Porsche 996.2 GT3 MR with complete Manthey Performance Package. Engine upgrade to 3.9 litres according to the N24 winner of 2006. All Manthey Performance parts used that were available at the time and which are nowadays very hard to find. The car is in a very well kept and recently fully Manthey revised state.

The 996 GT3 was the first Porsche roadcar that Manthey-Racing improved through their vast knowledge racing Porsches in professional Motorsports. Manthey had won the class at the 1999 Le Mans 24h with a 996 GT3-R and achieved their first overall victory on home ground at the 24h of the Nurburgring with the now famous yellow-green 996 GT3-MR in 2006.

The Nurburgring winner served our 996.2 GT3 MR as a role model and was completed in 2007 for the first and only owner – a friend of Olaf Manthey – using every Manthey Performance part available at the time.

At the heart of the build sits the engine, which was upgraded to the same 3.9 litre capacity as the Nurburging winner. The test bench protocol on file shows a nominal power output of 450 HP and 451 Nm of torque. In combination with the performance optimized engine the car received the Manthey-Racing upgrade for the gearbox to cope with the higher torque level. Additionally the standard GT3 wheels were exchanged with BBS lightweight Magnesium wheels, which were specially produced for Manthey and were amongst the lightest 18-inch wheels at the time. Aerodynamics have been improved through a Manthey developed carbon rear wing and a carbon front splitter. The racing suspension uses KW parts that were specially developed by Manthey-Racing. Additional lightweight measures include a special exhaust system, Manthey-Racing seats and a carbon-kevlar front hood – the original hood is still with the car.

All those measures result in a complete transformation of the base 996.2 GT3. Almost peak torque is available between 4.500 and 7000 rpm. The steering is very direct and precise and thus the car feels light and nimble and would surely still be great fun and high performing at any given trackday.

The 996.2 GT3 MR comes from it’s first owner, who commissioned the build at Manthey-Racing in 2007. It was regularly serviced at Manthey and just recently underwent a major 28.000 € service by the same race mechanic, who initially planned and build the car back in 2007.

A very rare opportunity to buy a 996.2 GT3-MR that was fully upgraded with all Manthey Performance parts available from the first owner in a completely revised state.
