Its a long video, but it also explains why you cant just have the aero wheels by itself without the rest of the kit.
The amount of detail involved to achieve additional downforce is incredible

Great video, ? when I see posers with just the aero discs

New track footage with the parts more visible.
It would flow better if it comes from the factory like this instead of a kit after purchase

Loving this car! Wish they made a similar version of the wagon.

Looks like the fenders got even wider since first photos

Wow I'm really liking the new revisions. They went from GT4 RS fender louvres to full on 3RS fenders. And looks like a whole new rear wing and risers which I wasn't anticipating. Interesting to see what software changes they make to the car.

I'm still leaning towards this being a Manthey kit based on what the Manthey rep told me but hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer to find out.

Lets hope its a kit so I don't regret my purchase. I think its Manthey too because of the rear wheels and what you heard

this would be the first time Manthey kit swaps out body panels (fender). There's a possibility this could be a factory option, but every body piece is technically bolt off and bolt on.

If the Weissach GT seemingly was already a tough sell, I have to wonder how many more buyers are left for an even more hardcore Taycan? The ones interested in a "RS" would be the Weissach owners, one would think anyway...who just took delivery of their cars. They would be the easiest buyers to market a Manthey kit to, however.

But as Flying Ace pointed out, this would definitely be a more invasive kit if that's what it ends up being, replacing and painting fenders. However replacing the rear window on the 3RS shows how Manthey keeps evolving to find maximum performance where they can.
