Compare the2025 McLaren 750SVS 2024 Ferrari 812

The McLaren 750S has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The 812 doesn’t offer knee airbags.

The 750S offers an optional 360 Degree Park Assist to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The 812 only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

Both the 750S and the 812 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and front and rear parking sensors.

The 750S’ corrosion warranty is 7 years longer than the 812’s (10 vs. 3 years).

The 750S’ 4.0 turbo V8 produces 60 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 530) than the 812’s 6.5 DOHC V12.

On the EPA test cycle the 750S gets better fuel mileage than the 812 GTS (15 city/19 hwy vs. 12 city/16 hwy).

The 750S has standard air brakes, which adjust the Spoiler automatically during high-speed braking in order to shorten stopping distances. The 812 doesn’t offer air brakes.

The 750S’ 305/30R20 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the 812’s standard 35 series tires.

The 750S has active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The 812 doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.

The 750S offers an available adjustable active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Ferrari doesn’t offer an active suspension on the 812.

The McLaren 750S may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 450 to 550 pounds less than the Ferrari 812.

The 750S is 4.9 inches shorter than the 812, making the 750S easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The 750S is 10.2 inches shorter in height than the 812, making the 750S much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

The 750S’ front power windows open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The 812’s front passenger window doesn’t close automatically.

The 750S’ standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The 812’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.

If the windows are left open on the 750S the driver can close them all at the outside door handle or from a distance using the remote. On a hot day the driver can also lower the windows the same way. The driver of the 812 can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

In case of a sudden change of weather, the 750S Convertible has a standard remote convertible top that can be raised from a distance to protect the interior of the vehicle from damage. On a hot day the 750S Convertible has a standard remote opening feature, to lower the top from outside. The 812 doesn’t offer a remote top, so the driver will have to run to the car, get in, turn the ignition on and raise the top to prevent the interior from being damaged.

The 750S’ standard Keyless Entry and Start allow you to unlock the doors from either outside door handle and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Keyless Start standard on the 812 only offers hands-free access for the ignition, none to unlock the car.

Both the McLaren 750S and Ferrari 812 offer exterior mirrors that can be folded to provide convenience. The 750S features standard power folding mirrors, which allow for easy, one-touch folding or unfolding at the driver’s discretion. This provides added convenience when maneuvering or parking, as well as when walking past the parked vehicle. In comparison, the 812’s foldable mirrors are manual, requiring the driver to get out and physically fold them once parked and unfold them before getting in.

The 750S’ standard separate stalk mounted cruise control on/off switch is conveniently located with the rest of the cruise controls. The 812’s standard cruise control must be turned on with a hard to find switch on the dashboard.

The McLaren 750S comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Ferrari 812 isn’t available as a coupe.

The McLaren Super Series outsold the Ferrari 812 by 21% during 2024.
