Manthey Racing Package
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS, known on circuits as the "winged monster" and feared by its pursuers, is already setting new standards in the production version - with a radical aerodynamic concept and extensive lightweight construction. A breathtaking super sports car with starting clearance and road approval. Its goal: absolute perfection. Thanks to precisely tuned aerodynamic, chassis and high-performance brake components, the Manthey Racing package can further improve track handling and performance.
911 GT3 RS Manthey Kit
WINNERS NEVER STOP IMPROVING
Manthey has achieved international awareness through successful
racing engagements. Among its greatest motorsport successes are
seven overall victories in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. From a
team that was purely involved in motorsport, Manthey has developed
into a company with five business fields – Racing, Performance,
Engineering, Services and Experiences – and over 300 employees.
This makes the successful racing team the perfect partner for the
development of the kits that are part of the Porsche Performance
Parts. Tested on the racetrack, but suitable for the street, the set-ups
are designed, developed, and brought to production maturity in
close collaboration with long-time partner Porsche.
In two years of development, an impressive kit has been created that
makes the 911 GT3 RS (Type 992) even more powerful on the track.
Like every new project, this one also started with a detailed analysis
of optimisation potentials and the creation of initial component
concepts. Based on this, experts from Manthey and Porsche coordinate
highly functional design concepts and produce the first prototypes.
Afterwards, it is crucial to intensively test and continuously improve
each component – in the wind tunnel and on demanding racetracks.
To reach production maturity, all components must pass extensive
testing procedures and stress tests. Especially during several thousand
kilometres of endurance testing, they have to prove their resilience
according to Manthey and Porsche standards.
THE WILL TO ACHIEVE PERFECTION KNOWS NO LIMITS
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS (Type 992), known on circuits as the “winged
monster” and feared by its pursuers, is already setting new standards
in the production version – with a radical aerodynamic concept and
extensive lightweight construction. A breathtaking supercar that has
a starting licence and is street-legal. Its goal: absolute perfection.
Thanks to precisely tuned aerodynamics, suspension and high-performance brake components, it has succeeded in going beyond the
limits of what was previously possible. Every detail was crucial in the
development and optimisation process, which involved countless
kilometres of testing and racing. For new ideal lines and personal best
times. Highest demands and ambitions. And maximised performance –
combined with increased controllability of the vehicle at the limit.
Aerodynamics Package
In the battle for every millisecond, the engineers at Porsche and Manthey are among the closest partners. Thanks to their uncompromising development work, the new aerodynamics package increases downforce compared to the production car without the Manthey Kit while maintaining the same drag. The spectacular result: over 1,000 kg of downforce at 285 km/h. For higher cornering speeds and maximised vehicle stability. The enlarged front lip with a new wing profile, suspended on carbon reinforcement elements, generates more downforce on the front axle in conjunction with the new wheel house gurneys and flaps.
The smooth underbody connected to the front lip also contributes to a significant increase in downforce on the front axle by improving the overall flow on the underbody. The rear window is replaced by a lightweight carbon cover, which saves 25% of the weight. Mounted on it: the new carbon shark fin to increase stability when cornering. In combination with the six additional roof fins, it also directs the warm exhaust air from the front radiator to the outside – for cooler process air at the rear and therefore even more engine power. The split carbon-fibre DRS wing blade, in conjunction with the enlarged wing end plates, increases downforce on the rear axle and enables faster acceleration out of corners. Also unmissable: the significantly wider rear diffuser. With its longer carbon fins, it transforms the optimised airflow into even more downforce without increasing drag. In addition, the carbon aerodiscs on the rear axle ensure a significant reduction in drag and complete the close interaction of all aerodynamic components to optimise the airflow and maximise overall efficiency.
Semi-Active Coilover Suspension
Eau Rouge, Parabolica, Fuchsröhre: track sections as legendary as
the 911 GT3 RS itself. Nothing has characterised Manthey as much
as the relentless search for the optimum on the racetracks of this
world. The semi-active coilover suspension has also been subjected
to countless endurance tests and perfected further and further. It
provides precise suspension control on every track profile and in
every driving situation.
For more direct handling and improved balance of the 911 GT3 RS,
the spring rates have been optimised (30% on the front axle,
15% on the rear axle) and adapted to the higher downforce values.
In conjunction with a newly developed control unit, four wheel and
three body acceleration sensors ensure even more precise damper
tuning – automatically and in real time. In contrast to the single valve dampers of the standard suspension, the new dampers work
with two separate valves each for compression and rebound damping
and are controlled independently of each other. This ensures even
more precise adaptation to changing driving situations and road
conditions in order to maximise driving stability both on the road and
on the racetrack. Depending on the driving mode (Normal, Sport,
Track), different parameter sets are available for different basic
damper characteristics. In Track mode, the basic set-up can also be
manually adjusted to personal preferences using the steering wheel.
Brake Line Set with Steel Sleeve
Reducing the distance between the braking point and the apex of the
bend by crucial metres is one of the greatest challenges in motorsport. The high-performance brake components of the Manthey Kit
rise to this challenge – and optimise response and stability. The
brake line set with steel sleeve ensures even more direct pedal
feedback and the associated faster response time.
Additional Equipment
When it comes to visual refinement, nothing can stop Manthey and
Porsche. Illuminated carbon door sill panels with Manthey logo in red
and white, LED door projectors with white Manthey logo and foiling
on the carbon aerodiscs in various colours emphasise the sharpened
character of the 911 GT3 RS. In addition, the Manthey logo can be
applied to the vehicle doors in either neodymium, white or black.
Designed for circuit use, there is an optional tow strap that can be
used for both the front and rear sections. It is available in the colours
red, black or yellow and can be fitted in the thread provided. It must
be removed again before being used on public roads.
Note: Approval for road use and warranty remain unchanged. The individual components of the 911 GT3 RS Manthey Kit are precisely matched
to each other. For this reason, they must only be installed together
on the vehicle. Available individual items are shown separately. Due to
the high downforce, only tyres from the manufacturers Michelin (Pilot
Sport Cup 2/R) and Pirelli (P Zero Corsa /Trofeo RS) are approved. For
