你的保时捷 Taycan 在纽博格林赛道跑得太慢了？你需要这套 Manthey 套件。
Porsche is known for building cars that really are extremely good right out of the box. Yes, they tend to be more expensive than the other German luxury car brands, particularly once the option list comes out. But it doesn’t take very long behind the wheel before the driving experience reveals why they’re so good. And that’s just the regular models; the stuff that comes out of the motorsport department in Weissach—like the sublime 911 GT3—is even more focused.
保时捷以打造“出厂即巅峰”的卓越汽车而闻名。诚然，它们往往比其他德国豪华汽车品牌更昂贵，尤其是在选配清单罗列出来之后。但只要坐进驾驶座，很快你就能通过驾驶体验明白它们为何如此出色。这还仅仅是普通车型；而那些出自魏斯阿赫（Weissach）赛车部门的作品——比如令人赞叹的 911 GT3——则更加纯粹且专注。
But for some drivers, those who choose to spend their spare time enjoying track days at places like the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany’s Eifel Mountains, even cars like the razor-sharp GT3 RS make too many compromises for the road. For those people, there is Manthey Racing. Based at the industrial estate alongside the ’Ring, Manthey is a highly successful racing team—majority-owned by Porsche since 2013—that applies its years of experience making Porsches go even faster around the 12.9-mile (20.8 km) circuit known as the Green Hell to create upgrade kits that will turn the dials all the way up to 11.
但对于一些车主来说，那些选择在德国艾费尔山脉传奇的纽博格林北环赛道（Nürburgring Nordschleife）享受赛道日的驾驶者而言，即便是像 GT3 RS 这样极致的车型，为了兼顾公路行驶也做出了太多妥协。对于这些人，Manthey Racing 应运而生。Manthey 总部位于纽博格林赛道旁的工业园区，是一支极其成功的赛车队（自 2013 年起由保时捷控股）。他们将多年来让保时捷在被称为“绿色地狱”的 12.9 英里（20.8 公里）赛道上跑得更快的经验，转化为升级套件，将性能表现推向极致。
Manthey’s newest upgrade kit is not for the 911 or 718, but the electric Taycan. Specifically, the Manthey Kit is an upgrade to the Taycan Turbo GT variant that Porsche introduced in 2024. More specifically, it requires the Taycan Turbo GT to also have the factory-installed Weissach package: this saves weight with carbon-fiber trim, thinner glass, a lighter sound system, and even loses the second charge port and the rear speakers to cut kilos. So equipped, the 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time falls from 2.2 seconds to 2.1 seconds.
Manthey 最新的升级套件并非针对 911 或 718，而是针对纯电车型 Taycan。具体来说，这套 Manthey 套件是针对保时捷于 2024 年推出的 Taycan Turbo GT 车型进行的升级。更确切地说，它要求 Taycan Turbo GT 必须选装原厂的 Weissach 套件：该套件通过碳纤维饰件、更薄的玻璃、更轻的音响系统来减轻重量，甚至取消了第二个充电口和后排扬声器以进一步减重。在这样的配置下，0-60 英里/小时（0-97 公里/小时）的加速时间从 2.2 秒缩短至 2.1 秒。
But a more impressive statistic is how little time it took Porsche factory driver Lars Kern to lap the Nordschleife—in 2024, he completed a lap in 7 minutes, 7.5 seconds. That’s a very fast lap time. So the 12 seconds he shaved off with the Manthey Kit, setting a time of 6:55.553, should underscore just how much faster the car can now go.
但更令人印象深刻的数据是保时捷厂队车手 Lars Kern 在北环赛道的圈速——2024 年，他跑出了 7 分 07.5 秒的成绩。这是一个非常快的圈速。因此，他通过 Manthey 套件缩短了 12 秒，跑出了 6 分 55.553 秒的成绩，这足以凸显该车现在的速度提升有多么显著。
There’s more aerodynamic downforce courtesy of wild new body extensions, with louvers on the front wheel arches (presumably to let air escape the wheel well), a larger rear wing, new underbody diffusers, and aerodisc rear wheels. And the car’s downforce levels are tunable, so you can optimize it for whichever track you happen to be blistering this week. At 124 mph (200 km/h), the standard Turbo GT with Weissach package generates 209 lbs (95 kg) of downforce. The Manthey Kit increases this to 638 lbs (95 kg). At top speed—now 192 mph (309 km/h)—the car creates 1,631 lbs (740 kg) of downforce to push it onto the road surface. It’s fitted with bigger friction brakes with high-performance pads, and the driving dynamics have been honed by a new setup that makes use of the active ride suspension and rear axle steering.
