30 Years - Manthey: Three Decades, One Legacy, Endless Passion 1996-2026

For 30 years, Manthey’s heart has been dedicated to motorsports. What began in 1996 as Olaf Manthey’s vision has evolved into a company that brings its expertise to race cars, road cars, and driving experiences. Precision, innovation, and an uncompromising commitment to performance define every aspect of the company.

Manthey has created a legend: the yellow-and-green Porsche known to fans worldwide as the “Grello.” More than just a race car — it’s a symbol of victories, setbacks, unshakable team spirit, and the drive to keep getting better. Hardly any other vehicle embodies the successes at the 24-hour races on the Nordschleife quite like this one.

This coffee-table book chronicles three decades at the limit: from overall victories in the NLS to triumphs at Le Mans, and on to championship titles in the DTM and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The story is complemented by record-breaking laps on the Nordschleife and the global success of Manthey Kits for Porsche GT models.

However, the focus is on the people behind the successes. In Meuspath, motorsport at the highest level is created day after day—driven by passion, engineering expertise, and continuous development. A legacy. A story that continues to be written.

The book documents the milestones in Olaf Manthey’s life’s work up to early 2026, including the entry into the IMSA series in the USA. Comprehensive statistics and a list of all drivers round out the work.
