An ad hoc version of the Pirelli P Zero™ R equips the most powerful variant ever produced in over 60 years of the 911 series: the new Porsche 911 Turbo S. This ultra-high-performance tyre, designed for everyday driving in sports cars, features a compound derived directly from Pirelli's experience in motorsport. The product's technological origins share the same DNA as Pirelli's racing solutions, already appreciated in the prestige segment, ensuring outstanding dynamic response for the most high-performance vehicles.
Tailored performance for maximum power
Delivering the 711 hp (523 kW) and 800 Nm of torque of the Porsche 911 Turbo S into tarmac contact is no simple challenge. The P Zero™ R was engineered for exactly this reason – to maximise traction while preserving pure driving pleasure. In addition to optimal grip in dry conditions, the tyre ensures 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.
Pirelli Perfect Fit strategy and technical specifications
Behind this project the is the Pirelli Perfect Fit philosophy, each tyre is designed to precisely match the technical characteristics of its target vehicle.
A long standing collaboration between Pirelli and Porsche, which has already resulted in dedicated solutions for other models in the 911 range, such as the Porsche 911 GTS, the first with a hybrid powertrain. The new P Zero R tyres 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 tyres, ten millimeters wider than the previous generation. The front axle retains 255/35 ZR 20 tyres, ensuring the dynamic balance required of this benchmark sports car in its segment.
