Manthey-Tuned GT2 RS Edges Out ZR1 at Road Atlanta

Porsche's Manthey Racing kit-equipped 2019 GT2 RS set a new production-car lap at Road Atlanta with a 1:22.649, narrowly beating the C8 Corvette ZR1 by two tenths. The package adds aero, suspension, brakes, and carbon components—and costs about $113,140 on top of the GT2 RS's base price—while keeping the 700 hp twin-turbo flat-six and Michelin Cup tires; driver Jörg Bergmeister credited the upgraded chassis and downforce for the win, signaling Porsche's bid to reclaim performance glory on rival turf.

Manthey-Tuned Taycan Turbo GT Sets New Nürburgring EV Lap Record

Manthey Racing upgrades to the Taycan Turbo GT push Porsche to reclaim the production EV lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, posting 6:55.53. The package includes software tuning, lightweight 21-inch wheels, aero enhancements, bigger brakes, and an Attack Mode that lifts output to 730 kW, shaving about 12 seconds from the previous best. Despite the gain, the Taycan still trails the Manthey-tuned 911 GT3, which recently set a 6:52.981.

Manthey-Kit Porsche GT3 RS Sets 6:45 Nordschleife, Climbs Production Leaders

Manthey Racing's kit-equipped Porsche 911 GT3 RS posted a 6:45.389 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, shaving nearly four seconds off the standard RS and moving to fourth on the all‑time production-car leaderboard (about 16 seconds behind the Mercedes AMG One). The day also featured a 6:40.8 lap by the Ford Mustang GTD Competition, which edged out the Manthey RS, while Manthey’s own GT2 RS previously held the production record at 6:43.3 in 2021. The 992 GT3 RS with Manthey delivers just under 520 hp from its NA flat-six, underscoring a remarkable power-to-pace achievement for a production-based machine.

Manthey's Ultimate GT3 RS: Carbon Fiber, Shark Fin, and 1,000kg Downforce

Manthey Racing has unveiled a new kit for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, transforming it into a more aggressive, track-focused machine with enhanced aerodynamics, suspension, and brakes, but no increase in power. The kit, which includes a carbon fiber rear window replacement, adds significant downforce but reduces top speed, making it a costly option for those seeking a street-legal track car. Despite the high price, the modifications promise improved lap times, though official Nürburgring results are pending.

"Porsche 911 GT3 RS Spotted at Nurburgring Sporting Manthey Kit and Massive Wing"

Manthey Racing is developing a new package for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, as seen in recent spy shots at the Nurburgring. The prototype features an aggressive design with a wider and higher active rear wing, a roof fin, and additional air deflectors. The upgrades are expected to include an improved brake setup, stiffer suspension, and reduced curb weight. The 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine is likely to remain unchanged. The Manthey package is estimated to cost around $57,300, potentially pushing the price of the 911 GT3 RS closer to $300,000.

Manthey's 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR Aims for Nurburgring Domination

Manthey Racing is working on improving the already fast Porsche 911 GT3 RS with aerodynamic enhancements, including a triple-element rear wing, canards, and an enlarged diffuser. These upgrades, along with potential suspension and braking system improvements, could potentially make the GT3 RS MR one of the fastest production cars to lap the Nurburgring. While it may not beat the current record holder, the Mercedes-AMG One, Porsche is also working on a 992 GT2 RS that could potentially challenge for the top spot.
