The canards behind the front and rear wheels were slightly larger, and hidden behind the front canard on the driver's side was a decal, that I can't figure out what it is, but a couple of my viewers suggested that it's Marty from the Movie Madagascar, wearing a helmet. So what do we think, are they right? And if it is Marty, why is he there? Maybe because of the black and white motif of the splinter camouflage? I don't know, but if anyone has an idea, let me know in the comments. One of the prototypes had also been spotted with an aero disc mounted to the rear wheel
At the back of the car, the swan neck spoiler had evolved into a conglomeration of spines and fins and plates. And mounted to the rear window, or what used to be the rear window, is a huge horizontal fin that helps provide lateral stability at extremely high speeds.
The once enormous biplane wing had become an enormous *triplane* wing, and at either side of this enormous wing were a set of equally enormous endplates that featured a unique jagged rear edge. The endplates also angled out to a more extreme degree. And holding up this huge conglomeration of weight and downforce were a set of reinforced swan-neck vertical supports.
On the roof, the two vertical fins had been replaced by two sets of 3 fins, now giving the car 6 in total. The additional fins were most likely installed to stabilize the air before it contacts the rear wing cluster.
And at the rear was a complex system of electric harnesses running from various points at the back of the car into an opening in what used to be the rear window. And the bottom had been fitted with a new 911 RSR inspired diffuser.
I thought the *last* time we saw this car it was insane, but Manthey racing continues stacking aerodynamics ontop of aerodynamics ontop of aerodynamics.
A few days ago the GT3 RS MR, and Marty, reappeared with *even more* aerodynamic modifications, but before we get into those, can we just talk about how ridiculously long the nose has gotten?!?
To better balance out the downforce generated by that huge triplane rear wing, the front splitter has been extended even further, and it expands into a raised ridge to deflect air around the front wheels, and 2 metal support rods have been added to keep the splitter from bending under the tremendous air pressure that it generates. Manthey has also closed off the wheel gaps between the front fascia and the tires.
The six fins on the roof have been increased to 8 fins, and the huge rear diffuser continues to be developed.
It's believed that this car has not received an increase in horsepower, but there should be plenty of other upgrades, including four-way coilover suspension, competition brake pads, stainless steel-braided brake lines and ultralight wheels, just to name a few.
But one of the biggest questions about this car is: Why is Manthey making it? Are they trying reclaim the Nurburgring laptime record from the mercedes AMG 1, which is 6 minutes and 30 seconds, nearly 25 seconds faster than the 992 GT3 RS, or is this just an incredibly advanced and expensive bodykit for GT3 RS owners, or will it be an ultra exclusive track toy for Porsches wealthiest clients?
Whatever the goal is, Manthey has sacrificed no fewer than 5 different GT3 RSs, for the development of this car, so it better be worth it!
And on a side note, I can't talk about Manthey Racing without mentioning their huge win at Le Mans last weekend. Drivers Yasser Shahin, Morris Schuring and Richard Lietz piloted the The #91 Porsche 911 R to 1st place in the LMGT3 category. So congrats to Manthey
The GT3 RS MR is close to being finished but we can still see tape being used to blend various aerodynamic components, so it looks like manthey still has a little more development work to do before they reveal this car to the public. But hopefully in the next couple of months we'll be seeing the official review of what is no doubt the most insane street legal 911 ever to come from Porsche. [ow4-pS46POI] |
