Compare the2026 Ferrari F80VS 2026 McLaren GTS

The F80 has standard Automatic Emergency Braking, which use forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether. The McLaren GTS doesn't offer collision warning or crash mitigation brakes.

The F80 has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The F80’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.

The F80’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

The F80 offers optional 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 GTS 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 F80 and the McLaren GTS have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, 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 F80 for 4 years and unlimited miles longer than McLaren pays for maintenance for the GTS (7/unlimited vs. 3/unlimited).

The F80’s 3.0 turbo V6 hybrid produces 558 more horsepower (1184 vs. 626) than the McLaren GTS’ 4.0 turbo V8.

Regenerative brakes improve the F80’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

An eight-speed automatic (SMG) is standard on the Ferrari F80, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only a seven-speed automatic is available for the McLaren GTS.

All-wheel drive, available in the F80, 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 GTS is not available with all-wheel drive.

For better stopping power the F80’s brake rotors are larger than those on the McLaren GTS:

For better traction, the F80 has larger tires than the McLaren GTS (F:285/30R20 & R:345/30R21 vs. F:225/35R20 & R:295/30R21).

The F80’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the McLaren GTS’ standard 35 series front tires.

The F80 offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. McLaren doesn’t offer an active suspension on the McLaren GTS.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the F80 is 1.5 inches wider in the front and 1.7 inches wider in the rear than on the McLaren GTS.

The F80’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 GTS does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The F80’s power window, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The McLaren GTS’ cruise control switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the F80 detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

The F80’s power mirror controls are mounted on the center console for easy access. The McLaren GTS’ power mirror controls are on the dash where they are possibly hidden by the steering wheel and are awkward to manipulate.

The Ferrari F80 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 GTS.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the F80 has a standard Adaptive CruiseControl, 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 GTS doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

To help keep the driver’s hands on the wheel, the F80 has standard steering wheel controls for the radio. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer steering wheel audio controls.

Standard smartphone integration for the F80 allows the driver and passengers access to select programs on their smartphones so they can stay connected without taking their eyes off the road or their hands from the wheel. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer factory integrated smartphone program access.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Ferrari F80 has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the front center console. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer wireless personal charging.
