Compare the2024 Mercedes AMG GTVS 2024 Maserati MC20

The Mercedes AMG GT has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The MC20 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 MC20 doesn’t offer a system that can receive automated systems from infrastructure or other vehicles.

Both the Mercedes AMG GT and the MC20 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding and daytime running lights.

The Mercedes AMG GT weighs 628 to 935 pounds more than the Maserati MC20. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s corrosion warranty is 1 year and unlimited miles longer than the MC20’s (5/unlimited vs. 4/50,000).

There are almost 4 times as many Mercedes dealers as there are Maserati dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the AMG GT’s warranty.

The MC20’s redline is at 8000 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Mercedes AMG GT has a 7000 RPM redline.

The Mercedes AMG GT 63’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 produces 52 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 538) than the MC20’s 3.0 turbo V6.

The Mercedes AMG GT has 2.6 gallons more fuel capacity than the MC20 (18.5 vs. 15.9 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

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 MC20.

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 Maserati MC20 is not available with all wheel drive.

For better stopping power the Mercedes AMG GT’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the MC20:

For better traction, the Mercedes AMG GT has larger front tires than the MC20 (F:295/30R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:245/35R20 & 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 MC20’s standard 35 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mercedes AMG GT offers optional 21-inch wheels. The MC20’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. Maserati doesn’t offer an active suspension on the MC20.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Mercedes AMG GT is .1 inches wider in the front and 1.5 inches wider in the rear than on the MC20.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (54% to 46%) than the MC20’s (41% to 59%). This gives the Mercedes AMG GT more stable handling and braking.

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 MC20 doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Mercedes AMG GT has standard seating for 4 passengers; the MC20 can only carry 2.

The Mercedes AMG GT has a much larger trunk with its rear seat up than the MC20 Coupe (11.3 vs. 5.3 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 MC20 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 MC20 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 MC20 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 MC20.
