Safety

The Amalfi’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.

The Amalfi’s blind spot warning system uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a system to reveal objects in the driver’s blind spots.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Amalfi’s standard rear cross-path warning system uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

The Amalfi has standard 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 Amalfi 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.

The Amalfi has 2.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the McLaren GTS (21.1 vs. 19 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Transmission

Tires and Wheels

Suspension and Handling

The Amalfi’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (50% to 50%) than the McLaren GTS’ (42.5% to 57.5%). This gives the Amalfi more stable handling and braking.

Ergonomics

The Amalfi’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 Amalfi’s standard Keyless Entry and Ignition allows you to unlock the doors from either outside door handle, open the trunk, and start the engine, all without removing the key from pocket or purse. Keyless Entry and Lock standard on the McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a sensor on the trunk.

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

The Amalfi’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The McLaren GTS has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

The Ferrari Amalfi 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.

On extremely cold winter days, the Amalfi’s standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Amalfi 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 Amalfi has standard steering wheel controls for the radio. The McLaren GTS doesn’t offer steering wheel audio controls.
