  • PIRELLI PRESENTS THREE NEW P ZERO TIRES AT THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED


    PRODUCTS WITH P ZERO PERFORMANCE FOR MODERN MOBILITY EXTEND RANGE


    P ZERO E: A MASTER OF PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY.

    TRIPLE "A" RATED ON THE EU TIRE LABEL.

    MADE FROM MORE THAN 55% RECYCLED OR BIO-BASED

    MATERIALS. EQUIPPED WITH NEW PUNCTURE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY


    P ZERO R: TOP PERFORMANCE FOR EVERYDAY USE ON MODERN SUPERCARS


    P ZERO TROFEO RS: SEMI-SLICK FIRST EQUIPMENT FOR HYPERCARS. FASTEST PIRELLI PRODUCT FOR TRACK AND ROAD




    Pirelli has unveiled three new tires at the Goodwood Festival of Speed as the event's exclusive tire partner. As the latest products in the P Zero family, the new additions continue the ongoing evolution: a well-known trademark of the brand. P Zero has been synonymous with performance and safety since 1986. The product line is currently at the top of the list in terms of homologations received from the world's leading car manufacturers: in total, it has more than 1,300 homologations. Now, Pirelli further developed the product family at the request of manufacturers and consumers. Particular emphasis was placed on sustainability and efficiency. The company's engineers designed the three new products according to Pirelli's "Eco-Safety Design" approach: in this development process, they use innovative methods and materials, including the virtualization technology used by Pirelli in motorsport. This allows them to overcome the inevitable trade-offs in tire development, which are always caused by the natural-physical trade-offs.


    The latest chapter begins with the new Pirelli P Zero E: this optimum of techno-logy and sustainability complements the other P Zero tires in the product range . The new tire received a triple A rating in each size in the parameters measured for the EU tire label: rolling resistance, wet braking and noise development. At the same time, more than 55 percent of its materials come from either bio-ba-sed or recycled materials*. This is confirmed by the independent agency Bureau Veritas. In addition, a tire life cycle analysis conducted by Pirelli and confirmed by Bureau Veritas

    tire life cycle analysis conducted by Pirelli and confirmed by Bureau Veritas shows a 24% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to a previous generation Pirelli tire**.

    Such results have never been achieved before in the UHP tire market. The P Zero E also features Pirelli's new RunForward technology. It allows a driver to continue driving for around 40 kilometers at a top speed of 80 km/h despite a puncture.


    Pirelli also unveiled the new Pirelli P Zero R at Goodwood. The tire for the most powerful super sports cars is also suitable for everyday use. The new product benefits from the close collaboration between Pirelli and the world's most prestigious car manufacturers. For each of their vehicle models, the Italian company develops tailor-made tires whose characteristics meet current market requirements. For the P Zero R, Pirelli engineers worked to give the tire progressive behavior and excellent performance. Apart from driving control on wet and dry roads, reduced rolling resistance, lower road noise and improved durability for sporty driving.


    The Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS is the top model for performance on the track. Homologated for road use, the semi-slick tire is mainly intended as original equipment for hypercars. In doing so, Pirelli develops customized versio-nes for each vehicle. The P Zero Trofeo RS represents a further step forward in terms of track performance. Compared to the previous generation, it offers more consistency as well as more safety in wet conditions.

  • THE P ZERO TROFEO RS: THE SPORTIEST TIRE YET IN THE PIRELLI RANGE FOR CARS


    DESIGNED FOR THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT OF SUPER SPORTS CARS, IT COMBINES PERFORMANCE ON THE RACETRACK WITH SAFETY ON THE ROAD


    The new generation of Pirelli semislick tires offers even more performance on dry roads and greater durability. Even during intensive use, performance is maintained longer, allowing higher speeds and greater safety over several sessions on the track. The tire owes this characteristic to Pirelli's extensive experience in the top categories of motorsports. The materials used, especially the tread compound, benefit from this know-how and are suitable for both road and track use. Pirelli engineers paid special attention to wet asphalt safety because this tire is the original equipment for hypercars and supercars with road approval.


    As an evolution of the P Zero Trofeo R, the new tire also stands out for its market position. Originally, Pirelli designed the P Zero Trofeo R for the aftermarket to enhance performance on the racetrack. In contrast, the P Zero Trofeo RS is aimed primarily at the original equipment market, allowing automakers to deliver vehicles that are ready for a sporty driving experience from the start.


