Enjoyed that, €90k euros for a set of dampers, a gurney flap, splitter and difffuser mods, oh and an updated set of pads.

Does seem somewhat excessive mind.

Plus how many man-hours of R&D, testing, plus the value of the IP to be able to do it in the first place...

2 seconds faster than a P1 is bonkers.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

I havent watched this yet, but I have already found out that it is apparently pronounced Man-tie and not Manth-ee. :oops:

Does this video include any strut-tower ripping-aparting?

Enjoyed watching it but I still prefer the old stickshift 997 one in the Juke R vid although it's a slowcoach in comparison

Yes I agree etc but how many will they actually sell, yes let’s try and amortise all our development by selling 4 kits.

Massive marketing value there no doubt, wonder if they reinforced the front strut tops 😂

Were I to win the lotto, I’d be straight off to see Mr Manthey for one of these, lots of coaching, and then a seat in one of their customer VLN series cars

Drifting and cocking about is ok sometimes but this is both entertaining and informative 8-)
