Porsche and Manthey Unveil 992.2 911 GT3 Kit With Up to 540 kg Downforce

The factory-approved kit concentrates on aero and suspension to deliver major downforce gains, enabling a verified 6:52.981 Nordschleife lap.

Overview

  • Porsche and Manthey co-developed the OEM-approved upgrade, with U.S. sales through certified Porsche Centers from spring 2026; pricing is unannounced.
  • The package targets aerodynamics and chassis setup only, leaving the 4.0-liter flat-six and output unchanged.
  • Downforce rises to roughly 355 kg in road mode and up to about 540 kg at 177 mph in maximum track settings.
  • Key hardware includes a 12 mm longer front lip, a larger swan-neck rear wing with Gurney flap and end plates, extended underbody turning vanes, longer diffuser fins, carbon wheel covers, and bespoke four-way coilovers with a 10% stiffer front rate.
  • A Manthey-equipped 992.2 GT3 lapped the Nürburgring in 6:52.981 with Ayhancan Güven driving, 2.76 seconds quicker than the previous Manthey-equipped 992.1 GT3.
