The partnership between McLaren and Pirelli is the natural consequence of their extensive experience on the racetrack. One result of the close collaboration between McLaren’s designers and Pirelli’s engineers are the tyres developed during the vehicle design phase to support the performance of the McLaren MP4-12C, the high-performance Gran Turismo model developed by the Woking-based manufacturer in 2010. Once again, the test bench offered by competitive racing provided the perfect starting point for the design of the custom tyres for the McLaren P1 supercar released in 2013 which, just like the latest generation of single-seater Formula 1 cars, is powered by a hybrid motor characterised by strong peaks in torque values from the electrical component. The partnership between Pirelli and McLaren continued with the development of the 2015 range, expanded significantly with the arrival of the less niche but no less exciting new British-made coupés and spiders: the 570S, 540C and 570GT, characterised by the exclusive, customised construction (MC is the trademark used to distinguish Pirelli tyres made specifically for McLaren cars) of the latest generation P ZERO™ tyres, which are further enhanced by the Pirelli Noise Cancelling System™ technology for improved acoustic comfort. Go beyond every limit to surpass oneself: this is the spirit that drives McLaren and Pirelli to create, develop and introduce in every new vehicle advanced technology and innovative solutions.

IN DETAIL

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT

Deep dive on new P ZERO™ Market (MC –C) Cyber Tyre™ / P ZERO™ Winter e P ZERO™ Corsa.

Pirelli’s engineers have developed bespoke P Zero™ tyres for the McLaren Artura in 235/35Z R19 size at the front and 295/35 R20 size at the back together with McLaren’s own engineers. The tyres have an asymmetric tread pattern, which gives excellent braking performance to guarantee control of the car under all conditions, particularly when it’s wet. P Zero™ Corsa tyres, developed specifically for use on the track as well as the road, are also available, featuring a compound derived from Pirelli’s motorsport experience. For winter, the McLaren Artura benefits from unique P Zero™ Winter tyres specifically designed to match its characteristics, with a tailor-made compound and tread pattern design that guarantees performance similar to the P Zero™ summer tyre. All three of these tyres for the McLaren Artura can be distinguished by their MC-C markings on the sidewalls, which indicates the unique development that has been carried out by Pirelli especially for McLaren, using Cyber Tyre™ technology.
