More power? How? With a tune? With an exhaust?

if past performance predicts future then there will be no more power ... all the previous MR "kits" focused on suspension and aero...

they haven't done engines (AFIAK) since the end of the Mezger era...

in general these journo's haven't a clue!

I'd be very surprised if they also abandoned the cockpit adjustable suspension for a manual KW setup as they "usually" do ...

i think this package will concentrate on aero mainly.

We seen the revised front splitter much more extreme.. actually more like a true GTE/GTD category cars

and new HUGE rear diffuser and obviously the wing endplates, sharkfin and other type of roof addenda.

Does make me think… who is that kit for though?!

As for the suspension changes… i can only think that they might change out for another electronically controlled damper with even more rate to handle the upgraded aero load and revised software package to afforded even more granular adjustments, using the built-in car controls.

That all said… they’re then also going to need a new tyre beyond the Cup 2 R…. The cycle never ends.

I heard about KW GPS tuned suspension, presets for some tracks, additional in-car display for suspension

I would at least expect a new spring spkg for the RS MR ... to cope with the extra D/F from the new aero ...

Instagram post mentioned that Manthey do not expect to release the kit for the 992 GT3RS this year, but that may mean they are being cautious on a release date.

i would never have a 911 without a rear wing as profile reminds me of vw bug without it but i dont think i would want be seen in car on street with that wing either. looks absurd regardless of df it generates.
