Milan, 10 June 2026 \u2013 A new N\u00fcrburgring record has been set by the P Zero Trofeo RS, this time with the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Manthey Kit in the electric vehicle category. Equipped with Pirelli\u2019s semi-slick tyres, the car completed a lap in 6:55 minutes, breaking the traditional seven-minute barrier and outperforming every other production electric car. The bespoke Pirelli tyres provided an additional reserve of grip, helping shave precious seconds on the world\u2019s most demanding circuit. The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Manthey Kit thus improved on the 7:07.5 benchmark set by the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach in 2023. The tailor-made version of the P Zero Trofeo RS also incorporates Pirelli Elect technology, an advanced package of solutions designed to enhance the characteristics of electrified vehicles and contribute to improved vehicle dynamics.<\/p>\n
P Zero Trofeo RS: the benchmark for the track<\/p>\n
With this latest N\u00fcrburgring achievement, the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS confirms its status as the tyre to beat on the track. First developed as original equipment for hypercars and supercars, and already available in bespoke versions for Stuttgart-based models such as the Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS, it is now also available on the replacement market, bringing Pirelli\u2019s experience gained through tailor-made fitments for the highest-performing prestige and premium models to all customers. It is designed for drivers seeking ultra-high-performance tyres capable of maximising the sporting performance of their cars. Although conceived for track use, it is also homologated for road driving.<\/p>\n
The version developed specifically for the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Manthey Kit is the first production tyre made with more than 50% certified bio-based and recycled materials to contribute to a N\u00fcrburgring record. This percentage is identified by a dedicated logo on the tyre sidewall. In addition, the natural rubber used in the tyre is FSC\u00ae (Forest Stewardship Council\u00ae) certified, a label that guarantees responsible management of the supply chain, from forest to factory.<\/p>\n
Tyre Reviews: \u201cThe fastest tyre in the world\u201d<\/p>\n
The qualities of the P Zero Trofeo RS were recently confirmed by the Tyre Reviews platform, which recognised it as \u201cthe best among the fastest tyres in the world,\u201d highlighting its dry performance and remarkable consistency. Auto Bild Sportscars magazine also crowned it the best tyre for track use, awarding it an \u201cExemplary\u201d rating after comparing five road-legal semi-slick tyres.<\/p>\n
Since its debut, the P Zero Trofeo RS has collected records in several categories on the world\u2019s most challenging proving ground. In 2025 alone, it claimed three records on the German circuit: the electric vehicle lap record, the benchmark among compact cars \u2014 breaking the 7:30 barrier for the first time \u2014 and the fastest touring car record.<\/p>\n
