Porsche 911 GT3 RS with Manthey Kit: track-ready performance redefined
Porsche, in collaboration with Manthey Racing, introduces a kit specifically designed to enhance the track performance of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (type 992). With major aerodynamic upgrades, optimised semi-active suspension, and braking components tailored for track-day demands, this kit delivers unprecedented stability and cornering speeds. Designed for demanding supercar enthusiasts, the Manthey Kit is for drivers seeking the ultimate circuit experience.
Optimised Aerodynamics: Over a Tonne of Downforce at High Speed
The visual impact of the Porsche GT3 RS equipped with the Manthey Kit is instantly striking, thanks to aerodynamic enhancements aimed at maximising downforce while minimising drag. At 285 km/h, the vehicle generates over 1,000 kg of aerodynamic downforce.
At the front, a reworked spoiler and “dive planes” enhance stability, while Gurney flaps efficiently redirect airflow. At the rear, a lightweight carbon rear window, reduced by 25% in weight, incorporates a “shark fin” inspired by endurance championship prototypes for improved cornering stability. The extended rear diffuser and carbon aero discs further optimise airflow for maximum efficiency.
These components, combined with fine-tuned adjustments, guarantee increased cornering speeds and unparalleled handling, even under the extreme conditions of track driving.
Suspension and Braking: Precision Engineered for the Circuit
The semi-active suspension of the Manthey Kit features reinforced springs, with a 30% increase at the front axle and 15% at the rear. The system uses four wheel sensors and three acceleration sensors to automatically adjust the dampers, providing instant responses to changes in trajectory or track irregularities. In Track mode, drivers can fine-tune settings via steering wheel controls to match their driving style.
On the braking front, specially designed pads for Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) ensure optimal fade resistance and exceptional consistency under high temperatures. Steel-braided brake lines further enhance pedal responsiveness, allowing for precise control at high speeds.
This expertly engineered kit from Porsche and Manthey Racing elevates the 911 GT3 RS to new heights, offering an unparalleled track experience for the most discerning drivers.
