Unleashing the Beast 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR Track Spy Shots Revealed

【PhoneAuto News】As the top-of-the-line model of the Porsche 911, the 992 version of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is already one of the most powerful production track cars that anyone can buy. However, Manthey-Racing will further enhance its performance through a series of upgrades. Recently, foreign media have discovered that the prototype of the enhanced 911 GT3 RS by Manthey has been tested at the Nurburgring, where Manthey’s headquarters is located, and the first upgraded models will be launched next year.

Manthey is Porsche’s most successful customer team, winning many races and championships. This success even earned Manthey the opportunity to serve as Porsche’s factory team, such as competing in the World Endurance Championship and providing a range of Manthey upgrades for Porsche. The development of the 911 GT3 RS upgrade is still in the early stages, as there are no significant adjustments at the moment. According to the foreign media, engineers are focused on testing various suspension settings and aerodynamic features located at the bottom of the body.

In terms of aerodynamics, Manthey has a lot of work to do because the current GT3 RS can generate up to 1,895 pounds of downforce at a speed of 177 mph, which is twice that of the 991 generation. For previous 911 GT3 RS models, Manthey’s upgrades include a new rear wing with side plates, wheel arch vents, custom engine hood, air flaps, and custom side skirts. Manthey has also added its own adjustable coilovers, custom brake pads and lines, as well as wheels with aerodynamic wheel covers.

Manthey’s upgrades typically focus on aerodynamics, brakes, and suspension rather than power enhancement. This means that the 911 GT3 RS will likely still produce a maximum power output of 518 horsepower from its 4.0-liter flat-six engine and send the driving force to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Although the peak power may remain unchanged, Manthey’s upgrades should reduce the 911 GT3 RS’s official lap time of 6:49.328 at the Nurburgring.

Earlier this year, Manthey provided upgrades to U.S. customers through Porsche, starting with the upgrade for the 911 GT3. This means that the upgrade for the 911 GT3 RS is also likely to be offered only in the U.S. market.
