In the same way that the 992.2 Porsche 911 GT3 was given small but impactful improvements over the previous iteration, so too has the new Manthey Kit released today. After a year in development, Manthey claims that their freshest reimagination of uncompromising performance “pushes the limits between racetrack and road”.
The Manthey Kit, as its name suggests, is offered as a package of upgrades to help achieve this goal. The standard offeringโwhich retails for โฌ41,911โincludes a concert of aerodynamic components which increase overall downforce to 540 kg at a speed of 285 km/h. Manthey says that this adds no additional drag while improving peak downforce by 100%. These aero components make up much of the cost of the entire Kit, and feature the likes of carbon aero wheel discs, front and rear underbody/diffuser panels, a larger rear wing, and more.
Also part of the Kit are track-optimized adapted springs, steel brake lines, racing compound brake pads, and special Manthey carbon/illuminated door sill guards. As per tradition, a variety of optional equipment can be added to the Kit or purchased separately, with notable components such as lightweight magnesium wheels, fully aluminum 4-way adjustable dampers, and a carbon kit, made available for those who want to take things to the next level.
Under “less than ideal conditions”ย current DTM champion Ayhancan Gรผven was still able to pilot a Manthey 992.2 GT3 around the Nรผrburgring Nordschleife in just 6:52.981. Despite having to traverse plenty of damp patches amid frosty temperatures, the car managed to be faster than the Manthey 992.1 GT3 by 2.76 seconds. As part of the Porsche Tequipment catalogue, all Manthey parts can be ordered via a Porsche Center and cars will also retain their factory warranty if installation is performed at the dealer.
