Porsche Motorsport is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Manthey Racing by unveiling the jointly developed 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25. Limited to just 30 units, the model is based on the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport and is designed for track days as well as circuit racing. The model draws inspiration from Manthey’s 911 GT3 R, which is known as Grello due to its distinctive green and yellow livery. This color scheme is echoed on the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 as there are yellow-green accents on the intakes as well as the 18-inch center locking wheels.
Of course, the special edition
is far more than a paint job as it features a redesigned front end with a
rectangular appearance. The model has also been equipped with eye-catching
headlights, flics and a unique carbon fiber hood that features a
centrally-positioned NACA duct as well as two large vents. Porsche said the new
cooling concept allowed them to get rid of the wheel arch radiators and improve
direct airflow to the front brakes.
The model also incorporates
cues from the 935 Clubsport, which was introduced in 2018. They’re joined by a
significantly wider track and a unique rear wing that features new side plates
as well as swan-neck support brackets for “uninterrupted flow.” Speaking of the
rear, it features plenty of carbon fiber thanks to an optimized diffuser and
new vents. The model also sports a special dual exhaust system with distinctive
tips.
The interior largely carries
over from the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport and features a welded-in safety cage as well
as a special badge that “expresses the limited edition status.” Motivation
comes from a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine that produces 690 hp. It’s connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which
sends power to the rear wheels.
According to Porsche’s
Matthias Scholz, Director of GT Racing Cars, “The 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25
benefits from the motor racing experience that Manthey and Porsche Motorsport
have gained around the world. It is the perfect circuit racing car for
ambitious private drivers, and it’s an impressive example of engineering
skill.”
