“We are proud that Lars Kern was able to improve the lap time of the 911 GT2 RS in this way thanks to the Performance Kit, developed together with Porsche and optimised in many areas,” says Nicolas Raeder, Managing Director of Manthey-Racing GmbH. This is made possible thanks to a new rear spoiler, a modified diffuser and aerodiscs on the rear wheels. Downforce increases from 49 to 70 kilograms at 200 km/h, and on the rear axle from 93 to 200 kg at the same speed. Additional flaps on the front spoiler increase downforce on the front axle in combination with a carbon underbody and additional air guide elements in the area of the front wheels. The aerodynamic components are the first things you notice. Individual offerings are currently being evaluated,” says Alexander Fabig, Vice President Individualisation and Classic at Porsche AG. As a result, the kit is only available at the moment as a whole package. They only become fully effective when they are all installed together.
“The individual components of the Performance Kit are precisely matched to one another. It also includes the Weissach Package's light magnesium alloy wheels.
The Manthey Performance Kit from Porsche Tequipment consists of chassis, aerodynamic and brake components specially developed for the 911 GT2 RS. Components precisely matched to one another It is truly breathtaking how the car puts its 700 PS down, and how incredibly well it brakes while always remaining easy to control,” says Kern. “The 911 GT2 RS sticks to the track like glue with the Manthey Performance Kit – you feel as if you’re in a racing car, especially on faster corners. “The engineers at Manthey and Porsche have together developed a perfectly tuned package that allows the 911 GT2 RS to deliver even higher performance." Lars Kern broke the record despite high-summer conditions and a track temperature of 41 degrees. “Our GT customers often use their cars on circuit, such as on track days,” says Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Model Lines 911/718. Kern achieved this with flying colours at the wheel of the 911 GT2 RS, beating the previous time by 4.747 seconds on road-legal Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres, at an average speed of 185.87 km/h. The plan was to beat the existing 6:48.047 road-car record. Previous record for production vehicles beaten by 4.747 seconds Their cars must first be inspected by a Porsche Centre. In addition, owners of all Porsche 911 GT2 RS models that were fitted with the Manthey kit before 1 July 2021 can now recover their Porsche Approved Warranty. It will gradually be made available in other markets.

The Porsche development driver Lars Kern was behind the wheel of the sports car.Ĭustomers in Europe can order the Manthey Performance Kit now from Porsche Tequipment in Porsche centres. The new performance kit was developed in close collaboration between the Porsche engineers in Weissach and the Nordschleife specialists at Manthey in Meuspath. This is the fastest ever lap of the track which has been nicknamed the Green Hell in a road-legal car. On Monday 14 June 2021, the 515 kW (700 hp) Porsche 911 GT2 RS with the Manthey Performance Kit lapped the 20.8-kilometre circuit in the presence of a notary in 6:43.300 minutes. Porsche has set a new record on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in collaboration with Manthey-Racing GmbH.
