Porsche 911 engine gets boosted to nearly 1,000 HP

The German tuning team over at Manhart has unveiled an upgrade program for the Porsche 911 (991) GT2 RS. Called the Manhart TR 900, it debuted with tweaked chassis, a rather held-back body kit and an extreme engine upgrade. You can grab a finished car right now if you happen to have €550,000 lying around.

In its stock form, the 3.8-liter flat turbo engine under the hood pumped out 700 PS (690 hp / 515 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. Manhart had it outfitted with new superchargers, an intercooler, improved heat dissipation, an exhaust system and a new ECU. This resulted in a power increase to 945 PS (932 hp / 695 kW) and a peak torque boost to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft).

The seven-speed PDK transmission and the suspension stay in place, but benefit from assorted modifications to make them work better with the boosted engine. Magnesium wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes are included by default, and you can have them replaced with any others that you prefer.

The exterior looks subtly revised with a light body kit, front bumper and sill extensions and a new rear diffuser. Special floor mats do it for the cabin.
