Manthey Kit Transforms Porsche Taycan Turbo GT into Nürburgring Record-Breaker

Unleash Unprecedented Performance: The Manthey Kit Elevates the Taycan Turbo GT Experience

The Extreme Evolution: How the Manthey Kit Redefines the Taycan Turbo GT's Capabilities

For those who demand beyond the already impressive performance of Porsche's Weissach package, Manthey Racing has engineered an additional level of extreme capability for the Taycan Turbo GT. This collaboration has culminated in a track-focused electric supersedan that has significantly outpaced its previous Nürburgring lap time. The Manthey-equipped Taycan Turbo GT now holds the distinction of being the fastest production electric executive car to conquer the demanding 12.9-mile circuit.

Aerodynamic Dominance and Chassis Refinements: Enhancements of the Manthey Package

While the exact cost of the Manthey kit remains undisclosed, it is expected to add a substantial premium to the 2026 Taycan Turbo GT's base price of over $245,950. This investment brings a host of aerodynamic improvements, most notably tripling the car's downforce. At its top speed of 192 mph, the Manthey-spec Taycan Turbo GT generates an astounding 1631 pounds of negative lift. Visual upgrades include a larger one-piece front lip, carbon-fiber fender flares, and wider side skirts, all contributing to its aggressive, track-ready appearance.

Distinctive Aesthetics and Enhanced Braking: Manthey's Signature Touches and Stopping Power

The Manthey kit also features characteristic rear aerodisc wheels, a massive rear wing, redesigned front and rear diffusers, and underbody modifications that further optimize aerodynamics. The 21-inch forged wheels are both wider and lighter than those on the standard Taycan Turbo GT, with an option for street-legal track tires. Braking performance is significantly boosted by larger front rotors and upgraded pads. Porsche has also refined the Active Ride suspension, along with recalibrating the steering and all-wheel-drive systems for superior handling.

Powertrain Optimization: Boosting Horsepower and Torque for Record-Breaking Performance

The dual-motor powertrain of the Taycan Turbo GT has also undergone significant tuning. The pulse inverter now delivers a maximum current of 1300 amps, an increase from 1100 amps, which directly contributes to higher power output. While the peak horsepower in Launch mode remains at 1019, the peak torque sees an increase of 22 to 936 pound-feet in the same setting. Standard and Attack modes also benefit from power boosts, now reaching 804 and 978 horsepower, respectively.

Nürburgring Dominance: The New Benchmark for Electric Executive Cars

With Porsche development driver Lars Kern at the helm, the Taycan Turbo GT, equipped with both the Weissach and Manthey packages, completed a Nürburgring lap in an astonishing 6:55.533. This represents a remarkable 12-second improvement over the previous record set by the Weissach-only version, which achieved 7:07.55. The Manthey-spec Taycan Turbo GT now firmly establishes itself as the quickest production electric executive car on the iconic Green Hell, surpassing even the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra with its Track package, which posted a 7:04.957 lap.
