MANHART TR 950 966BHP Porsche 911 GT2 RS Redefined for Speed

When it comes to raw driving thrills, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is often regarded as the ultimate track weapon in the current 992 lineup. But for those chasing extreme performance, the Turbo S takes the crown. Yet, Porsche has a history of pushing the limits, and in the previous 991 generation, the GT2 RS reigned supreme. With a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six pumping out 700 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque in stock form, it was an absolute beast.

But for MANHART Performance, "stock" is just the starting point. The tuning specialists from Wuppertal have taken this hardcore machine to the next level, creating the MANHART TR 950 an ultra-exclusive supercar that now packs an astonishing 966 horsepower and 1,090 Nm of torque.

Engineering Excellence: Unleashing Nearly 1,000 HP

The foundation of the TR 950 is no ordinary GT2 RS. MANHART started with a top-spec model featuring Porsche’s sought-after Weissach and Clubsport packages. Then, they worked their magic under the hood.

To extract maximum power, MANHART implemented an ECU remap with a mapswitch function, allowing for multiple performance settings. The transformation is powered by upgraded TTH turbochargers, a MANHART charge air and engine cooling system (developed with CSF), and an aluminum IPD intake manifold. Additional cooling enhancements come from a MANHART water intercooler by MANTHEY, featuring an enlarged reservoir for improved efficiency.

On the exhaust side, the TR 950 features MANHART Sport downpipes with high-flow 200-cell HJS catalytic converters. However, these modifications are not TÜV-approved and are intended for export markets. To ensure the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) can handle the increased power, it has been reinforced with a MANHART clutch upgrade by Dodson and recalibrated with custom software.

Raw power means little without proper handling, and MANHART ensures the TR 950 remains razor-sharp on the road and track. a MANTHEY-KW coilover suspension setup provides enhanced control, while the factory-fitted carbon-ceramic brakes already exceptional remain untouched, with optional customizations available upon request.

A set of MANHART Forged Line wheels ties everything together, sized at 9.5x21 inches in the front and 12x22 inches at the rear. Wrapped in grippy Continental SportContact 7 tires (255/30ZR21 front and 335/25ZR22 rear), these wheels not only enhance performance but also add an aggressive stance. Customers can opt for custom finishes beyond the standard gloss black.

Aerodynamics and Design: Carbon Fiber Dominance

The MANHART TR 950 doesn’t just perform like a supercar it looks the part too. The bodywork has been fitted with premium carbon fiber components from DB Carbon, making the GT2 RS even more aggressive. Key additions include a front splitter with side extensions, aerodynamic flics for additional downforce, carbon-fiber air intake frames, side skirts, rear intake inserts, and a striking rear diffuser with extended side plates.

Tying it all together is MANHART’s signature livery. The TR 950 sports matte silver paint protection film with contrasting gray stripes and branding, ensuring it stands out even among Porsche’s most extreme models.

While the focus is on performance, MANHART didn’t ignore the cabin. The interior, originally featuring red trim, has been given a more understated black finish for a sleek, motorsport-inspired look. Custom MANHART floor mats complete the transformation, offering a subtle nod to the brand’s exclusive craftsmanship.

Final Thoughts: A True Supercar Slayer

With nearly 1,000 horsepower, advanced aerodynamics, and race-proven suspension tuning, the MANHART TR 950 is in a league of its own. It takes an already dominant Porsche 911 GT2 RS and elevates it to a level that few road-going cars can match. This isn’t just a tuned Porsche—it’s a full-fledged supercar engineered for those who demand the absolute best in performance, precision, and exclusivity.

For those looking to own a piece of automotive insanity, the TR 950 proves that there’s no such thing as “too much power”
