We haven’t heard much about the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 since it was announced last August, but spy photographers have apparently snapped a prototype in Meuspath, Germany which is home to Manthey-Racing GmbH.
This is an interesting development as deliveries of the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 were originally slated to begin in January. However, it appears the model may have been delayed and we’ve reached out to Porsche for clarification.
Regardless, the prototype appears virtually identical to CGI pictures of the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 that were released last summer. However, there are a handful of minor differences including additional quick-release latches and an unfinished rear bumper.

That being said, the car was created by Porsche Motorsport to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Manthey-Racing GmbH. The track-day special “bridges the gap between the 991 and 992,” and features a number of upgrades to improve performance.
Among the changes is a redesigned front apron that optimizes airflow and double flics, which help to increase downforce on the front axle. The model also sports a unique carbon fiber hood, which takes inspiration from the 911 GT3 R and features a centrally-located NACA duct as well as two large vents.
Elsewhere, there’s a massive rear wing, front fender vents, and a specially designed engine cover. They’re joined by a new exhaust system and a diffuser that has been optimized by Manthey.
The upgrades don’t end there as the model has been equipped with an FIA-compliant safety cage, 18-inch central locking wheels, and a significantly wider track than the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport. The car also takes some inspiration from the modern-day 935 as the “electronic control systems and steering gear” mirror that model.
Sticking with the performance theme, the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 is equipped with a twin-turbo 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 690 hp (515 kW / 700 PS). It’s connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
Production is limited to 30 units and only six will be headed to North America, where they’ll cost $620,000 before taxes and shipping.
