The Mercedes AMG GT’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Huracán doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Mercedes AMG GT are reminded to check the back seat. The Huracán doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Mercedes AMG GT has standard Active Brake Assist, which use forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether. The Huracán doesn't offer collision warning or crash mitigation brakes.

The Mercedes AMG GT has a standard Post Collision Brake, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Huracán doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The Mercedes AMG GT has standard Close-Range Braking that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The Huracán doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Mercedes AMG GT. But it costs extra on the Huracán.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s optional lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane. The Huracán doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.

The Mercedes AMG GT has a standard Surround View System to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Huracán only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s blind spot warning system uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them. The Huracán doesn’t offer a system to reveal objects in the driver’s blind spots.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Mercedes AMG GT’s standard Rear Cross-Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side and Active Brake Assist automatically engages the brakes to help avoid a collision. The Huracán doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Huracán doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

The Mercedes AMG GT has standard Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, help track down your vehicle if it’s stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Huracán doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the Mercedes AMG GT and the Huracán have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

The Mercedes AMG GT weighs 841 to 1391 pounds more than the Lamborghini Huracán. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Warranty

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 Huracán’s 3-year basic warranty expires 1 year sooner.

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

Reliability

The Huracán’s redline is at 8500 to 8700 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Mercedes AMG GT has a 7000 RPM redline.

Regenerative brakes improve the Mercedes AMG GT’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Huracán doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

Environmental Friendliness

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Mercedes AMG GT higher (5 out of 10) than the Lamborghini Huracán (1). This means the Mercedes AMG GT produces up to 39 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Huracán every 15,000 miles.

Transmission

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

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Mercedes AMG GT’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Huracán:

	AMG GT	Huracán
Front Rotors	15.4 inches	15 inches
Rear Rotors	14.2 inches	14 inches

In an emergency stopping situation, many drivers don’t press the brakes with enough force to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance. The Mercedes AMG GT has a standard Brake Assist 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.

The Mercedes AMG GT stops much shorter than the Huracán:

	Mercedes AMG GT	Huracán
100 to 0 MPH	299 feet	331 feet	Car and Driver
70 to 0 MPH	153 feet	172 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	102 feet	115 feet	Motor Trend

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Mercedes AMG GT has larger tires than the Huracán (F:295/30R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:235/40R19 & R:285/40R19). The Mercedes AMG GT’s front tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Huracán (F:295/30R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:245/30R20 & R:305/30R20).

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 Huracán Sterrato’s standard 40 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mercedes AMG GT has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the Huracán. The Mercedes AMG GT’s optional 21-inch wheels are larger than the 20-inch wheels on the Huracán Technica/STO.

Suspension and Handling

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

The Mercedes AMG GT’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Huracán doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Mercedes AMG GT’s wheelbase is 3.2 inches longer than on the Huracán Technica Coupe (106.3 inches vs. 103.1 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Mercedes AMG GT is .2 inches wider in the front and 2.1 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the Huracán.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (54% to 46%) than the Huracán’s (43% to 57%). This gives the Mercedes AMG GT more stable handling and braking.

The Mercedes AMG GT 63 handles at 1.05 G’s, while the Huracán Sterrato pulls only .93 G’s of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.

The Mercedes AMG GT 63 executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1 seconds quicker than the Huracán Sterrato (23.4 seconds @ .89 average G’s vs. 24.4 seconds @ .82 average G’s).

Chassis

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 Huracán doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Passenger Space

The Mercedes AMG GT has standard seating for 4 passengers; the Huracán can only carry 2.

Cargo Capacity

The Mercedes AMG GT has a much larger trunk with its rear seat up than the Huracán Coupe (11.3 vs. 3.5 cubic feet).

To make loading and unloading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the Mercedes AMG GT’s power trunk can be opened or closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The Huracán doesn’t offer a power or hands-free opening trunk.

Servicing Ease

An ASSYST PLUS is standard on the Mercedes AMG GT to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes, tire rotation, and brake pad replacement, based on odometer mileage. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer. Lamborghini doesn’t offer a maintenance reminder on the Huracán.

Ergonomics

The Mercedes AMG GT has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Huracán doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

When three different drivers share the Mercedes AMG GT, the memory system makes it convenient for all three. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver and front passenger’s seat positions, steering wheel position, outside mirror angle, climate settings and radio stations. The Huracán doesn’t offer a memory system.

The Mercedes AMG 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 Mercedes AMG 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 Mercedes AMG 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.

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Mercedes AMG GT to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. The Huracán doesn’t offer heated windshield washer fluid.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Mercedes AMG GT detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Huracán doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the Mercedes AMG GT has standard cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Huracán doesn’t offer cornering lights. The Mercedes AMG GT also has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The Huracán’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Huracán offers an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the Mercedes AMG GT keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Huracán doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

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 Huracán 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 Huracán.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Mercedes AMG GT offers an optional Active Distance Assist, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Huracán doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

To help keep the driver’s hands on the wheel, the Mercedes AMG GT has standard steering wheel controls for the radio. The Huracán doesn’t offer steering wheel audio controls.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s Active Parking Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Huracán doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
