The Stuttgart-based manufacturer began producing cars in 1948 with the 356, a compact sports coupé derived from the legendary Volkswagen Beetle, also designed by Ferdinand Porsche. An “all at the back” vehicle: rear traction and an engine with overhanging opposed cylinders. This structure was a sign of the unique technical direction of Porsche cars.
With the advent of the 911 in the mid 60s, the escalation in power became unstoppable and there was a demand for tyres able to transmit this power to the ground and keep even the most aggressive and powerful Porsche cars on the road. As it does for all its demanding customers, Pirelli has always offered Porsche tyres that can offer both safety on the road and performance on track.
