Four-way coilover suspension, co-developed by Porsche and Manthey, is also offered and can be adjusted without tools, providing the ability to increase spring rates by 10% on the front axle and 7% at the rear. Braided steel brake lines help guarantee repeatable and reliable stopping ability, and you can order special brake pads too. Finally, lightweight forged wheels that save some 16 pounds can be ordered. So what does all of this cost?
The kit without the wheels has a base MSRP of $57,300, and the wheels will set you back an additional $15,500. If you’re not sure about spending that much dosh in one go, Porsche Experience Centers in Atlanta and Los Angeles offer 90-minute sessions for potential buyers to compare a regular GT3 with a Manthey-Racing-equipped variant. The experience costs $1,675, and if you’re still not convinced, you can book an extended four-hour session.
It’s a great opportunity for regular track goers, and we echo the sentiments of Gruner in saying that we “hope to see examples this September at Laguna Seca for Rennsport Reunion 7.”
