Brakes and Stopping
In an emergency stopping situation, many drivers don’t press the brakes with enough force to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance. The McLaren GT has a standard brake assist system to detect emergency braking situations (by how hard and how quickly the brake pedal is pressed) and then automatically apply maximum braking immediately in order to help prevent a collision. The Huracán doesn’t offer a brake assist feature.

Car and Driver |
Tires and Wheels
For better traction and acceleration, the McLaren GT has larger rear tires than the Huracán (295/30R21 vs. 285/40R19).
The McLaren GT’s 225/35R20 front and 295/30R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Huracán Sterrato’s standard 40 series tires.
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the McLaren GT has standard 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the Huracán. The Huracán’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.
Suspension and Handling
For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the McLaren GT’s wheelbase is 2.2 inches longer than on the Huracán Technica Coupe (105.3 inches vs. 103.1 inches).
For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the McLaren GT is 1.2 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the Huracán.
Cargo Capacity
The McLaren GT has a much larger trunk than the Huracán Coupe (20.2 vs. 3.5 cubic feet).
To make loading and unloading groceries and cargo easier, especially for short adults, the McLaren GT offers an optional power liftgate, which opens and closes automatically by pressing a button. The Huracán doesn’t offer a power trunk.
Ergonomics
When two different drivers share the McLaren GT, the optional memory system makes it convenient for both. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver and front passenger’s seat positions, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle. The Huracán doesn’t offer a memory system.
The McLaren GT’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Huracán doesn’t offer an easy entry system.
The McLaren GT’s front power windows open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Huracán’s power windows’ switches have to be held the entire time to close them fully.
The McLaren GT’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Huracán’s manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.
To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the McLaren GT offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Huracán doesn’t offer cornering lights.
