I was over at PEC LA for lunch and spotted this in the garage. The ducted hood design with guide vanes, the NACA ducts (I'm guessing brake cooling), and central refueling port doesn't match anything I've seen before. Not any 2018 GTE/GT3/GTLM car I could find pictures of at least. Anybody know what it is?
991.2 GT3 Cup MR (Manthey Racing). There are at least 3-4 in the US now. Hybrid between a cup and a GT3R but with the wear/cost of a cup. I think pricing is high $300ks. Serious premium to a Cup but not the $600k for a new GT3R delivered to the US.
Ah, thanks for the info. Turns out the front brake ducts are the openings to the sides of the main front bumper opening. So not sure what those two NACA ducts in the hood lead to.
Driver side NACA goes directly to the driver's left side vent. Passenger side NACA goes through the fan blower unit and comes out heated. Not sure if that is a design feature at all LOLL.

This MR Cup should be at our shop next week for one of our client's. It's one of 6 or so here in the US that are built at PMNA in Carson with support from Manthey. They are incredible machines, more slanted towards endurance racing and this one has all the options on it, Traction Control, Endurance lights, Oiling system upgrade, electronics upgrade, etc......
The plan is for it to makes its debut at the Thermal Club Triple Crown Race next weekend......stay tuned.
