The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT was unveiled with over 1,000 horsepower as the most powerful and performance-oriented version of the Taycan, Porsche’s first all-electric production model. The Taycan Turbo GT not only boasts significant power but also lightweight construction and highly advanced aerodynamics to achieve near-unparalleled performance on the circuit.
The Weissach Package dials up the track-focused performance further for the Taycan Turbo GT, but for those who want an even more track-capable vehicle, Manthey Performance will soon offer an optional kit for the car. That Manthey Performance Kit for the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT has already proved itself on one of the world’s most demanding circuits: the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Equipped with the Manthey Kit, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT managed to set a new lap record in the Electric Executive Cars category.
The kit modifies the car’s wheels and tires, along with revising the aerodynamics and optimizing the software, all with track performance in mind. Porsche development driver Lars Kern was behind the wheel for the record lap, where the Taycan Turbo GT managed to complete the 12.94-mile course, known for its challenging corners and dramatic elevation changes and nicknamed “The Green Hell,” in only 6:55.533 minutes. That lap time eclipsed the previous electric luxury car lap record at the Nordschleife by over nine seconds, and beat the 2023 record that Lars Kern set with the Weissach Package-equipped Taycan Turbo GT by twelve seconds.

Using the Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach Package as its basis, the Manthey Performance kit revises the power delivery, aerodynamics, and suspension of the vehicle. The driving dynamics systems are adjusted for the lightweight wheels that come with the package, along with Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo RS tires. Developed in collaboration between the Porsche Development Center in Weissach and Manthey in Meuspath, the results are impressive. Downforce at 124 mph increases with the kit from 209 to 683 pounds, top speed increases from 189 to 192 mph, at which point the Manthey kit produces 1,631 pounds of downforce, and the powertrain adjustments also increase the power output in the standard driving mode and in Attack mode.
Thanks to the motorsport-inspired solutions used in the Manthey Performance Kit for the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, the electric vehicle is setting new standards for performance, not only with immense power, but also with impressive dynamics that can break records on a track like the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
