Pirelli P Zero Elect tyres for PHEV Lambo Urus

Pirelli and Lamborghini have jointly created bespoke 21-, 22-, and 23-inch P Zero tyres, as well as a 22-inch Scorpion Winter 2 tyre, for the new Urus SE: the first plug-in hybrid variant of Lamborghini’s SUV.

This was the result of a development programme taking in more than 300km/h at the Nardò circuit in Italy as well as -30° in the Arctic Circle.

The four new types of tyre all feature Pirelli’s ‘Elect’ marking, denoting a package of technologies that enhances the characteristics of electrified cars.

Pirelli says the construction, tread pattern, and compounds of these new tyres are optimised to withstand the high torque demands of the Urus SE, as well as to support its weight, reduce road noise, and enhance battery life thanks to reduced rolling resistance.

The new P Zero and Scorpion Winter 2 tyres complete Pirelli’s range developed for the Lamborghini Urus over the years: 21-inch, 22-inch, and 23-inch P Zero and 22-inch P Zero Corsa tyres for summer; 22-inch Scorpion Zero All Season; 21 and 22-inch Scorpion Winter, and 21-inch Scorpion Ice Zero 2 (studded) tyre for winter.

On top of that, Pirelli has adapted the P Zero Trofeo R to an SUV for this first time with the Lamborghini Urus Performante. This 22-inch semi-slick tyre, specifically made for the track but also street-legal, helped the Urus Performante set a new record at the 2022 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
