The SF90 has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The McLaren GT doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.
Both the SF90 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, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.
Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the SF90 for 4 years and unlimited miles longer than McLaren pays for maintenance for the GT (7/unlimited vs. 3/unlimited).
The SF90’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 374 more horsepower (986 vs. 612) and 125 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 465) than the McLaren GT’s 4.0 turbo V8. The SF90 XX Stradale’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 406 more horsepower (1018 vs. 612) and 128 lbs.-ft. more torque (593 vs. 465) than the McLaren GT’s 4.0 turbo V8.
On the EPA test cycle the SF90 XX Stradale running on electricity gets better mileage than the McLaren GT (45 city/44 hwy MPGe vs. 15 city/22 hwy).
The SF90 XX Stradale can travel with zero emissions for 8 miles. The McLaren GT can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.
Regenerative brakes improve the SF90’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The McLaren GT doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.
An eight-speed automatic (SMG) is standard on the Ferrari SF90, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only a seven-speed automatic is available for the McLaren GT.
All wheel drive, available in the SF90, 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 GT is not available with all wheel drive.
For better stopping power the SF90’s brake rotors are larger than those on the McLaren GT:

| Rear Rotors |

For better traction, the SF90 has larger tires than the McLaren GT (F:255/35R20 & R:315/30R20 vs. F:225/35R20 & R:295/30R21).
The SF90’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (45% to 55%) than the McLaren GT’s (42.5% to 57.5%). This gives the SF90 more stable handling and braking.
The SF90’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The McLaren 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 McLaren GT does not have an oil pressure gauge.
The SF90 has a standard 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 McLaren GT doesn’t offer a heads-up display.
While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the SF90 detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The McLaren GT doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.
The Ferrari SF90 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.
To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the SF90 has a standard Adaptive Cruise Control, 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 McLaren GT doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.
Standard smartphone integration for the SF90 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.
The Ferrari SF90 comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the McLaren GT isn’t available as a convertible.
