Ferrari 296 GTB vs McLaren 750S: UK prices compared
As of 15 November 2026, 21 Ferrari 296 GTB and 10 McLaren 750S are for sale at UK specialist dealers. The typical asking price is £209,000 for the Ferrari 296 GTB and £245,000 for the McLaren 750S.
The Ferrari 296 GTB is a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid that pairs a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor. The McLaren 750S, which replaced the 720S, sticks with a mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 and a carbonfibre tub, and comes as a coupé or Spider. They're compared because they sit at the same level in each maker's range, with similar performance, and they reach it in very different ways.

Which to choose
The Ferrari 296 GTB suits
The 296 GTB suits a buyer who wants the most up-to-date powertrain. Its hybrid system gives 819 bhp combined and a short electric-only range for quiet town driving, and it comes in a compact, two-seat Ferrari body.
The McLaren 750S suits
The 750S suits a buyer who prefers a conventional twin-turbo V8 with no hybrid system, a light carbonfibre structure and dihedral doors. Buyers who want open-air driving can choose the Spider, which has a folding hard top.
On paper, there's little between them: the Ferrari has more power, the McLaren is slightly faster at the top end, and both cover 0-62 mph in under three seconds. So the choice comes down to how each car makes its power. The 296's V6 hybrid adds battery weight and complexity, but it can also run silently on electricity. The 750S is a simpler, lighter-feeling V8 car and also comes as a Spider. Drive both, and choose the one whose character you prefer.

Questions buyers ask
Which is quicker, the Ferrari 296 GTB or the McLaren 750S?
They're very closely matched. The 296 GTB has more power, with 819 bhp against 740 bhp, but the 750S claims a slightly higher top speed of 206 mph against 205 mph. Both reach 62 mph in under three seconds.
Is the Ferrari 296 GTB a hybrid?
Yes. It's a plug-in hybrid with a twin-turbo V6 and an electric motor, and it can cover a short distance on electric power alone. The McLaren 750S has no hybrid system and uses a twin-turbo V8.
Is there a convertible version of either car?
Yes, both have one. McLaren makes the 750S Spider, which has a retractable hard top, and Ferrari offers an open version of the 296 called the GTS.
How much does the 750S Spider weigh compared with the coupé?
McLaren quotes 1,438 kg for the Spider and 1,389 kg for the coupé. Both cars have the same power and the same claimed top speed.
