As a Manthey Certified Porsche Centre, Porsche Centre Oakville is excited to offer the 992 GT3 with the Manthey Performance Kit. The Manthey Kit is the ultimate upgrade and one that enhances the performance and track capabilities of certain models, including the 992 GT3. The kit includes a number of modifications and enhancements across different aspects of the vehicle, all of which elevate different aspects of the vehicle, from aerodynamics to handling to braking, and overall track performance.
“Manthey stands for performance at the racetrack, pure and simple. They are not only fierce competitors in motorsport, but revered experts in aerodynamics and vehicle setup,” saysKjell Gruner, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America.
This collaborative kit between Porsche and Manthey Racing, the winning German motorsport team, is one that we’re thrilled to offer at Porsche Centre Oakville.
Let’s explore some of the key components of the Manthey Performance Kit for the 992 GT3:
Aerodynamic Accoutrements
The 992 GT3 Manthey Kit is most notable for its performance upgrades, but there are clear visual elements in the form of aerodynamic adders that signal the special nature of the build. These upgrades include modifications to the front lip and front splitter, rear diffuser, flics, end places, and a carbon rear wing to increase downforce and improve stability at high speeds. There are also aerodiscs for the rear wheels (for Manthey OM-1 rims only) which further increase efficiency and smooth performance, and the end plates have been outfitted with Manthey logos.
Superior Coil-Over Suspension Setup
Upgrades to the four-way coilover suspension were developed in collaboration with Porsche and Manthey and include adjustable coilover setups with specially tuned dampers and springs, allowing for precise adjustments to the vehicle’s handling characteristics based on track conditions and driver preferences. This means there are four different positions driver’s can access without requiring tools, which see a 10 percent increase in spring rates at the front axle and seven percent on the rear.
Braided Steel Brake Lines
A high-performance brake pad set and braided brake line set, both of which improve braking performance and fade resistance during intense track driving, are available with the Manthey Performance Kit for the Porsche 992 GT3. These ultra responsive brake upgrades are partially responsible for Porsche clocking an upgraded example car at 4.19 seconds faster than the standard 911 GT3 during a test lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife (for a total time of 6:55.737 minutes).
Tire and Wheel Tweaks
Lightweight wheels that reduce unsprung mass by a total of approximately 16 lbs are also offered in the kit. Porsche 992 GT3 owners will also want to consider high-performance tires, which are an add-on option in conjunction with the kit, like Michelin Sport Cup 2 R tires, which the aforementioned Nürburgring example was outfitted with.
The Manthey Performance Kit represents a comprehensive package tailored for Porsche enthusiasts and professional drivers looking for maximum performance. These kits have been designed to achieve optimal performance and safety, drawing from the extensive racing pedigree and expertise of both Porsche and Manthey Racing and we’re pleased to offer them to our customers at Porsche Centre Oakville.
