The Manthey Kit elevates the aerodynamics more aggressively than any standard package, adding about 2,200 pounds of downforce without voiding the warranty. Enhancements include:
- Rear carbon fiber wheel aero covers to reduce drag
- Enlarged front carbon fiber lip
- Gurney flaps on the fenders
- Carbon fiber rear panel with a shark fin and roof deflectors
- Extended rear diffuser
- Towering rear wing
This results in approximately 500 pounds more downforce than the standard GT3 RS.
The GT3 RS Manthey Kit enhances handling with:
- 30% stiffer front springs and 15% stiffer rear springs
- A new control unit for faster damper response
- Manual damping adjustments in Track mode
Given the increased corner speeds, the braking system receives crucial upgrades:
- Steel-sheathed brake lines
- Optional special racing pads for Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes
Beyond performance, subtle vanity options allow for further personalization:
- Illuminated "MANTHEY" door sill plates
- Colored rear wheel aero decals
- A towing loop available in red, black, or yellow (avoid driving with it exposed on public roads)
While an official Nürburgring time hasn't been set, Porsche anticipates a faster lap with the Manthey Kit. The kit is available now, with European deliveries starting, and global shipping expected by March 2025. It's a premium investment, promising exceptional performance.
Summary: The Porsche 911 GT3 RS Manthey Kit significantly boosts the car's aerodynamic performance, delivering immense downforce and enhanced handling. While we're still waiting for confirmed lap times, it's set to be a top choice for enthusiasts seeking extreme performance enhancements.
