Compare the2024 Mercedes AMG GTVS 2024 Ferrari Roma

The Mercedes AMG GT has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Roma doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

Earlier warning of stopped traffic, traffic signals, dangerous road conditions, weather, or accidents, can keep driver's safer and prevent crashes. The Mercedes AMG GT has Car-to-X Communication, a system that seamlessly communicates important warnings to the driver about impending danger, if they're available. The Roma doesn’t offer a system that can receive automated systems from infrastructure or other vehicles.

Both the Mercedes AMG GT and the Roma have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control and electronic stability systems to prevent skidding.

The Mercedes AMG GT weighs 630 to 780 pounds more than the Ferrari Roma. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The AMG GT comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The Roma’s 3-year basic warranty expires 1 year sooner.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Roma’s (5 vs. 3 years).

There are almost 10 times as many Mercedes dealers as there are Ferrari dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the AMG GT’s warranty.

The Mercedes AMG GT 63’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 produces 29 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 561) than the Roma’s 3.9 turbo V8.

A nine-speed automatic (SMG) is standard on the Mercedes AMG GT, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only an eight-speed automatic is available for the Roma.

All wheel drive, available in the Mercedes AMG GT, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Ferrari Roma is not available with all wheel drive.

For better traction, the Mercedes AMG GT has larger tires than the Roma (F:295/30R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:245/35R20 & R:285/35R20).

The Mercedes AMG GT’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Roma’s standard 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mercedes AMG GT offers optional 21-inch wheels. The Roma’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

The Mercedes AMG GT offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Ferrari doesn’t offer an active suspension on the Roma.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Mercedes AMG GT’s wheelbase is 1.2 inches longer than on the Roma (106.3 inches vs. 105.1 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Mercedes AMG GT is 1.3 inches wider in the front and .3 inches wider in the rear than on the Roma.

For excellent aerodynamics, the Mercedes AMG GT has standard flush composite headlights. The Roma has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The front grille of the Mercedes AMG GT uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Roma doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Mercedes AMG GT has a larger trunk with its rear seat up than the Roma Coupe (11.3 vs. 10.3 cubic feet).

To make loading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the Mercedes AMG GT’s trunk can be opened and closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The Roma doesn’t offer a hands-free gesture to open its trunk, forcing you to put cargo down if your hands are full.

The Mercedes AMG GT offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Roma doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

On extremely cold winter days, the Mercedes AMG GT’s standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The Roma doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

The Mercedes AMG GT offers optional massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Roma.
