Porsche 718 GT4 RS sets new official lap time with Manthey kit
The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS with Manthey kit has set a new official lap time on the Nordschleife. With Porsche brand ambassador Jörg Bergmeister at the wheel, the 500-hp modified GT sports car lapped the 20.8-kilometer circuit in the Eifel region in 7:03.121 minutes ¬- 6.179 seconds faster than the standard 718 Cayman GT4 RS about a year earlier - under 18 degrees Celsius and cloudy skies. Both cars were equipped with the optionally available Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. The lap time was certified by a notary present on site.
