Few cars embody motorsport technology as vividly as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Now, the Manthey Kit pushes its track performance to the next level. Porsche unveiled this enhancement package during the world premiere at the Icons of Porsche festival in Dubai, showcasing revolutionary aerodynamics, advanced suspension, and optimized braking components that elevate its capabilities on the racetrack.
Enhanced Aerodynamics for Unmatched Downforce
The Manthey Kit introduces significant changes to the aerodynamic components, making the 911 GT3 RS a visual and performance standout. The enlarged spoiler lip with carbon-fiber supports, redesigned Gurney flaps, and dual dive planes improve front axle downforce. The rear aerodynamics have also been transformed with a lightweight carbon-fiber rear window featuring a shark fin for better cornering stability.
The split carbon-fiber DRS wing, enhanced end plates, and extended rear diffuser maximize downforce without added drag. Combined with carbon-fiber aerodisc wheel covers, these enhancements deliver more than 1,000 kilograms of downforce at 285 km/h, allowing for higher cornering speeds and exceptional stability in high-performance scenarios.
Semi-Active Suspension for Superior Stability
The semi-active coilover suspension adapts seamlessly to the car’s increased downforce. Spring rates are up by 30% at the front and 15% at the rear, enhancing vehicle control. Advanced shock absorbers, controlled independently via two separate valves, provide rapid, precise adjustments to varying conditions. The system features distinct settings for Normal, Sport, and Track modes, with manual tuning available in Track mode for tailored performance.
Optimized Braking System for Track-Day Precision
The Manthey Kit’s braking components are engineered for track dominance. Steel-sheathed brake lines enhance pedal feedback, while optional racing brake pads for the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system improve fade resistance, responsiveness, and durability. These features ensure consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures, making the 911 GT3 RS a reliable performer on demanding circuits.
Customizable Accessories for Personalization
Owners can accentuate the individuality of their 911 GT3 RS with unique accessories. Carbon-fiber illuminated door sill guards, customizable decals, and colored towing eyes add visual flair, while LED door projectors enhance the premium feel. These details underscore the car’s blend of motorsport heritage and modern customization.
Track-Proven Performance
Porsche Brand Ambassador Jörg Bergmeister highlights the impact of the Manthey Kit: “The 911 GT3 RS is more stable aerodynamically, with reduced pitch and roll, offering consistent high downforce across all conditions.” Manthey Racing Managing Director Nicolas Raeder echoes this, noting the extensive development and testing that promise significantly improved lap times. An official Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time is anticipated soon.
Availability
The Manthey Kit for the 911 GT3 RS is now available for order, with installations beginning in March 2025 at Porsche Centres. The enhancements come with the reassurance of an unaffected manufacturer’s warranty.
