Manthey
Porsche's own motorsport partner, Nurburgring record holders.
The story
Olaf Manthey founded the company in 1996 after retiring from the DTM, setting up shop in Meuspath right next to the Nurburgring. What started with seven vehicle hoists and three employees has grown into a 200-person operation that Porsche bought a 51% stake in during 2013. Manthey has won the Nurburgring 24 Hours seven times and taken six class wins at Le Mans, and since 2021 it has been Porsche's official motorsport partner. Its road car performance kits, sold through Porsche Tequipment, have set production-car lap records at the Nordschleife with the 911 GT3 RS and GT2 RS.
