Pirelli supplies tires for Super-SUV Lamborghini Urus SE

More performance for the high-performance hybrid SUV is to be delivered by the specially developed P Zero Elect. The concept takes the high torques into account but is also intended to offer low rolling resistance.

The Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli and the VW subsidiary Lamborghini have jointly developed custom-made 21-, 22-, and 23-inch P Zero tires as well as a 22-inch Scorpion Winter 2 for the new Urus SE, the first plug-in hybrid version of Lamborghini's SUV. They are the result of a long and intensive combined development program, in which the tires were driven at over 300 km/h on the Nardò racetrack in Italy as well as at minus 30 degrees Celsius in the Arctic Circle, the supplier explained.

 

The four new tire types bear the Elect marking on their sidewall. It represents a technology package aimed at enhancing the characteristics of electrified vehicles. The construction, tread pattern, and rubber compounds of the new tires have been optimized to meet the high torque demands of the Urus SE as well as its weight, reduce driving noise, and extend battery life through lower rolling resistance.
