Porsche 991 GT2 RS Clubsport

Het voertuig in detail

Developed to commemorate Manthey Racing’s 25th anniversary, the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 was a limited-production, track-only model developed with Porsche Motorsport. Based near the Nürburgring, Manthey is one of the marque’s most successful racing partners, known for multiple Nürburgring 24 Hour wins and running Porsche’s factory WEC effort. Manthey Racing is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Porsche AG.

Described by Manthey’s managing director Nicolas Raeder as “a milestone” for the company, the Clubsport 25 was engineered with an uncompromising emphasis on performance. Grant Larson of Style Porsche, who oversaw the design, noted the car “amalgamated the strengths of both partners” while bridging the 991 and 992 generations.

Offered at €525,000 ($620,000 at the time), 30 examples were built for 2022 utilizing 2019 serial-numbered tubs, each built to identical specification and reserved for Porsche’s most important clients. All were finished in dark matte gray, with key aerodynamic components accented in Manthey’s signature green and yellow – an homage to the team’s Nürburgring-winning “Grello” GT3 R.

Based on the 991-generation GT2 RS Clubsport, the Clubsport 25 retained the formidable 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, producing 691 hp at 7,000 rpm and 553 lbs./ft. of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. Power was delivered to the rear wheels via a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transaxle, offering explosive acceleration and exceptional circuit performance.

The Clubsport 25 introduced a range of upgrades over the standard model. Adapted from the 911 GT3 R, a centrally mounted radiator improved cooling and offered greater protection in front-end impacts. A redesigned front apron with a central intake and twin flics, along with a closed underbody and reprofiled carbon front lid, enhanced airflow and downforce.
