Manthey combines its many years of experience and diverse expertise in five business divisions - Racing, Performance, Engineering, Services and Experiences. The mission statement "Closer to perfection" underlines the values and actions of the entire company.

Manthey has built up an impressive track record: Its greatest motorsport successes include seven overall victories in the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring, six class victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, seven world championship titles in the FIA WEC Endurance Championship and winning the team and driver championships in the DTM 2023. 

With Manthey Kits for Porsche GT models, the company is represented worldwide through the Porsche dealership network and holds, among others, the production sports car record on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Drawing on its many years of racing experience, Manthey also tests and develops products and services for customers on the racetrack.

The company operates the Porsche one-make series 'Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring' as part of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. As the organiser of the 'Porsche Track Experience operated by Manthey', the company also enables a variety of performance-oriented training formats with Porsche road and race cars on Europe's most attractive Grand Prix circuits in four consecutive stages.

Our Home Track

The Eifel is our home and the Nürburgring is our home turf. Nothing has formed us as much as the challenge of the "Green Hell".

Our Headquarters

Our Brand

Porsche is not only our passion, but has also been our majority shareholder since 2013. This makes us and our solutions "Porsche approved".
