-
For those unaware, Manthey Racing is a German tuner based at the Nürburgring and has been racing Porsches for 25 years
-
Besides their racing efforts, they also develop performance kits for Porsche road cars, which are available through Porsche Tequipment
-
Porsche owns a 51% majority stake in Manthey-Racing, and in 2021 they became a full motorsport partner for the German brand
-
Mathey recently unveiled their highly-anticipated kit long-awaited kit for the 992 GT3 RS
-
Developed over two years, this new kit for the GT3 RS focuses on four key areas: aerodynamics, weight savings, suspension and brakes
-
Comprising 17 components, the Manthey Kit brings some significant upgrades when compared to the standard 911 GT3 RS
-
If you'll stick around, we'll show you how it differs from the standard GT3 RS; along with some exclusive shots of the global debut from the Icons Of Porsche event, recently held in Dubai
-
In order to improve downforce, the kit features a significantly enlarged spoiler lip up front, redesigned wheel arch Gurney flaps, and two dive planes on each side of the front bumper compared to the standard GT3 RS
-
Here's a closer look at the differences between the two cars upfront
-
Aerodynamics play a crucial role in any track-bred model and the GT3 RS is no exception. The standard variant has two roof strakes, along the edges
-
The function of the additional strakes is to take heat coming from the front radiator, and prevent it from entering the rear engine air intake
-
On the GT3 RS MR, you get six additional roof strakes, for a total of 8. They act as Vortex generators. Along with a Carbon-fiber sharkfin, it helps direct the air toward the massive wing for improved straight-line stability
-
This is complemented by a swan-neck mounted split-carbon fiber DRS wing, resulting in increased downforce and reduced drag
-
Manthey's kit also features aerodynamic hubs for the lightweight magnesium rear wheels. They work together with the rear diffuser and wing to enhance downforce
-
At the rear, a wider diffuser and elongated carbon fiber fins enhance downforce without increasing drag. This was a significant challenge for Manthey Racing
-
A closer look at the rear diffuser reveals that it is much more substantial, compared to the standard GT3 RS and has double radi
-
Manthey notes that a long diffuser on the standard GT3 RS extending to the underbody breaks the air flow. To address this, Manthey includes not one, but two kinks to maintain a steady air-flow
-
With the aerodynamic upgrades, downforce has increased by 20% over the standard GT3 RS. 2,204 lbs compared to 1,895 pounds at 177 mph
-
The standard GT3 RS already packs extensive CRPF (Carbon-fiber reinforced plastic) components. This top-down shot gives is a great view of the CRPF hood, roof, doors, and wing
-
The rear window has been replaced by a carbon fiber panel that is 25% lighter than the standard GT3 RS. The extensive use of carbon fiber means the weight savings should be substantial
-
Semi-active coil-over suspension along with four sensors for the wheels and three body acceleration sensors allow automatic damper tuning
-
This combined with spring rates increased by 30% on the front axle and 15% on the rear axle has helped improve the handling
-
Steel-sheathed brake lines have been added for improved pedal feel and response
-
The kit also includes racing brake pads specially optimized for track days
-
As for visual upgrades, the kit comes with a plethora of logos and decals, including door illuminated door sills
-
As for power upgrades, Manthey hasn't carried out any engine or transmission upgrades
-
Overall, the additional hardware and tweaks helps reduce dive, pitch, and roll during cornering, providing a more stable platform at high speeds
-
While official lap times are pending, based on extensive testing on racetracks, significant improvements are expected compared to the standard model
-
The 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS will set you back $244,995 before you start adding options
-
Add a few options and the Manthey kit and you are looking at a car that costs quite a bit more
-
We got an up-close look at the 992.1 Porsche 911 GT3 RS with Manthey Kit, which made its global debut at the 'Icons Of Porsche' event in Dubai
-
Here's a closer look at the eight vortex generators along with the carbon-fiber sharkfin and rear carbon fiber panel, instead of the rear windshield
-
The rear fin was in fact inspired by the 963 Hybrid racecar, also present at the event
-
Larger end plates enhance aerodynamics by preventing air from spilling off the wing tips
-
The carbon-fiber aero discs for the light-weight magnesium wheels, aid in improving rear-end downforce

