars: easier long-distance usability and luggage practicality with similar premium performance positioning.
