Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992.1) with new aerodynamic equipment kit

Expert for high-performance Porsche road vehicles and uncompromising Porsche race cars, Manthey Racing, has unveiled a new equipment kit for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992.1).

The 911 GT3 RS is a true racer, a super sports car that leaves everyone speechless. Now, thanks to aerodynamic components that increase downforce to 1,000 kilograms at a speed of 285 km/h, it raises the bar for all competitors.

Aiming for perfection, Manthey Racing equipped the car with a new front lip spoiler, carbon flaps, a front splitter with wheel arch gurney, roof fins, a carbon fiber shark-Fin with rear window insert, carbon fiber end plates, a two-piece DRS made of carbon fiber, a front axle underbody cover, a rear diffuser, a Manthey decal set, and lightweight carbon wheel covers.

The car also gets a semi-active suspension, new shock absorbers with variable settings, racing-spec brake pads, an illuminated carbon door sill panel and an LED door projector.

There are no changes to the powertrain. The 911 GT3 RS is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 518 hp (386 kW) and 343 lb-ft (465 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch (PDK) transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 184 mph (296 km/h).

Manthey Racing will offer this equipment kit at Porsche centres across the UK for £99,999.

Manhart continues to show why one of the world’s best tuners of BMW cars, and their latest project is the MH2 700 II. It is based on a car that has been the basis for the projects of this German tuner several times, the BMW M2 (G87).

This is not the first time that Manhart “plays” with the last generation of this model powered by an ICE. In April, we saw a unique edition based on this model, the Manhart MH2 GTR II 01 OF 01.

The car is finished in black with a decal set in Champagne, which is standard for most Manhart projects. It is equipped with a carbon kit that includes front bumper inserts, side skirts, and a front spoiler, kidney grille, hood, rear diffuser, rear spoiler and underbody by Alpha-N. Customers can choose between Variant 4 suspension kit or high adjustable spring kit and suspension tuning.

The interior has undergone certain changes. The front seats were retained while the rear seats were removed. A roll bar, harnesses by Schroth with belt tensioner and Manhart floor mats are installed.

The MH2 700 II got a new stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, sport downpipes with 200 cell HJS catalytic converters, 4 x 110 mm Manhart tailpipes in mate black. Customers can also choose a combination of a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, race downpipes without catalytic converters, OPF-Delete pipes with 200 cells HJS catalytic converters and 4 x 110 mm Manhart tailpipes in matte black.

Under the hood is a 3.0-L biturbo engine (S58) with 748 hp (550 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. That’s a significant increase in power compared to the original model with 460 hp (338 kW) and (550 Nm) of torque.
