Porsche 911 GT3 Touring with Manthey Kit

The German auto racing team Manthey-Racing has been cooperating with Porsche for years, and now they have prepared a special Manthey Kit for the track-focused Porsche 911 GT3 Touring.

The current generation Porsche 911 GT3 is a truly remarkable car even without the Touring Package. Thanks to ingenious aerodynamics, cornering remains impressive, even without a large rear wing. Manthey-Racing took it to a higher level by installing a coilover suspension, front lip, air guide elements on the underbody, upgraded brake pads and brake lines as well as a carbon fiber diffusor for improved aerodynamics.

Manthey-Racing has shown that better performance doesn’t always require more power. Under the bonnet is still a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine with 510hp (375 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or automatic seven-speed transmission (PDK). Manthey Kit also includes an optional lightweight wheel set that saves you 7.3 kg of weight compared to the stock wheels.

In 2022, the same company equipped this model with the Manthey Performance Kit, thanks to which the Porsche 911 GT3 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife set a lap time of 6: 55.74. That’s 4.19 seconds faster than the standard 911 GT3 which set a lap time of 6: 59.93 the year before. The same can be expected with the Manthey Kit.

Porsche 911 GT3 with Manthey Racing equipment kit

German company Manthey Racing, which is upgrading Porsche racing models and 911 that can also be used on public roads, brings a special equipment kit for the current Porsche 911 GT3.

To make the fast 911 GT3 even faster, Manthey Racing has prepared a set of newly developed carbon body components such as a larger rear diffuser, which separates this car from the rest of the 992 Series. The upgrade package brings multi-adjustable suspension, improved brakes that will cope even better with the challenges of chasing the track, 408 mm front discs and 20 and 21-inch wheels, but also interesting aero covers on the rear gold OM-1 rims.

This time, the improvement did not include interventions under the hood. Thus, the Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by an atmospheric 4-liter flat-six engine with 510 hp (375 kW) at 8,400 rpm and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic PDK transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 198 mph (318 kph).

The current 911 GT3 has a lap time of six minutes and 59.9 seconds on the Nürburgring. It would not be a surprise if we soon see an improved Porsche 911 GT3 on the same track.