The 997 and 992 Sport Classic are both limited run models that have some similarities and differences
-
The 997 and 992 Sport Classic were both inspired by the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS
-
The 997 Sport Classic was introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show
-
Based on the Carrera S platform, the 997 Sport Classic had a slightly more powerful engine, producing around 23 horsepower more
-
The 2023 Porsche 992 Sport Classic was based on the 992.1 Turbo, but featured a few important distinctions
-
Its 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-6 was de-tuned from 572 hp to 542 hp and 442 lb-ft
-
This was still a lot more than the 997 Sport Classic's 402 hp and 310 lb-ft
-
The 992 Sport Classic was converted to rear-wheel drive and features a 7-speed manual transmission
-
The 997 Sport Classic's 6-speed manual with a 3.44 mechanical, limited-slip differential
-
Visually, the iconic ducktail spoiler and Fuchs wheels are present on both 911 Sport Classic models, but the ones on the 992 are center-lock

These spy shots by CarSpyMedia show a 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR, which is a collaboration between Porsche and Manthey Racing, aimed at enhancing the performance of the standard GT3 RS
-
The MR features aggressive aerodynamics, including a massive swan-neck rear wing, vortex generators, and a redesigned rear diffuser, to increase downforce and stability
-
Additional aero enhancements include a redesigned front splitter with dive planes, larger canards, and a huge horizontal fin replacing the rear window
-
Manthey is also likely to offer adjustable coil over suspension for better adjustability
-
Lightweight magnesium wheels with aero discs upgraded brakes and braided lines
-
The MR is expected to significantly improve the GT3 RS's lap times on the track
-
But it won't be eligible for official Nürburgring records for a production car, due to being an aftermarket kit
-
The Manthey Performance Kit for the 911 GT3 is expected to be more expensive than the existing kit for the standard GT3's $60,500 asking price
-
While the MR is a track-focused machine, it remains to be seen how many GT3 RS owners will actually take advantage of its extreme capabilities
-
Given that the car in the spy shots looks production-ready, the official announcement should be soon.

Porsche commemorates 50 years of the original Turbo is by offering a limited-production model with a special appearance package
-
However, one Reddit user decided to spec a regular Turbo S as close as possible to a Turbo S 50 Years
-
It turns out you can save around $30,000 by NOT going for the special version
-
The Turbo S 50 Years is, essentially, an appearance package
-
Additional badging with golden accents is exclusive to the 50th annviersary edition
-
The appearance of the 50 Years model features a unique "Turbo 50" badge on the rear decklid
-
You can spec the interior in a classic theme, featuring Tartan and dark-grey inserts, instead of gloss-black
-
The Turbo S 50 Years has exclusive wheel finish in silver and satin, which the regular car doesn't have

Mechanically, the Turbo S 50 Years features the same 640-horsepower flat-six engine
-
This is the Turbo S 50 Years, spec'd without the optional decals
-
When configured similarly, the regualr Turbo S and the 50 Years have a price difference of over $27,000
-
Spec'd to look as close as possible to the 50 Years edition, the 992 Turbo S will set you back $269,785
-
While the 50 Years package, equipped with a few options encrouches on the $300,000 mark

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is insanely capable and costs a pretty penny, but one car matches its speed for half the price
-
Codenamed "Blue Devil", the 2009 C6 Corvette ZR-1 is capable enough to embarrass most exotic cars

The second-generation Mercedes AMG GT coupe openly throws the gauntlet at the 911 Turbo S
-
AMG's new sports coupe features a powerful PHEV powertrain in its range-topping trim
-
The GT63 S E Performance still relies on a twin-turbo V-8, but now, it's backed by an e-motor for a total system output of 816 hp
-
The combined torque of the hybrid powerplant is also impressive - 1,047 lb-ft
-
However, the GT63 S E Performance pays the ultimate price. At over 4,600 pounds, it's much heavier than the heaviest 911
-
But that doesn't stop the Mercedes from blasting to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds
-
The GT63 PHEV is also capable of driving almost 8.1 miles on electric power alone
-
While you can charge the 6.1 kWh battery through an AC charger, it's best to let the car recuperate lost energy while driving

-
But it now features rubber floormats and green "Offroad" accents
-
The 992 Safari gets new exhaust, engine software, and air filters for a slight bump in power
-
So the 3.0-liter, twin-turbo boxer engine is expected to make a lot more than the conservative 380 hp Porsche claims
-
A real bargain: this 911 Safari went under the hammer for $138,000 - a fraction of the Dakar's price tag
