The P Zero for everyday driving, the P Zero Corsa for those who love racing along the track and the Scorpion Winter 2 to tackle winter challenges. For the Porsche Cayenne's latest facelift, Pirelli has developed three different tyre treads covering the entire range of wheel rims, from 20 to 22 inches. This marks the continuation of the partnership between Porsche and Pirelli, who has been supplying bespoke tyres for every generation of the Cayenne since 2002.
THE P ZERO TO DRIVE THE CAYENNE ON THE STREETS EVERY DAY
Driveability, precision steering, stability, and safety even in emergency manoeuvres are the features that the Pirelli P Zero delivers for the new facelift. Specifically, when braking on wet road surfaces, all tyre sizes achieved the highest classification on the European label. What's more, the tyre is also designed to support the high torque and loads the car exerts on the tyres, especially at high speeds.
THE P ZERO CORSA: RECORD-BREAKING PERFORMANCE FOR RACING ENTHUSIASTS
The Pirelli P Zero Corsa is on the other hand the tyre designed for even sportier use of the Porsche Cayenne and is also ideal for driving on the track. This product is derived from the P Zero Corsa thanks to which the Porsche Cayenne GT set the record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2021. The P Zero Corsa for the new Cayenne, just like the one that contributed to achieving that record, is made with tread compounds derived from motorsports, developed to support the fastest cars in the world in the championships in which Pirelli is engaged every year.
THE SCORPION WINTER 2: SAFETY AND COMFORT EVEN IN THE COLD
The new version of the Porsche Cayenne is one of the first cars to receive a specific Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 tyre type-approved for the cold season, across the car's entire rim size range. To develop the winter tyre, the challenge tackled by Pirelli's engineers was even more demanding: to ensure safety at low temperatures and on snow while maintaining superior performance levels in wet and dry conditions, with the same level of sportiness that Porsche would expect from a summer tyre. To achieve this, Pirelli's R&D team created a dedicated winter tyre compound, capable of ensuring driving comfort but also outstanding grip in critical conditions.
PIRELLI ON THE CAYENNE FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT
Launched in 2002, the Cayenne inaugurated the sports SUV segment. From the first model to the present day, Pirelli has always worked alongside the company based in Stuttgart to develop tyres that keep up with various model developments, such as the Cayenne S Hybrid, the first hybrid car in the Porsche range, followed by the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, the hybrid plug-in version, up to the current Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, the most powerful Cayenne ever made, together with the traditional power train facelift.
