Description
The Pirelli P ZERO™ TROFEO RS is an ultra-high-performance, track-focused semi-slick tyre designed for supercars and hypercars, offering maximum dry grip, braking, and handling consistency thanks to advanced multi-compounds, a semi-slick outer shoulder, and Virtual Geometry Development technology derived from motorsport. While homologated for road use, its primary purpose is on-track performance, featuring an asymmetric tread pattern and ultra-low profile for enhanced lateral grip and dynamic stability at high speeds.
Key Features & Technologies:
- Multi-compound Tread:Utilizes special compounds with a wide operating range, focusing on lap time and track endurance, and balancing performance with ease and predictability on the road.
- Virtual Geometry Development:Pirelli uses advanced simulation to quickly and efficiently design and refine the tyre’s profile, tread models, contact patch, and behaviour in a digital environment.
- Semi-Slick Shoulder:The outer shoulder has minimal grooves, providing support and a wider contact patch during strong lateral acceleration and extreme driving conditions.
- Asymmetric Tread Pattern:An ultra-low profile, asymmetric pattern is designed to provide high grip, excellent dry braking, and optimal handling balance.
- Motorsport-Derived Construction:Advanced materials and construction, including new reinforcements and full control of geometry and volumes, are adopted from Pirelli’s motorsport experience to stabilize performance under hard handling.
Target Application:
- Supercars & Hypercars:Engineered to allow these vehicles to exploit their full performance potential on the track.
- On-Road Performance:Designed to be homologated for road use, providing consistent grip and control on both the track and road, though with a focus on dry performance.
Performance Characteristics:
- Enhanced Dry Grip & Handling: Delivers superior grip and precise handling in dry conditions, allowing for high-speed driving and cornering.
- Consistent Performance: New compounds and construction methods provide stable performance even during demanding track sessions, with quick and uniform heating of the tread.
- High Durability: Maintains consistency and durability over the course of a track session.
