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.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo will hit the market in 2023

It seems that Porsche, after a long time, is returning its 911 (992) model. For the beginning, there is a new facelift for this sports car, which can be seen in spy photos.

Although at first glance it does not differ from its predecessor, still in the front you can see larger air intakes, round driving lamps on the corners, and LED lights have been removed. The design of the rear part has been retained, and the light bar is now two-part.

Inside, the design is the same as in the current model, only the cluster is covered, so it is hinted that there could be something modern.

Whether there will be changes under the hood is currently unknown. The current Porsche 911 Turbo is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 572 hp (427 kW) at 6,750 rpm and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The Turbo S model uses the same engine with 641 hp (478 kW) at 6,750 rpm and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. They reach 62 mph in just 2.7 (Turbo S) / 2.8 (Turbo) seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 kph) / 199 mph (320 kph). Both models use an eight-speed PDK transmission.

The new 911 model is expected to arrive in 2023.

Porsche 911 Safari on the Nürburgring

As we recently announced, Porsche is intensively testing the new 911 Safari model. This time CarSpyMedia has released a video from the Nürburgring which shows a prototype of a legal-road rally model with off-road capabilities.

The video shows that the suspension is slightly higher than the Carrera 4S on which it is based. It is the same car whose spy photos were recently published.

Although there is no confirmation yet, the Porsche 911 Safari should be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 443 hp (326 kW) and 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of torque. Power will be transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK.

The test model was equipped with 20-inch aluminum rims with 295/40 Pirelli tires. The standard Carrera 4S model reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 kph), and the Safari model is expected to have the same performance.
