Manthey Kit turns Taycan Turbo GT into ultimate track tool

At 124 mph (200 km/h), the standard Turbo GT with Weissach package generates 209 lbs (95 kg) of downforce; the Manthey Kit raises this to 638 lbs (290 kg). At top speed—now 192 mph (309 km/h)—the car creates 1,631 lbs (740 kg) of downforce to push it onto the road surface.

The kit also adds larger friction brakes with high-performance pads, and the driving dynamics have been revised with a setup that uses active ride suspension and rear axle steering. Porsche Manthey optimized the powertrain as well: maximum current rises 30 percent to 1,300 A, lifting nominal power by 26 hp (20 kW) to 804 hp (600 kW).

Attack mode, imported from Formula E (where Porsche has had quite a lot of success in recent seasons), boosts output to 978 hp (730 kW) for 10 seconds; launch control still produces 1,019 hp (760 kW) but peak torque in that mode increases by 22 lb-ft (30 Nm) to 936 lb-ft (1,270 Nm).
