Pirelli has introduced the third generation of its Scorpion summer tyre, dedicated to SUVs. First launched in 1986 specifically for high-driving-position vehicles and originally fitted to the Lamborghini LM002, the Scorpion brand today ranges from SUV tyres to on-road enduro and motocross motorcycle tyres, as well as off-road applications in the bicycle sector.
Last year was a record year for Pirelli innovation, with many awards won in tests and the recognition for Cyber Tyre technology, all granted by independent bodies and specialised magazines.
Just one month after being recognised in the United States as the most innovative technology in the tyre sector (Autotech Breakthrough Awards), the Pirelli Cyber Tyre has received three additional prestigious international accolades.
All the new Pirelli compounds will already be seen in action during the first three races of 2026, with today’s announcement of the compounds for next season’s opening races: Australia, China, and Japan.
Pirelli has equipped the new McLaren W1 supercar with three bespoke tyre fitments made from more than 50 per cent bio-based and recycled materials: a figure certified by independent body, Bureau Veritas.
Pirelli’s last development test for the 2026 Formula 1 tyres, before all the teams get to try them at the post-season session after this year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, is currently taking place at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.
Pirelli offers tyres for classics and youngtimer Porsche 911, from the first 1964 model to the Porsche 911 (type 997). This breadth of offering makes Pirelli a go-to supplier for Porsche collectors, thanks in part to the Collezione range for numerous other classic Porsche models, such as the 356, 914, 928 and 944.
Pirelli has launched the Cinturato Winter 3, a new high-performance winter tyre designed for saloons and crossovers, capable of offering safety and control in winter conditions.
The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 achieved first place overall in the super comparison conducted by the German magazine Auto Bild, which involved 30 all-season tyres, purchased directly from the market in the 225/40 R18 size, published in September 2025.
