For better traction and acceleration, the SF90 has larger rear tires than the Mercedes AMG GT (315/30R20 vs. 285/40R19). The SF90’s rear tires are larger than the largest rear tires available on the Mercedes AMG GT (315/30R20 vs. 305/30R20).
The SF90’s 255/35R20 front and 315/30R20 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Mercedes AMG GT 43’s 45 series front and 40 series rear tires.
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the SF90 has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the Mercedes AMG GT 43.
The SF90 Assetto Fiorano Coupe handles at 1.07 G’s, while the Mercedes AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ pulls only 1.05 G’s of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.
The Ferrari SF90 may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 900 pounds less than the Mercedes AMG GT.
The SF90’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Mercedes AMG GT doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.
The SF90’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 Mercedes AMG GT does not have an oil pressure gauge.
The Ferrari SF90 comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Mercedes AMG GT isn’t available as a convertible.
