The 992-2 GT3 is the mid-cycle refresh of Porsche's 992-generation 911 GT3, introduced for model year 2025 with revised aerodynamics and updated transmission options. Spark Model captures this specific road-car configuration — Auratium Green metallic, Manthey Kit installed — in resin at 1:18, arriving with a display showcase.
The 992-2 GT3: Naturally Aspirated at 9,000 rpm
Under the revised rear bodywork sits the Type 9A2 Evo 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, producing approximately 510 hp and spinning to around 9,000 rpm — an architecture shared with the GT3 RS and the GT3 R racing car. The 992-2 update brought aerodynamic refinement and both PDK and manual gearbox options, keeping the GT3 firmly at the top of the road-legal 911 hierarchy. Auratium Green, a metallic sage-olive shade, is new to the GT3 line-up with this generation and was not offered on the 992-1.
Manthey-Racing: Nürburgring Expertise, Street-Legal Form
Manthey-Racing GmbH, based in Meuspath and Porsche-owned, built its reputation on multiple Nürburgring 24-hour victories before extending its engineering to factory-approved road-car upgrades. The Manthey Performance Kit for the 992 GT3 adds bespoke front and rear suspension geometry, specific anti-roll bar calibration, Manthey brake pads, and a front splitter with rear diffuser. The result is a visually and dynamically distinct specification that sits above a standard GT3 without crossing into track-only territory — the highest road-legal 911 GT3 build available to retail customers.
Resin 1:18 Scale Model by Spark Model
This is a Spark Model 1:18 resin scale model of the Porsche 911 GT3 992-2. Resin construction allows sharper panel definition and more accurate surface texture than die-cast, making it the preferred material for display-grade pieces. The Auratium Green metallic finish, the Manthey aero components — splitter, diffuser — and the distinctive brake calliper detailing are all rendered in this medium. A display showcase is included.
In the Display Cabinet
This piece sits naturally alongside the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 992, which shares the same engine family and generation, or the 992 GT3 R race variants that carry the Manthey connection into competition. Collectors building a colour-run of special-order 992-generation GT3 road cars — Shark Blue, Python Green and now Auratium Green — will find this a logical, generation-defining addition.
