Manthey Now Offers Its Wild GT3 RS and GT2 RS Kits to Customers in the US
The advanced upgrade packages enhance downforce and improve track capabilities of the most exhilarating contemporary 911 models.
- The kits alone almost cost as much as a base Porsche 911.
- The GT3 RS kit produces over 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg) of downforce at 177 mph.
- Manthey will start deliveries in the US this spring.
Americans who yearn for the ultimate on-track performance for their Porsche 911s can now order two of Manthey’s spectacular upgrade kits. The first has been developed for the latest-generation 911 GT3 RS, while the second is for the 991-generation 911 GT2 RS, which has been out of production since 2020. Both kits are available from 45 different Porsche Centers across the country.
The folks over at Manthey unveiled their kit for the GT3 RS in November last year. It takes what is already one of the most insane street-legal cars on the planet and turns the dial up to 11. The aerodynamic changes mean that an upgraded GT3 RS delivers more than 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg) of downforce at 177 mph. That downforce number isn’t the only figure that’ll leave owners with teary eyes. The kit is also very expensive, priced at $116,160.
No stone has been left unturned in overhauling the GT3 RS. There’s a thoroughly updated front fascia with a new splitter, dive planes, and revised gurney flaps on the front wheel arches. Manthey’s also crafted carbon fiber skirts for the car, a huge shark fin, and an enlarged rear wing with DRS functionality. The rear window has also been ditched and replaced with a lightweight carbon panel.
Due to the immense downforce generated by the Manthey kit, the GT3 RS required modifications to its suspension setup and a recalibration of the spring rates. To enhance performance, acceleration sensors have been incorporated, allowing the dampers to adapt automatically based on the vehicle's speed. Additional enhancements include reinforced steel brake lines, illuminated sills, and distinctive Manthey branding.

The 911 GT2 RS package isn’t quite as extreme but is still very pricey at $113,140. Key aero changes include the new front spoiler flaps, a carbon fiber underbody, a modified rear diffuser, and a new wing. Manthey’s also worked its magic on the coilovers and added the same magnesium alloy wheels as offered with the car’s Weissach Package from the factory.
The GT3 RS and GT2 RS kits can now be ordered, with deliveries expected to commence this spring.
