Pirelli equips the first Porsche 911 hybrid with custom-designed tyres

International. The Italian firm developed exclusive versions of the P Zero R and Winter 2 for the new Porsche 911 GTS, the first hybrid model in this iconic line.

Pirelli is strengthening its partnership with Porsche by equipping the new 911 GTS, the first hybrid model in the 911 family, with tyres specifically designed to meet the demands of this innovative engine.

The tyre of choice is a tailor-made version of the P Zero R, developed with advanced simulation technology to strike a balance between high performance and everyday driving. A winter variant, the P Zero Winter 2, was also designed to ensure sporty behaviour even in extreme cold conditions. Both tyres bear the "N" mark on the sidewall, which certifies their exclusive homologation for Porsche.

Thanks to the use of Pirelli's Virtual Development Centre (VDC) in Germany, the design of these tyres was able to reduce development time and the number of physical prototypes by 30%. This methodology allowed to fine-tune every detail of the P Zero R, which offers excellent wet grip, low noise and energy efficiency in line with the needs of the new hybrid system.

The P Zero Winter 2, meanwhile, incorporates a directional tread that improves traction on snow and wet surfaces, without sacrificing dry performance.

This launch marks a new chapter in the collaboration between Pirelli and Porsche, which now has 338 approvals for models across all ranges, including sedans, SUVs and sports cars, both combustion and hybrid and electric. Highlights include the P Zero Trofeo RS for the 911 GT3 RS and the Scorpion All Terrain Plus for the 911 Dakar.
