Compare the2025 Ferrari RomaVS 2024 McLaren GT

The Roma has standard GPS Response System, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The McLaren GT 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 Roma and the McLaren GT have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding and front and rear parking sensors.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Roma for 4 years and unlimited miles longer than McLaren pays for maintenance for the GT (7/unlimited vs. 3/unlimited).

The McLaren GT’s redline is at 8500 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Roma has a 7500 RPM redline.

The Roma’s 3.9 turbo V8 produces 96 lbs.-ft. more torque (561 vs. 465) than the McLaren GT’s 4.0 turbo V8.

On the EPA test cycle the Roma gets better fuel mileage than the McLaren GT (17 city/22 hwy vs. 15 city/22 hwy).

The Roma has 2.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the McLaren GT (21.1 vs. 19 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The Roma has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The McLaren GT doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

An eight-speed automatic (SMG) is standard on the Ferrari Roma, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only a seven-speed automatic is available for the McLaren GT.

For better stopping power the Roma’s brake rotors are larger than those on the McLaren GT:

For better traction, the Roma has larger front tires than the McLaren GT (245/35R20 vs. 225/35R20).

For better maneuverability, the Roma’s turning circle is 4.2 feet tighter than the McLaren GT’s (35.4 feet vs. 39.6 feet).

The Roma has standard seating for 4 passengers; the McLaren GT can only carry 2.

The Roma’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The McLaren GT does not have an oil pressure gauge.

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

The Roma’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 McLaren GT has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

The Ferrari Roma has power folding mirrors that offer unparalleled convenience while maneuvering in tight places or parked. With the mirrors folded it’s easier to walk past and help prevent parking damage. The mirrors can be quickly unfolded when the driver is ready to leave. Power folding mirrors costs extra on the McLaren GT.

Standard smartphone integration for the Roma allows the driver and passengers access to select programs on their smartphones, including reading text messages aloud, playing internet radio stations and other connected activities without taking their eyes off the road or their hands from the wheel. The McLaren GT doesn’t offer factory integrated smartphone program access.
