Racing driver Nico Hulkenberg's Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR

Posted: Posted:

Nico Hulkenberg's favorite car: Porsche 911 GT2 RS of Manthey Racing Tuning

The video itself was released a while ago, but there was an introduction to a privately owned car by F1 driver and racing driver Nico Hulkenberg, who was also a Le Mans champion.

This time, a little attention was paid to this previous video. The reason is ...

At the Eifel Grand Prix 2020 held in October 2020, Nico Hulkenberg took the place of Lance Stroll, who was ill on the day of the race, in a hurry. ..

And at this time, in order to respond to "suddenly (for a substitute) called", he skipped his Porsche 911 and rushed to the circuit, so "Niko-Porsche" was re-focused. It seems like.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR was introduced in the video as his favorite car.

"MR" at the end of the model name isManthey RacingThis Porsche is an abbreviation of GT2 RS tuned by tuning maker Manthey Racing.

Chris Harris's You Tube got me interested in Manthey-Racing

In the video, he talked about "Why did you tune Manthey-Racing?" "No, I was watching You Tube and Chris Harris introduced it, and I thought it was good." It was fresh.

Even such a great racing driver will be influenced by the reviews on You Tube. In a sense, I thought he was a very honest person, and I thought he was a cute person ^^

Well, of courseChris Harris is also the moderator of Top GearSo, I think that the influence is a little different from the ordinary You Tuber, but it's kind of nice. Chris Harris would be happy too.

Here is a video about Chris Harris's Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR ↓

By the way, Mr. Nico said that he spent 103,000 dollars (about 10.8 million yen) on this Porsche 911 GT2 RS and asked Manthey Racing to make the following changes.

  • KW 3-way damper
  • Michelin Cup 2R Tires
  • New brake pads
  • Change to a lighter wheel
  • TUV compliant canard
  • Redesigned underbody floor
  • Wheel arch aero curtain
  • Engine lid gurney flap
  • Different wing end plates
  • Larger wings at steeper angles
  • Tall wing support
  • Larger rear diffuser

And it's just too great a car to be considered too dangerous for the average person to handle.Called a widow makerThis Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

I think that it is possible to handle it even more tuned because it is exactly Mr. Nico, a professional racing driver.

You can know when you have reached the limit of Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR

What impressed me most this time was Nico's words.

For questions like "What was good for you with the Manthey-Racing Porsche 911 GT2 RS?"

"When you drive and the car is really at its limits, then you smile and then you know why (you purchased it)"

Yes, he said

"Driving this car, when the car has reached its limit, you smile and know why you bought this car."

What! !! !!

Oh, isn't it too cool? ?? I was crazy. This really.

Because it's the Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR, it's "when this car is reaching its limits, you know why you have to be this car".

Is it a word that can only be said to him?

Even the Porsche 911 base model Carrera can never bring it to its limit (Oh, there is no need to compare it with me (laughs)), no, it's too cool.

I'm sorry, this time, his words are so nice that I wrote this blog just because I wanted to introduce this ^^

Even if you do not know the limits, I still like Porsche 911 Carrera

"Know why this car" ... For me, the black Carrera (Porsche 911) "why I like this car so much" is still unclear why.

But even if I can't bring my Porsche to the limit, I'm happy that I can just like it and it seems to be painful if it's not this car.

… So what is the last story of this 〆?

Nico's words were so cool that I wanted to reiterate my love for Porsche. As usual, I don't even know what it means (laughs).
