Zonda R Pagani: the fastest car in the world with Pirelli P Zero Slick

Pirelli - Pagani record lap-time in Nürburgring ... Zonda R Pagani: the fastest car in the world with Pirelli P Zero Slick

Pagani Zonda R set a new record on the Nordschleife circuit in Nürburgring covering the  20.83km in 6'47", with Pirelli P Zero Slick tyres (measuring 265/645-19TL, 325/705-20TL).

The Zonda R beat a record set a few months ago by another extreme supercar with a competitor's tyres.

The record was made possible by the Pirelli P Zero Slick tyres made from the solutions, profiles and materials typical of Pirelli's Motorsport Racing production, ensuring excellent grip on the asphalt and ability to transfer all the power of the car onto the ground.

Designed exclusively by Pirelli for the Modena-built supercar, the P Zero Slick tyres were manufactured in Milan on the new generation line of Mirs, the innovative robotized production process patented by Pirelli, covering the entire manufacturing cycle from compounds to the finished product, without interruptions or energy wasted. The Mirs process is representative of Pirelli's excellence in technology, and focuses on production of  Ultra High Performance and Motorsport tyres.

Other factors that contributed to the high-performance grip can be linked to a 200 kg weight reduction of the Zonda R compared with the road version, with its carbon-titanium chassis, lighter suspensions, low centre of gravity, polar inertia reduction and excellent aerodynamic load.
