Pirelli tyres have been tested under extreme conditions and have been tailored to the very high performance of the Urus SE, the new plug-in hybrid version of Lamborghini's super-SUV. The P Zero in three sizes, namely 21”, 22” and 23”, tested at over 300 km/h on the track in Nardò, and 22” Scorpion Winter 2, driven over the snow of the Arctic Circle with temperatures down to -30°, to offer the car the ideal equipment in all conditions. To handle the powerful performance and weight of electric vehicles, reduce road noise, and maximise battery life, Pirelli has engineered these tyres with Elect™ technology, designed to elevate the driving experience.
A P ZERO FOR EVERY NEED
The three Pirelli P Zero tyres for the new Lamborghini Urus SE meet the varied and complementary needs of the car. While the 21” option prioritises comfort, the 23” variant offers superior performance and is also the most popular. Pirelli and Lamborghini have fine-tuned the steering to deliver a more engaging driving experience, providing sharp, precise handling for both daily commutes and track days. Engineered with high-performance materials, these components can handle extreme forces, reducing heat and wear. This allows for aggressive driving manoeuvres like drifting. In addition, the use of compounds that are less sensitive to thermal shock makes the P Zero for the Lamborghini Urus reliable in a wide range of conditions and temperatures, even in rain. Pirelli's engineers have gone above and beyond, addressing Lamborghini's request for a comfortable ride and low rolling resistance to enhance efficiency.
SCORPION WINTER 2, THE WINTER TYRE TESTED IN THE ARCTIC
The Scorpion Winter 2 is the latest update to the winter tyre designed by Pirelli specifically for SUVs. Safety in cold months, especially on snow, is achieved thanks to the 3D structure of the tread pattern where the sipes, with wear, take on a zigzag pattern, allowing the tyre to be effective for its entire lifespan. For the Lamborghini Urus SE, Pirelli's R&D department has in particular worked on materials, providing the product with even greater traction thanks to a specific compound tested at the Arctic Circle. The advanced compound in this tire ensures a perfect balance of performance on dry roads and outstanding traction on slippery surfaces, even in the coldest conditions.
PIRELLI AND LAMBORGHINI URUS: A LONG STORY
The new P Zero and Scorpion Winter 2 supplement the other solutions developed by Pirelli for the previous versions of the Urus: the summer 21”, 22” and 23” P Zero and the 22” P Zero Corsa”; the 22” Scorpion Zero All Season; the 21” and 22” Scorpion Winter tyres, and the 21” Scorpion Ice Zero 2 (studded). In addition, for the Lamborghini Urus Performante, Pirelli has for the first time adapted the P Zero Trofeo R to the needs of an SUV. With this 22” semi-slick tyre, specifically designed for the track but road-legal, the Urus Performante set a new category record in 2022 at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the world's most famous hill climb race.
