P Zero R for new Porsche 911 Turbo S

Pirelli has developed a new P Zero R tyre specifically for the Porsche 911 Turbo S, the most powerful version ever produced in over 60 years of 911 history.

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.

The P Zero R for the 911 Turbo S was designed to effectively transfer the 523 kW (711 hp) delivered by the engine to the ground. Its specific design enables it to handle torque of 800 Nm, enhancing both the new model’s dynamic capabilities and 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.

In line with the Pirelli Perfect Fit philosophy, each tyre is 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 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 optimise the contact patch and traction of the new car, the rear axle uses 325/30 ZR 21 tyres, 10mm 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.
