Pirelli Unveils Ultra-High-Performance 'P Zero R' Tire for New Porsche 911 Turbo S

Ultra-High-Performance Tire Infused with Pirelli's Motorsport Expertise
Inherited Racing DNA Delivers Exceptional Responsiveness and Driving Performance

On April 23, Pirelli announced that it has developed the ultra-high-performance tire "P Zero R" for the new Porsche 911 Turbo S, which is the most powerful model among the Porsche 911 lineup with over 60 years of history.

The P Zero R is a product optimized for the daily driving environment of sports cars, featuring a compound that integrates Pirelli's accumulated motorsport technology and expertise. Inheriting Pirelli's distinctive racing DNA, it simultaneously delivers the precise responsiveness and driving performance required by top-tier vehicles.

In particular, the P Zero R is designed to effectively transfer the maximum output of 523 kW (711 horsepower) and maximum torque of 800 Nm from the 911 Turbo S to the road. This not only delivers powerful performance but also provides significantly improved driving stability and enhanced driving pleasure.

Additionally, the tire offers outstanding grip on dry surfaces while maintaining consistent traction across various road and weather conditions. Special emphasis was placed on enhancing safety and handling on wet surfaces, and the tread pattern was designed to reduce noise during driving, thereby improving ride comfort. Optimized rolling resistance is also highlighted as a key feature, contributing to the overall efficiency of the vehicle.

Pirelli continues to develop dedicated tires tailored to the characteristics of each vehicle in line with its "Perfect Fit" philosophy. The company maintains a close partnership with Porsche, and the P Zero R tire has already been applied to various 911 models, including the 911 GTS, which is the first to feature a hybrid powertrain.

Meanwhile, the sidewall of the P Zero R tire, dedicated for the 911 Turbo S, features Porsche's approval mark "N," signifying joint development by both companies for tires that can be fitted to all versions of the 911. The tire size remains 255/35 ZR 20 at the front, while the rear has been widened by 10 mm to 325/30 ZR 21 compared to previous models. This maximizes contact area and traction performance, completing the ideal driving balance demanded by high-performance sports cars.
