We’ve talked about the nutty-as-a-snickers-bar Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR<\/a> before. In sum, it’s mental. It’s a car designed to be the absolute best that a GT2 RS<\/a> can be.<\/p>\n

Now, however, as the Type 991.2 911 GT3 RS<\/a> starts to wind down production in anticipation of the Type 992 GT3<\/a>, Manthey Racing has sprinkled a little bit of their magic on the car, according to the latest from EVO Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

The result is the Manthey Racing Kit for any Type 991.X style 911 GT3 RS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

Be prepared to pay for the privilege of having said kit, however. Without beating about the bush, the full kit is a hair over $74,800 (\u20ac63,696).<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

What do you get with the kit, you may ask?<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

The two most important parts, that also cost the most, are the suspension and wheels. The fully adjustable coil-over suspension from the 911 GT3-R race car is transplanted into the GT3 RS, and comes at a price of $11,400 (\u20ac9738).<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

The wheels are fully magnesium racing wheels, again transplanted from the 911 GT3-R. You have the choice of silver, black, platinum silver, or gold. They come shod in Michelin Sport Cup 2R semi-slicks, which are barely <\/em>road legal.<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

The tires and wheels together? A “my wallet is now crying” $20,600 (\u20ac17,536).<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

In addition to those bits, you get a full carbon fiber aerodynamic replacement package. Gone is the standard rear wing and front splitter, replaced with aggressive, track-focused pieces including dive canards on the front bumper and an entirely new lower rear venturi shroud.<\/p>\n

\"911<\/p>\n

Brakes and brake lines at all four corners are upgraded to Manthey Racing bespoke pads and discs, and all the brake lines are braided in race-grade stainless steel.<\/p>\n

What you realistically get with your $74,800 is the closest thing, next to a 911 GT2 RS MR, to a 911 GT3-R race car that can still be used for the grocery run. And, by our math, that makes it a worthwhile spend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
