Porsche has teamed up with Manthey Racing for the 992.2 GT3 Manthey Kit, transforming the already ferocious 911 GT3 into a track weapon that laps the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes 53 seconds – 2.8 seconds faster than the previous kit. This official upgrade delivers massive aero gains (up to 540kg downforce), sharper handling, and full Porsche warranty preservation.
Perfect for track day enthusiasts who demand stopwatch-proof performance without voiding coverage. Expect pricing around ₹48 lakh premium over the base GT3. For Porsche track upgrades, check our Porsche 911 guide on autotorque.in.
