Porsche Motorsport is celebrating its 25th anniversary of Manthey-Racing with the introduction of a special edition 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 model. 

Developed by Porsche and Manthey for track days and circuit racing, only 30 cars will be put into production.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 is powered by a 3.8-litre flat-six twin-turbo unit that gushes out 515 kW of power. Power is transferred to the road using a 7-speed PDK transmission. 

Porsche is not making any mention of performance times but we speculate it should be on par with the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport it is based on.  

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 benefits a lot from the marque’s racing cars. It comes fitted with a centrally-mounted radiator, redesigned front apron that now boasts a central inlet for optimal airflow, double flics plus a huge rear wing.

The underbody is closed while also boasting a carbon fibre front lid that has been completely redesigned. Like the model it took its inspiration from, the 911 GT3 R, the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 spawns two large vents and a centrally-positioned NACA duct that supplies air into thThe 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 is equipped with 18” rims with central locking. 

At the rear, the GT2 RS Clubsport 25 has been modified with the inclusion of a rear wing with new side plates and swan-neck support brackets. The rear also features new ventilation openings in the lid below the rear window and a functional diffuser. The exhaust system has been redesigned.

It also features racing headlights with a four-stripe design and to save space, the indicators are integrated. 

The interior is equipped with a wielded-in safety cage from the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport and complies with FIA regulations. 

Porsche Motorsport and Manthey have won many races and championships since the founding of the team 25 years ago and the two entities have been closely affiliated since.
