The GT2 might, but my money is on the M8, as it was a completely useless car in the game when introduced, just like the only other GTE to get an ES: the 2017 AM. 2017 AM was the winner of that season and was added through SE,so two good reasons for this to have an ES. And as for uselessness of M8,well Mercedes clk-lm is also useless because most of the people had to upgrade Porsche 911 GT-1 to win it in the SE and could be used to complete the 98 season but Mercedes hasn't received an ES despite being added through hard SE and M8 is only added through LTS,it hasn't won and lacks behind Porsche RSR Seconded. The 2017 AM GTE was the LeMans winner and deserved an ES as did the 2018 911 RSR. If M8 GTE is useless, then so are the multiple cars (including those beetles) that were introduced in the "Endurance GT & Prototype" section where just one car suffices to get their individual series done. The lengths the beetle fanboys will go to defend their pride is amusing.

AFAIC, the new 2018 AM GTE is the only one left to debut in the 2018 season. I don't think the 488 GTE Evo will be introduced due to it being an incremental update & the older gen Corvette/Ford GTLM are on their last year of GTE presence in 2019 IRL and already in the 2016 season (which IMO is the best season) in the game.

I agree that the M1 is very similar to the Testarosa in terms of history & background. To see it not get an ES will be disappointing & be put in the same basket of neglected stars as the Zonda R, CX-75/XJ220 & the Enzo.
