Serious track enthusiasts in possession of the current Porsche 911 GT3<\/a> can improve their lap times with a performance kit developed by a German racing team that has served as Porsche’s factory team in the World Endurance Championship.<\/p>\n

The racing team is Manthey-Racing, whose Manthey Performance Kit<\/a> for the 992-generation 911 GT3 is now available via select Porsche dealerships in the U.S.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The kit was first announced in 2021 and was shown the following year to shave 4.19 seconds<\/a> from the GT3’s N\u00fcrburgring lap time, bringing the time down to 6:55.737.<\/p>\n

That’s impressive as no change is made to the powertrain. Instead, the kit focuses on improvements to the chassis and aerodynamics.<\/p>\n

The standard chassis upgrades include a four-way coil-over suspension, upgraded brake lines, and as as an option, racing brake pads. Lightweight forged wheels that reduce unsprung mass by about 16 pounds are also available.<\/p>\n

The new suspension means the struts can be adjusted to four positions, and rebound and compression can be tweaked without tools. The spring rates are also tweaked (up 10% at the front and down 7% at the rear) to improve handling at the limit.<\/p>\n

The aero upgrades include a new lip spoiler and flics at the front, an extended diffuser at the rear, and a wider rear wing with end plates and a Gurney flap. Modified air channels under the car also help to increase downforce on the front axle.<\/p>\n

As no change is made to the powertrain, the GT3’s 4.0-liter flat-6 delivers a stock 502 hp to the rear wheels. Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.<\/p>\n

The kit costs $57,300, including installation. An additional $15,500 is required for the wheels.<\/p>\n

Starting in June, Porsche will offer a driving experience at its Porsche Experience Centers in Atlanta and Los Angeles where interested customers can drive a stock GT3 and one fitted with the kit back-to-back in a 90-minute program to compare the difference. The program retails for $1,675. A four-hour program is also planned at the Los Angeles center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
