Porsche Tequipment — the brand’s standard equipment — is offering a Manthey Performance Kit for the current 911 GT3 that helps the car deliver better circuit performance.
A test run by the Stuttgart-headquartered company revealed that the 911 GT3 fitted with the new circuit-optimized components — and powered by an engine that can deliver 503 horses — covered the north loop of the Nürburgring track (Nordschleife) in 6:55.737. The lap time is 4.19 seconds faster compared to the same vehicle without the body kit.
The new kit was created in collaboration between the Porsche engineers in Weissach and the Nordschleife specialists from Manthey in Meuspath.
In a statement, Porsche said that the Manthey Performance kit sports a larger spoiler lip and side flaps at the front; modified air guide elements on the underbody; wider swan-neck-supported wing, and a tear-off edge (gurney).
It also features enlarged Manthey logos, as well as extended rear diffuser fins, and rear wheel aero discs that are made of carbon-fiber reinforced polymer.
Further, Porsche also has a special four-way coilover suspension system for the 911 GT3. The suspension struts can be adjusted to four positions, and rebound and compression can be tweaked without tools. “The moderate changes to the spring rates (10 percent higher on the front axle, seven percent lower on the rear) contribute to improve on-the-limit handling, without making any compromises necessary when it comes to day-to-day usability,” the company explained.
Meanwhile, customers may have the lightweight forged wheel set with 20- and 21-inch rims as option for the Porsche 911 GT3 and are available in Brilliant Silver, Dark Silver, Neodyme and satin-gloss Black. Special racing brake pads are offered as an option for the 911 GT3 with the Manthey Performance Kit.
Moreover, the Manthey Performance Kit comes with a set of brake lines with steel braids as standard.
To further enhance aesthetics, door projectors and illuminated door sill guards with the Manthey logo are also featured as part of the package, along with a towing loop.
Priced at €37,911 (around P2.1 million) plus taxes, Porsche said that customers in Europe can now order the Manthey Performance Kit and assured that other markets will also soon follow.
Since the kit is under the brand, the manufacturer’s warranty on the 911 GT3 remains in full effect.
