The Manthey-tuned Porsche 911 GT3 RS could shave 8 seconds off its Nürburgring lap time, delivering unprecedented aerodynamics and precision engineering.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS, already a lap-time legend, is about to become even faster thanks to Manthey Racing’s engineering wizardry. The upgraded version of the 992-generation GT3 RS, unveiled last week, could potentially slash eight seconds off its Nürburgring lap time, pushing its performance to a jaw-dropping 6 minutes 36 seconds.
Precision Without More Power
What’s remarkable about the Manthey-tuned GT3 RS is that it achieves this feat without increasing engine power. Instead, it leverages advanced aerodynamics and suspension upgrades. Key enhancements include a massive rear wing, aerodynamic roof fins, a rear diffuser, a flatter underbody, and cutting-edge aero-disc wheels. Together, these upgrades optimize airflow and downforce to deliver unparalleled speed.
Engineering the Ultimate Lap Time
Manthey Racing has also fine-tuned the car’s spring rates, brakes, and dampers to ensure it handles the Nürburgring’s infamous twists and turns with razor-sharp precision. The result is a GT3 RS that’s not just faster—it’s more composed and responsive, making it a formidable machine for professional drivers and enthusiasts alike.
Chasing Nürburgring Glory
While this time improvement still leaves it behind the current record-holder, the Mercedes-AMG One, a lap of around 6m 36s cements the Manthey GT3 RS as one of the fastest cars ever to tackle the “Green Hell.” In the world of lap times, eight seconds is a monumental leap, underscoring Manthey Racing’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance.
A Serious Machine, Made “Serious-er”
With no additional power but a host of innovative upgrades, Manthey’s GT3 RS exemplifies how meticulous engineering can transform an already extraordinary vehicle into a track-conquering beast. For those seeking the ultimate Nürburgring experience, this car is in a league of its own.
Porsche enthusiasts, take note—the bar for performance has been raised yet again.
