The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Manthey Kit has set a new record in the electric category on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, achieving an outstanding result on P Zero Trofeo RS tyres.
The time? 6:55 minutes—breaking the seven-minute barrier and outperforming every other series-production electric car. The bespoke Pirelli tyres provided an additional reserve of grip, helping to shave crucial seconds off the clock on the world's most demanding circuit. The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Manthey Kit thus improves on the 7:07.5 benchmark set by the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach in 2023. The Pirelli fitment incorporates Elect technology—a suite of advanced solutions designed to enhance the characteristics of electrified vehicles, contributing to improved dynamic behaviour.
P Zero Trofeo RS: at its peak on track
With this latest Nürburgring result, the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS confirms its status as the tyre to beat on track. Originally developed as original equipment for hypercars and supercars — and already engineered in bespoke versions for Stuttgart manufacturer's models such as the Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS — it is now also available on the replacement market, bringing Pirelli's expertise from dedicated fitments for the most high-performing prestige and premium vehicles to a wider audience.
It is designed for drivers seeking ultra-high-performance tyres capable of fully enhancing the sporting potential of their car. Conceived for track use, it is also homologated for road driving.
Speed and innovation come together in the version developed specifically for the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Manthey Kit: it is in fact the first production tyre made with more than 50% bio-based and recycled materials to have contributed to a Nürburgring record. This proportion is identified by a dedicated logo on the sidewall. In addition, the natural rubber used in the tyre is FSC™ (Forest Stewardship Council™) certified, guaranteeing responsible management of the supply chain, from forest to factory.
Tyre Reviews: “the fastest tyre in the world”
The qualities of the P Zero Trofeo RS have recently been confirmed by the independent publication Tyre Reviews, which recognised it as “the best among the fastest tyres in the world”, standing out for its dry performance and consistency. German magazine Auto Bild Sportscars also crowned it the best track tyre, awarding it an “Exemplary” rating after comparing five road-homologated semi-slick tyres.
Since its debut, the P Zero Trofeo RS has set records across multiple categories on the world's most demanding proving ground. In 2025 alone, it claimed three records on the German circuit: the electric vehicle lap record, the benchmark among compact cars — breaking the 7:30 barrier for the first time — and the fastest touring car record.

Natural rubber accounts for approximately 25% of the total weight of the tyre (35837, size 285/45R22 XL P-ZERO(LR) NCS).
