After a spectacular record at the Nürburgring, Porsche is selling the Manthey kit that transforms the Taycan Turbo GT into a true circuit weapon.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT was already not an ordinary electric car. With its Weissach package and over 1,000 hp in Launch Control, it ranks among the most high-performance models ever produced by the German manufacturer. Now, Porsche is going even further by offering the Manthey kit for sale, which was previously reserved for a few iconic thermal sports cars of the brand.
The announcement comes a few weeks after a new feat on the Nordschleife. Behind the wheel of a Taycan Turbo GT equipped with this kit, development driver Lars Kern completed the 20.8 km of the Nürburgring in 6 minutes 55 seconds 553. This performance improves upon the previous record set with a standard Taycan Turbo GT by more than twelve seconds and confirms the efficiency of the developments created jointly by Porsche and Manthey.
The goal is clear: to make the large electric sedan an even sharper tool for the track. The kit affects all key areas of performance. Aerodynamics have been thoroughly revised with a new rear spoiler, an optimized diffuser, and several appendages designed to increase downforce. As a result: the Taycan generates more than three times the downforce compared to the standard configuration at equivalent speeds.
Always further, always faster
The mechanics have not been overlooked. Thanks to software optimizations of the battery and power electronics, continuous power increases to 804 hp from 777 hp previously. In Attack mode, the peak now reaches 978 hp.
New lightweight forged wheels, paired with specific Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires, complete the package. The settings of the Porsche Active Ride, the rear-wheel steering, and the all-wheel drive have also been recalibrated.
Then there’s the question of style. While the effectiveness of the kit is beyond doubt, its appearance may provoke more debate. The numerous exposed carbon parts, the fender extensions, and the imposing spoiler display a visual aggressiveness rarely seen on a production Porsche. Where the Stuttgart brand usually cultivates a form of discreet elegance, this kit chooses to ostentatiously showcase its technicality. A choice that is undoubtedly effective in highlighting the radical nature of the whole, but which sometimes lacks the finesse and refinement that Porsche has made its signature over the decades.

Finally, there’s the question of pricing. Although Porsche has not yet detailed its French pricing structure, the Manthey kit is listed at €108,900 in Germany, which is more than a base Taycan. This may seem excessive, but it aligns with the logic of an already exclusive model: the Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package starts at €249,144 in France. Once the kit is added, the bill therefore exceeds €350,000, placing this Porsche in a price range typically reserved for the most prestigious supercars. More than just a simple accessory catalog, this kit represents a genuine technical transformation aimed at a very select clientele, willing to invest generously to possess the most high-performing Taycan ever homologated for the road.
So, one evolves in a different world, but with this Manthey kit, Porsche further pushes the limits of its Taycan Turbo GT and demonstrates that the electric era can also speak the language of absolute performance.