得益于狂野的新车身套件，车辆获得了更大的空气动力学下压力。前轮拱上的百叶窗（推测是为了排出轮拱内的空气）、更大的尾翼、全新的底盘扩散器以及空气动力学后轮毂盖，都起到了关键作用。此外，车辆的下压力水平是可调的，因此你可以针对本周所挑战的任何赛道进行优化。在 124 英里/小时（200 公里/小时）时，配备 Weissach 套件的标准版 Turbo GT 可产生 209 磅（95 公斤）的下压力。而 Manthey 套件将其提升至 638 磅（290 公斤）。在最高时速（现为 192 英里/小时，即 309 公里/小时）下，该车可产生 1,631 磅（740 公斤）的下压力，将其牢牢压在路面上。它还配备了更大的摩擦制动器和高性能刹车片，驾驶动态也通过利用主动悬挂和后轮转向系统的新调校得到了进一步优化。
Manthey has also worked some magic on the powertrain. Maximum current has increased by 30 percent to 1,300 A, which increases nominal power by 26 hp (20 kW) to 804 hp (600 kW). Attack mode, imported from Formula E (where Porsche has had quite a lot of success in recent seasons) boosts this to 978 hp (730 kW) for 10 seconds. And while total power output in launch control is still the same 1,019 hp (760 kW) as the Weissach pack, peak torque in this mode increases by 22 lb-ft (30 Nm) to 936 lb-ft (1,270 Nm).
Manthey 还在动力总成上施展了一些魔法。最大电流增加了 30%，达到 1,300 安培，使额定功率增加了 26 马力（20 千瓦），达到 804 马力（600 千瓦）。从电动方程式（Formula E，保时捷在近几个赛季表现出色）引入的“攻击模式”（Attack mode）可在 10 秒内将功率提升至 978 马力（730 千瓦）。虽然在弹射起步模式下的总功率输出仍与 Weissach 套件版保持一致，为 1,019 马力（760 千瓦），但该模式下的峰值扭矩增加了 22 磅-英尺（30 牛·米），达到 936 磅-英尺（1,270 牛·米）。
“The Manthey Kit turns the Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package into the ultimate track tool. On the Nordschleife, you can feel the stability and confidence the car offers in fast sections and when braking,” said Kern. “We were able to improve the previous best times thanks to significantly improved aerodynamics, further improved tires in terms of performance, and higher available overboost power.”
“Manthey 套件将配备 Weissach 套件的 Taycan Turbo GT 变成了终极赛道利器。在北环赛道上，你可以感受到车辆在高速路段和制动时所提供的稳定性和信心，”Kern 表示，“得益于显著提升的空气动力学、性能更强的轮胎以及更高的超增压功率，我们得以刷新了之前的最佳圈速。”
Importantly for Porsche, Kern’s lap time means that once again, the German OEM holds the electric vehicle Nordschleife lap record, wresting it back from BYD, which set a 6:59.157 lap time in late 2025 with the Yangwang U9, a car with more than three times as much power as this Taycan. But none of these road cars are anywhere close to the outright EV lap record, set by Romain Dumas in 2019 in Volkswagen’s ID.R, when he lapped the place in 6:05.336. Pricing will be announced in time, but the base Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package starts at $243,700.
对于保时捷而言，重要的是 Kern 的圈速意味着这家德国车企再次夺回了纽博格林北环赛道的电动车圈速纪录。此前，比亚迪仰望 U9 在 2025 年底以 6 分 59.157 秒的成绩创下纪录，而该车的动力是这台 Taycan 的三倍多。不过，这些量产车距离 2019 年由 Romain Dumas 驾驶大众 ID.R 创下的 6 分 05.336 秒的电动车总纪录还有很大差距。该套件的定价将在稍后公布，但基础版 Taycan Turbo GT（含 Weissach 套件）的起售价为 243,700 美元。
