Compare the2024 Mercedes AMG GTVS 2024 McLaren 750S

The Mercedes AMG GT has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The 750S 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 750S doesn’t offer a system that can receive automated systems from infrastructure or other vehicles.

Both the Mercedes AMG GT and the 750S 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 1071 to 1179 pounds more than the McLaren 750S. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts. Crosswinds also affect lighter cars more.

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 750S’ 3-year basic warranty expires 1 year sooner.

There are almost 15 times as many Mercedes dealers as there are McLaren dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the AMG GT’s warranty.

The 750S’ redline is at 8500 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Mercedes AMG GT has a 7000 RPM redline.

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 750S.

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 McLaren 750S is not available with all wheel drive.

For better traction, the Mercedes AMG GT has larger front tires than the 750S (F:295/30R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:245/35R19 & 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 750S’ standard 35 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mercedes AMG GT has standard 20-inch wheels. Only 19-inch front wheels are available on the 750S. The Mercedes AMG GT offers optional 21-inch wheels.

The Mercedes AMG GT offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. McLaren doesn’t offer an active suspension on the 750S.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Mercedes AMG GT’s wheelbase is 1.2 inches longer than on the 750S (106.3 inches vs. 105.1 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 2.3 inches wider in the rear than on the 750S.

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 750S doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Mercedes AMG GT has standard seating for 4 passengers; the 750S can only carry 2.

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 750S doesn’t offer a power or hands-free opening trunk.

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 750S doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

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 750S.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s standard GPS navigation system has a real-time traffic update feature that plots alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.) The 750S’ available navigation system doesn’t offer real-time traffic updates.
