Sounds very cool, will be interesting when more details are available.

Partnership with Manthey Racing for performance parts on GT cars is awesome, while already done this is supposed to make it more accessible.

Saw aboveIN Nürburg. -Amzzing things. No engine mods...all aero and running gear. hugely faster than a standard RS. They will even do the track setup for you.

 

^ Yeah very cool. I heard it's a challenge to buy from them and have it sold and shipped here. So if this new Porsche offering makes that easier, big bonus for those interested. Bonus for Porsche too!

Would be nice to see an Akrapovic partnership. Already exists with VW and Audi in EU/UK, order an exhaust as a factory option or through dealer. Of course this will be good only if not marked up beyond aftermarket dealer pricing.

 

If it maintains the full warranty on the vehicle without issues, the markup might be worth it.

For myself, I'll drop a few grand if they offer a Macan GTS performance pack that boosts the 2.9l back up to Turbo levels.

 

This annoyed me when I read it. I guess I'm jaded. I wanted bucket seats on my 2015 GT3; nope. I wanted PTS on my 2016 RS; nope. I wanted mag wheels on my WP 2019 RS; nope.

But we can do a red racing stripe.

 

Hmm... that graphic on the side just isn't working for me. It's just too much... and I can't help but think...

"Hey... is that a race car?"
"No, it's a GT2RS MISTER!!!"

 

Yeah good point on the warranty aspect, worth a little bit.
