Porsche’s Manthey‑Kit slashes the Taycan Turbo GT’s Nürburgring lap time by turning the standard 124‑mph downforce of 209 lbs into 638 lbs, while top‑speed aerodynamics push 1,631 lbs onto the road. Bigger friction brakes and active ride suspension sharpen the car’s track feel and the coach‑built chassis delivers tighter cornering for drivers craving precision.

Power gains mirror the aerodynamic lift. Manthey increased peak current by 30% to 1,300 A, unlocking 804 hp at normal output and 978 hp in 10‑second Attack mode borrowed from Porsche’s Formula E program. Launch‑control torque climbs to 936 lb‑ft, matching the Weissach pack’s 1,019 hp ceiling and delivers a punchy street‑legal performance for enthusiasts who savor power.

On the Nordschleife, Kern reports lap times dropping to a record 6:58.5, reclaiming the electric‑vehicle title from BYD’s Yangwang U9. The upgrade also boosts tire grip and active steering, allowing drivers to tackle fast sections with confidence while braking hard, turning the Taycan into a track‑centric machine for serious performance seekers.

The base Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package starts at $243,700, and Manthey’s kit will carry an additional premium, though the exact price is pending. Buyers gain an electrified racer that blends Porsche’s luxury pedigree with uncompromised track prowess, redefining what an electric sports car can do on a legendary circuit.
