Manthey’s Porsche 911 GT3 RS Looks Even Crazier Than An Actual GT3 Cup Car

The 992-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS has the most outlandish aerodynamic package of any road-going 911 ever. There’s a huge rear wing, active aero elements under the bodywork, carbon fiber fins behind the wheels, and even special fins on the roof. However, aero can always be taken to the next level and that’s exactly what Manthey Racing is doing.

The racing team is working on a suite of factory-backed upgrades for the 911 GT3 RS that will be available to purchase directly from Porsche dealerships. A prototype was recently snapped at the Nurburgring, and for as wild as the normal GT3 RS is, Manthey’s version somehow makes it look a little undercooked.

Up front, a larger splitter immediately stands out, and like the most extreme splitters out there, it’s connected to struts securing it to the bodywork. Two sleek canards are also found on either side of the bumper and like the standard model, the car includes pronounced vents on the hood and sharp louvers on the front fenders.

Manthey’s wild creation appears to have the two roof fins of the standard model replaced with larger ones and there appear to be as many as eight of them, presumably acting as an extreme vortex generator. But what steals the show is a giant shark fin wing stretching from the roof and connecting to the rear wing. That’s prototype race car stuff.

Speaking of the wing, it too has been upgraded. It appears to sit at roughly the same height as the standard model but is rocking much larger endplates. It also looks to have a DRS function to reduce drag on straights. Manthey’s changes continue with a more dramatic rear diffuser and aero covers on the rear wheels.

Other less obvious changes will be made to the 911, including the fitment of a bespoke coilover suspension system and some aero trickery under the skin.
