Breaking News: Sub-6:53 Nürburgring Lap
25 November 2025, Meuspath – DTM champion Ayhancan Güven lapped the 20.8-km Nordschleife in 6:52.981 in a Manthey-kitted 992.2 GT3.
That is 2.76 s quicker than the previous 992.1 Manthey car and only 0.9 s behind the $450 k Ford Mustang GTD.

Aero Upgrades in Detail
-
Front lip extended 12 mm; new diffuser fins and side flaps
-
Under-body turning vanes grow from 0.5 m to 1.5 m, creating a “continuous aero element”
-
Swan-neck rear wing is wider, gains a Gurney flap and curved end-plates
-
Carbon aero-discs on rear wheels cut turbulence; available in colour-match or exposed weave
Switch between Road (355 kg) and Circuit (540 kg) modes by altering wing angle and removing the front number-plate carrier—no tools required.
Suspension & Brakes
Manthey and Porsche co-developed four-way dampers. You dial rebound and compression by hand at the pit wall.
Front springs are 10 % stiffer than the already-firm 992.1 Manthey set-up to balance the higher aero load, yet the car remains “compliant enough for Dubai’s speed bumps”

Braided-steel brake lines are standard; optional PCCB racing pads survive 30-minute track sessions without fade
Weight Savings
Forged 20″ (front) and 21″ (rear) wheels shave 13.2 lb (6 kg) of unsprung weight.
Combined with the standard lithium-ion lightweight battery, the Manthey GT3 weighs 3,211 lb (1,456 kg) with a full tank—55 lb lighter than a Weissach-pack car on cast wheels

Visual & Interior Touches
-
Illuminated Manthey door-sill plates
-
LED puddle lights project Manthey logo onto the pit-lane floor
-
Tow straps (red, yellow, or black) attach to factory threaded holes—remove before road use
All parts are paint-matched or clear-coated carbon, so the car still passes Dubai police luxury-car inspections.
