Pirelli has developed a specific P Zero R for the Porsche 911 Turbo S. The ultra-high-performance tire has been designed for everyday driving in sports cars and features a compound derived from Pirelli’s experience in motorsport. The product’s technological origins share the same DNA as Pirelli’s racing solutions, ensuring outstanding dynamic response for the most high-performance vehicles.
The 911 Turbo S’s P Zero R has been designed to effectively transfer the 523kW (711 hp) delivered by the engine to the ground. Its specific design enables it to handle torque of 800Nm, enhancing both the model’s dynamic capabilities and driving pleasure. In addition to optimal grip in dry conditions, the tire also offers consistent traction across different surfaces and a wide range of weather conditions, with particular attention to safety and control in wet conditions. The tread pattern has been engineered to minimize noise for improved comfort, while optimized rolling resistance contributes to the vehicle’s overall efficiency.
In line with the Pirelli Perfect Fit philosophy, each tire has been designed to precisely match the technical characteristics of its target vehicle. This well-established collaborative approach between Pirelli and Porsche has already led to the development of specific P Zero R fitments for other models in the 911 range, such as the Porsche 911 GTS, the first with a hybrid powertrain.
The new P Zero R tires for the Porsche 911 Turbo S feature the ‘N’ marking on the sidewall, symbolizing joint development to achieve optimal fitment for every version of the 911. To optimize the contact patch and traction of the new car, the rear axle uses 325/30 ZR 21 tires, 10mm wider than the previous generation. The front axle retains 255/35 ZR 20 tires.