    Another innovation available to Pirelli engineers was the virtual development of the tire geometry. It enabled them to evaluate a wide range of different tire contours and contact patches using virtual modeling to define the tires' response to the driver's steering inputs with maximum precision.

    The new Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS is already available for original equipment vehicles. A wide range of tires is planned for the replacement market in the future. The P Zero Trofeo R will continue to be available in a specific range of sizes.

  • PIRELLI P ZERO R: THE NEW TIRE FOR SUPER SPORTS CARS


    PERFORMANCE FOR SPORTY DRIVING AND EFFICIENCY FOR EVERYDAY USE THANKS TO PIRELLI RESIN COMPOUND TECHNOLOGY

    The application spectrum of the new road tire for sports cars ranges from GT models to super sports cars. Equipped with more performance than the P Zero and greater versatility than the Semislick P Zero Trofeo RS, the latest product is based on Pirelli's experience of working with the world's most prestigious car manufacturers. The tire meets the requirements of the most powerful vehicles on the market while satisfying the demands of everyday road use.
    With the P Zero R, sporty performance is now even easier to retrieve, thanks to a wider application window with reduced driving noise, offering greater comfort, and to lower rolling resistance and improved grip. All this contributes to greater efficiency on the track as well as on the road.
    Pirelli engineers maximized the contact patch of the P Zero R, the only point of contact between the car and the road. This gives the new tire balanced and predictable characteristics during weight transfer as well as braking to reduce stopping distance. Added to this is improved handling both on the road and on the racetrack. All this helps to generate lateral forces and thus improve road holding.


    EFFECTIVENESS ON THE RACETRACK, EFFICIENCY ON THE ROAD


    The P Zero R is designed to combine effectiveness and efficiency even on the racetrack. In doing so, it delivers consistent performance without letting up. These results are due to the interaction between the tire compound and the tread design.
    The central part of the tread has been stiffened with more robust blocks, while the outer part has a positive-negative ratio*, which favors handling in corners. The efficiency of the P Zero R is reflected in its lower rolling resistance: a demand increasingly voiced by sports car manufacturers. The reduced depth of the grooves means that less energy is now lost and rolling resistance is consequently reduced. Priority was also given to noise reduction in order to increase comfort on board those top-of-the-range vehicles for which Pirelli developed these tires.

  • PIRELLI RELEASES THE P ZERO E: THE SPORTY TIRE IS A MASTER OF TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY


    The new tire integrates Pirelli's latest technological innovations to meet the latest trends in electrified and sustainable mobility. It is the first UHP tire on the market to be made of more than 55% materials of bio-based and recycled origin. The entire product range received a triple A rating on the EU tire label. The P Zero E features consistent performance whether in new or used condition. The tire was developed specifically for battery-powered electric vehicles. That's why every product in the range features the "Elect" marking. It stands for low rolling resistance and reduced noise. RunForward also debuts: The new Pirelli technology allows the vehicle to continue driving despite a flat tire, in order to reach the nearest garage. In developing this tire, Pirelli used advanced virtualization technologies based on artificial intelligence, neural networks
    and driving simulations. Pirelli's R&D department increasingly relies on machine learning to predict the performance of each tire under different driving conditions, even before a physical prototype is produced. These simulation systems can predict tire behavior based on previous developments, providing efficient solutions.



    PIRELLI'S NEW RUNFORWARD TECHNOLOGY


    Pirelli's new RunForward technology is used for the first time in the P Zero E. Pirelli developed it to help drivers maintain control of the vehicle and continue driving despite a flat tire. The system consists of reinforced plates on the inner and outer sidewalls of the tire. They support the structure and allow a top speed of 80 km/h over a distance of up to 40 kilometers, even at zero pressure****. Using vehicle dynamics simulations, Pirelli engineers optimized the position and shape of these structural reinforcements with two objectives: to ensure resistance when driving with a flat tire while maintaining an A rating for rolling resistance. Tires equipped with Pirelli RunForward technology, due to their structure and compounds, provide ride and noise comfort comparable to that of a conventional tire. At the same time, rolling resistance remains low. Pirelli developed this technology especially for battery electric vehicles, which require quiet tires and are often not equipped with a spare wheel due to the size of the batteries. Another advantage of Pirelli RunForward tires: No special rims are needed to take advantage of all the benefits of this technology.

    of this technology.
