After a year of ownership, the owner – her_porshce decide to go with the Manthey Racing Performance Upgrade. Can you spot the difference?
The 992 GT3 is a true thoroughbred, powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine that produces 502 horsepower. Paired with a lightning-fast PDK transmission, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.
Their latest creation, the Manthey Racing 992 GT3, takes the GT3 from a very competent track focused sports car to a precision-engineered masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on the track and the open road.
What sets the Manthey Racing 992 GT3 apart is the meticulous attention to detail and performance enhancements: From aerodynamic tweaks to suspension refinements, Manthey Racing has fine-tuned every aspect of the car.
The Manthey Racing 992 GT3 is more than a car; it’s a statement of precision and performance. It’s a reminder that in the world of motorsport, every detail matters, and excellence is the only standard. Whether you’re a racing enthusiast or simply appreciate the artistry of automotive engineering, the Manthey Racing 992 GT3 is a true masterpiece that deserves your attention.
The front lip/front splitter improves aerodynamics by redirecting airflow and increasing downforce, resulting in improved stability and grip during high-speed cornering.
The carbon rear wing, including side plates, generates additional downforce, further enhancing stability and grip.This is why utilizing paint protection film is beneficial in safeguarding the finish of this carbon fiber spoiler. What strikes us is that the spoiler is constructed as a single unit, encompassing both the end plate and the extended flap.
The Manthey Racing carbon fiber aero disc is a key component of the Porsche 992 GT3 Manthey Racing Kit that enhances the car’s performance and aerodynamics, especially in racing scenarios. This product is designed to optimize airflow and increase downforce, thereby improving speed, stability, and overall vehicle handling on the track.
The carbon fiber construction of the aero disc offers several advantages. Firstly, it is lightweight, which helps reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and improve its power-to-weight ratio. Secondly, carbon fiber is known for its strength and rigidity, providing a sturdy and durable component that can withstand the demands of high-speed racing.
By incorporating the Manthey Racing carbon fiber aero disc into the kit, the car’s aerodynamics are significantly enhanced. The disc works in conjunction with other aerodynamic components such as the front lip/front splitter, flics, rear diffuser, and carbon rear wing to optimize the car’s aerodynamic profile. This results in increased downforce, reduced drag, and improved stability, enabling the vehicle to corner faster and navigate tight turns more effectively.
For such expensive wheel cost more than $15000 a set. Ceramic Coating is recommend to protect them because it will make the cleaning process a lot more enjoyable.
To enhance the lightness of this vehicle even further, the conventional wheel design underwent a high-tech optimization process using the 20-/21-inch 911 Manthey lightweight wheel set. The result is a decrease in unsprung and rotational weight by 16.1 lb (7.3 kg) for each vehicle set. This reduction considerably boosts the reactivity of the spring/damper components and further enhances the control of the vehicle. The wheel sets are compatible with their respective tire sizes.
For the front axle: 9.5 J x 20 Offset 46 with 255/35 ZR 20 (97Y) XL tires,
For the rear axle: 12 J x 21 Offset 45 with 315/30 ZR 21 (105Y) XL tires.
The Manthey Racing 4-way Adjustable Coilover System offers a unique combination of adjustability, performance enhancement, and warranty protection, making it an exceptional choice for Porsche 992 GT3 owners seeking to improve their vehicle’s performance on the track.
In the same fashion of Mercedes having Brabus, BMW having Alpina as their independent, yet factory approved tuning branches, Porsche has Manthey. In the world of motorsport, where milliseconds can be the difference between victory and defeat, Manthey Racing’s reputation stood the test of time as a beacon of excellence.
Manthey Racing is synonymous with high-performance excellence, but it’s even more synonymous to Porsche. Founded in 1996 as a German racing team and partly bought by Porsche in 2013, they have proven themselves on some of the world’s most challenging circuits. They have broken records and have countless victories in endurance races and the Nürburgring Nordschleife or the 24 Hours of Le Mans would not be the same without them.
What sets the Manthey Racing 992 GT3 apart is the meticulous attention to detail and performance enhancements: From aerodynamic tweaks to suspension refinements, Manthey Racing has fine-tuned every aspect of the car.
Let’s dig into each aspect of their enhancements.
The Aerodynamics. They won’t steal the show from the active aero wing GT3RS, but the bigger yet one piece carbon fiber rear wing with the built in gurney flap would make any Honda fanboy salivate. The canards on the front bumper, an additional lower front diffuser paired with a full carbon rear diffuser produce lots of downforce, keeping the GT3 MR planted even on the most aggressive cornering.
The Suspension.The OEM suspension on the 992 GT3 was already really good and this has now been changed to a full race KW suspension. One could argue that it would be too harsh and affect daily drivability, but it’s been tuned to provide the perfect balance between a track-focused rocket and a comfy daily driver.
The Wheels and brakes. The wheels on the GT3 were already lightweight, but they got replaced with a custom spoke MR lightweight set enhanced for aero performance. The rear wheels receive a set of external aero disks to clean the air going to the rear diffuser. The braking system, a critical component on any race car, has also been enhanced with steel braided brake lines.
The Cosmetics. Now the GT3 was always an eye catchy machine, but the MR changes don’t stop at performance. The illuminated door sill guard with the Manthey logo, along with the Manthey logo on the end plates of the rear wing and the towing loops make the GT3 even more eye catchy.
Speaking about cosmetics, the same way Manthey worked their magic, we’ve also worked our magic. All the new bits of aero received a thorough restoration to bring out the shine of the dry carbon and PPF is now protecting them from the harshness of the elements and all the track grime. The wing benefits from a one piece PPF layer and this is one of those occasions where it’s easier said than done. The built-in gurney flap was definitely a challenge. The wheel aero disks were also not the easiest ones, especially given their concave shape.
But this was not it. Given that the sister car is a Speed Yellow 997 GT3 and the fact that Yellow and Green do go hand in hand, it only made sense to get the Manthey logo in yellow. This was applied to the rear wing end plates as well as all the MR logo indentations in various plastic panels.
King of the Ring? It’s definitely one of the contenders for the title and the MR 992 GT3 set a 4.19 seconds faster lap time than its “tame” OEM sibling. This achievement is a testament to the engineering prowess and attention to detail that Manthey Racing brings to every project.
The Manthey Racing 992 GT3 is more than a car; it’s a statement of precision and performance. It’s a reminder that in the world of motorsport, every detail matters, and excellence is the only standard. Whether you’re a racing enthusiast or simply appreciate the artistry of automotive engineering, the Manthey Racing 992 GT3 is a true masterpiece that deserves your attention.
