With this new adaptable kit, Porsche makes a strong statement: aerodynamic support, suspension, braking… A declaration of war on lap times.
For owners of the 911 GT3, the track is not an occasional playground: it’s a natural habitat. Porsche knows this and takes its iconic sports car, the 911 GT3, even further with a completely reinvented Manthey Kit. More extreme than the Weissach package, it is designed without compromise, purely pilot-oriented… and aesthetically pleasing.
A small detail: delivery will have to wait until March 2026. The good news: this is a kit that can be installed at a dealership, so you can do it when you want later, even in retrofitting.
The result of joint development between Weissach and the engineers of the Manthey team, this kit for the 992.2 generation will retain the full factory warranty. This proves the seriousness and confidence of Porsche which fully embraces the unfiltered DNA of this evolution.

540 kg of downforce at 285 km/h
Here, everything revolves around aerodynamics. The underbody becomes a giant diffuser, the turning vanes now stretch over 1.5 m, the front splitter gains 12 mm, and the flaps redirect the air with surgical precision. At the rear, the “swan neck” mounted spoiler widens, adopts a Gurney flap, and features redesigned endplates. The diffuser also elongates. Even the carbon aerodiscs on the rear wheels contribute to reduced drag. The result: up to 540 kg of aerodynamic downforce at 285 km/h on track.
The suspension is upgraded to four-way threaded coilovers, adjustable without tools. The stiffer springs (+10% at the front) capitalize on unprecedented downforce levels, enhancing grip and stability, even when the GT3 climbs over curbs.
Lighter forged wheels (-6 kg) and racing PCCB brake pads are available to top it off. Braided brake lines are standard.
3 seconds faster at the Nürburgring
Illuminated carbon door sills, personalized LED headlights, colored aerodiscs, tow straps, carbon air intakes and outlets… Porsche offers customers the chance to push their track identity to the very last detail. The price is not yet known, but it should flirt with 70,000 euros!
The truth, as always with Porsche, is measured on the Nordschleife. In the hands of Ayhancan Güven, this 911 GT3 Kit Manthey achieves a time of 6’52″981 on the 20.8 km long layout of the Eiffel. That’s 2.76 seconds faster than the previous generation. And that, on a partially wet track: all the more to look forward to. Manthey is already announcing a new attempt under better conditions to reveal the car’s full potential. We can’t wait!
