It's all the more refreshing when we see a street-legal racing car like this that talks with an open visor – never, maybe, a little, sometimes a weekend driver training with section exercises, drifting exercises on the water circle… The usual answers to the popular question of many Anyone interested in such vehicles… In our case, however, the refreshing answer is: Yes, this 991 GT3 RS has achieved all of that and perhaps more. Because it was designed and built for that. And because he does it best.
To make it even better than the factory, it was re-ground at Manthey Racing and GetSpeed Performance Center Nürburgring. It's not for nothing that both companies are next door to each other in Meuspath and within sight of the most fascinating race track in the world – the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring. And it's not for nothing that the Manthey Racing company is now part of the Porsche Group and is the official contact point for all kinds of work on Porsche vehicles. The team around Manthey and Get Speed knows their craft and has understood and internalized these RS models (remember: still stands for like RennSport) like probably no other team in the world. The team around Manthey and Get Speed have proven their skills countless times by making the vehicles, which are already almost perfect from the factory, even more perfect. This is reflected in fabulous record times around the Nürburgring and shows crystal clear what their fine-tuning is capable of – getting 100% out of 98% sports cars.
This is what our new addition is. No garage queen, no polishing cloth victim, no tire protector stationary vehicle. It was looked after, maintained and optimized exclusively by Manthey and Get Speed. All invoices and evidence are available and in total amount to several tens of thousands of euros. Nothing was saved, nothing was neglected. We have the invoices from the last few years. So we had the fun of adding them up: € 66,537.—. This number can be left alone without comment in order to get an idea of the amounts that go towards optimal support with optimal material at the optimal, specialized company.
To name just a few of the measures here, there is, for example, the KW Competition triple MR chassis, which was installed in 2016 and overhauled at Manthey in 2021 with a mileage of almost 40,000 km. This chassis alone with the KW racing support bearings on the front and rear axles and the Unibal kit for both axles including installation/measuring and weighing amounts to around €20,000.
In contrast, the Race Navigator Kit with Biorics Stress@racing Video Kit, OBD plug-in and several cameras in the vehicle for a good €6000 is almost a special offer.
The Endless brake pads are probably some of the best that a vehicle like this deserves. However, around €2000 is due for both axles if they are changed.
A cage extension for the existing Ü-bar also cost around € 3000.—
The car is “ready to race”. If you want that. If it weren't for the road approval, which is too tempting even for a responsible driver… Anyone who drives this 991 GT3 RS by Manthey on their favorite home track, which they previously thought they knew inside and out, will be surprised. After the trip in question, nothing is the same as it used to be. Regardless of talent, this vehicle pushes new boundaries that really shouldn't be sought on public roads. But even if you stay far below the vehicle's capabilities, even an extremely talented driver will be surprised at how much is still possible… without batting an eyelid.
Now we'll wait for better weather for the photos and in the meantime we'll take care of the complete history of this vehicle so that we can tell you everything you need to know about it. We already know one thing and would like you to know it – it is not a “sleeper” who eked out an existence in an air-conditioned garage under a custom-made paletot.
This GT3 RS was allowed out to hunt.
Because he can do it better than anyone else. The GT3 as a type has built its own monument over the last 25 years. There are now many other alternatives to the GT3 – and yet the bottom line is that the Porsche GT3 is and remains the first choice for everyone who wants the best. No ifs. Without buts. A visit to the Nordschleife on a nice weekend, a look at the parking lot and half an hour on the track provide clarity – around 80% of all serious candidates there are GT3s in all variants.
Feel free to stay curious. As always, a little patience is worthwhile.
