Fuel Economy and Range
The MCPura 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 Mercedes AMG GT doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

Tires and Wheels
For better traction and acceleration, the MCPura has larger rear tires than the Mercedes AMG GT (305/30R20 vs. 285/40R19).
The MCPura’s 245/35R20 front and 305/30R20 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 MCPura has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the Mercedes AMG GT 43.
Suspension and Handling
The MCPura Coupe handles at 1.08 G’s, while the Mercedes AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ pulls only 1.06 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.
For better maneuverability, the MCPura’s turning circle is 2.5 feet tighter than the Mercedes AMG GT’s (38.7 feet vs. 41.2 feet).
Chassis
The Maserati MCPura may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 900 to 1100 pounds less than the Mercedes AMG GT.
The MCPura’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.
Model Availability
The Maserati MCPura comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Mercedes AMG GT isn’t available as a convertible.
