en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tire has set a new lap record for production electric vehicles at the Nürburgring. Fitted with this tire and equipped with the Manthey kit, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT completed a lap in 6 minutes and 55 seconds, surpassing all other production EVs and breaking the traditional 7-minute barrier.
This achievement surpasses the 7:07.5 record set by the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach model in 2023. The tires, specifically tailored by Pirelli for this vehicle, provide an extra grip reserve and integrate Elect technology, a solution designed to optimize the dynamic characteristics and handling of electric vehicles. The P Zero Trofeo RS tire, a benchmark on the track, was initially developed as original equipment for supercars and hypercars, and is already available in customized versions for models such as the Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS. In the Brazilian market, this tire can be purchased on demand through the aftermarket, bringing the experience Pirelli has gained from custom-fitting the highest-performance prestige and high-end vehicles to all customers. It is designed for drivers seeking extreme high performance to maximize their vehicle's sporting potential, and while developed for track use, it is also approved for public roads.
The version developed for the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT equipped with the Manthey kit is the first production tire to be made with over 50% certified bio-based and recycled materials, contributing to the Nürburgring record, a proportion identified by a dedicated marking on the tire sidewall. The natural rubber used in the tire is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, ensuring responsible management of the supply chain from forest to factory.
The quality of the P Zero Trofeo RS was recently confirmed by the platform Tyre Reviews, which rated it as "the best choice among the world's fastest tires," highlighting its performance on dry tracks and exceptional stability. Magazine Auto Bild Sportscars also rated it as the best track tire after comparing five semi-slick tires approved for public roads, awarding it an "exemplary" rating. Since its launch, the P Zero Trofeo RS has accumulated multiple category records on various test tracks worldwide. In 2025 alone, it achieved three records at the Nürburgring: the EV lap record, the compact car benchmark (first to break the 7:30 barrier), and the fastest station wagon record.
