Manhart’s TR 900 is a R10 million Porsche 911 GT2 RS

If the track-ready Porsche 911 GT2 RS isn’t hardcore enough, Manhart now has their 705 kW TR 900 available with plenty of carbon fibre bits.

Not many people would consider the 991 generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS a slouch. Essentially a GT2 car with an indicator stalk and number plate mount, the models that rolled off of the Stuttgart production line put out a healthy 515 kW and 750 N.m of twin-turbocharged flat-six goodness. 

Apparently, throwing on a few bolt-on toys can push that power all the way up to 705 kW and 1 050 N.m which is exactly what Manhart has done with their TR 900 model. The German tuner has taken the existing 911 GT2 RS and completely unleashed an animal capable of blistering lap times. This is courtesy of a Mapswitch ECU remap along with a set of TTH 1000 turbochargers and CSF intercooler kit which includes a signifcantly larger front-radiator fan.

Other mechanical powertrain goodies include an IPD aluminium manifold and Manhart downpipes by Kline Innovation which retain their catalytic converters meaning the TR 900 remains street-legal. This significant jump in power includes an upgrade to the 7-speed PDK transmission while the exterior is immediately recognisable as a Manhart creation along with some carbon bits.

Gold pinstripes curtail the Midnight Dark Green on the exterior which continues onto the standard Y-spoke centre lock rims. Manhart decorative lettering is included on elements of the windscreen and bodywork and DB Carbon branded carbon fibre is used throughout the exterior. This includes a front splitter with flank extensions, front intake frames, side skirts and a diffuser. 

Pricing on the all-powerful TR 900 is as great as its performance figures with the website listing it at €550 000 or around R10 million.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
