While in Germany for European Delivery this past September, we paid a visit to Manthey Racing. It had been four years since we last visited and my goodness their new service center is unreal. Before heading out on track later during the trip, we had a prototype version of their GT2RS extended water tank was installed on our GT2RS along with a set of Michelin Sport Cup 2R tires.
The next few days were spent testing the Manthey Racing water tank setup on our U.S. spec GT2RS with solid results at both the Nurbugring & Spa. The fast layout of Spa really exposed the need for additional capacity, especially as track temps were high and sessions were long running with RMA Trackdays.
The four other GT2RS owners at Spa were having to refill their factory water tanks after each session while we went all day (6 sessions) on a single fill up using the Manthey Racing unit.
Since our time overseas, we've been working out a plan to bring these tanks to the U.S.A. And happy to report we've just received our first batch of Manthey Racing GT2RS extended water tanks - these 10 pre-sold units are the first to arrive stateside, with exception to the unit in our GT2RS.
It’s worth noting that Manthey Racing themselves do not sell components in the U.S. market – we are now your source for these components in America.
Manthey Racing's plug and play GT2RS water tanks nearly triple the capacity of the factory system. Anyone that has driven a GT2RS knows the importance of the charge cooling system and the car’s thirst for distilled water! The intercooler sprayers do an incredible job of keeping temperatures on target.
We're proud to offer this solution here in the U.S.A. for GT2RS owners. These water tanks, along with the entire Manthey Racing catalog, are now available through 311RS. This includes the upcoming GT2RS MR package that was recently shown in detail at the Essen Motor Show. This same package is what Manthey Racing used on their GT2RS to go faster than any other road-legal lap car around the Nordschleife with a 6:40.3.
Our next batch of Manthey Racing GT2RS water tanks are due in a few weeks time. Two of the ten units are spoken for - they sell for €990 + shipping and duties, with this first batch of ten coming out to ~$1,400USD delivered to each GT2RS owner. Please contact us or click here today if you'd like to reserve a unit from our next shipment.
We're happy to discuss the full Manthey Racing catalog, so give us a call any time. And we'll have more to share from our project GT2RS as the car develops prior to our first track time of the year on February 25th.

Does Manthey have a solution to defeat the airbag light for aftermarket seats? If so, is this something that can be done, brought or bought in the states?
The upgrade kit for OEM dampers consists of the spring packers and shims is €985. If you are speaking of the KW 3-way dampers, those are more in the range of €8,395.
Pm'd on the OEM upgrade kit of spring packers and shims for 991.1RS
^ That is absolutely stunning!
My .2 GT3 is similar spec (White, CCBs, black wheels) so it helps to see it like that.
I think if I can get my mitts on one, I'll go for fully exposed carbon on the wing.
Looks amazing!!!! How did they make the end pieces match stock? Painted matte black or does Manthey sell them that way as an option (as oppose to carbon fiber)?
The wing is one carbon piece, including the endplates. So you can´t have them any different. The endplates are painted matte black with some special paint, so it looks like the stock ones.

Yes, the wing is also installed.
