The Manthey Kit GT3 RS: A Revolutionary Performance Upgrade
The Manthey Performance Kit for the 911 GT3 RS has taken the world by storm, achieving an astonishing lap time of 6:45.389 on the Nordschleife track. This feat is all the more remarkable considering the car's modest 525hp and 347lb ft of torque, outperforming even the most powerful turbo V8s from AMG and Corvette.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is the kit's focus on aerodynamic enhancements. The £100,000 Manthey Kit introduces a ton of downforce at 177mph, thanks to a 963-style fin, while maintaining low drag. This combination of stability and speed is evident during the lap, with the car displaying unerring composure, especially on the fast and medium-speed sections.
Jorg Bergmeister, the driver, praised the car's preparation and the kit's performance, stating, 'The car was perfectly prepared, and I'm really happy with the lap. It's truly amazing how much you can achieve with the Manthey kit.'
The kit's impact is further highlighted by its comparison to a race car on slick tires in specific sections of the track, such as Flugplatz and Mutkurve. The brake changes, including pads and lines, have also contributed to the car's improved performance, allowing for later braking points and better pedal feedback across a wide temperature range.
Despite the high cost of the Manthey Kit, with the gains on offer, it's easy to imagine eager customers signing up. The kit's ability to transform the standard 911 GT3 RS into the fastest version ever made is a testament to its effectiveness. The potential for a Sonderwunsch interior further enhances the appeal, making the Manthey Kit GT3 RS a dream come true for any Porsche enthusiast.
