The Fiorano track witnessed the conclusion of the testing phase for the new Pirelli P Zero Corsa System tyres, specifically developed for the Enzo Ferrari supercar. Maintaining the original size and aspect ratio, these tyres incorporate advanced materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure exceptional grip, performance, and safety comparable to modern tyres. The P Zero Corsa System tyres are available in the original sizes of 245/35 R19 for the front and 345/35 R19 for the rear. These tyres feature two distinct directional and asymmetric tread patterns to effectively counter aquaplaning.
Ferrari has also approved the use of P Zero and P Zero Corsa System tyres from Pirelli’s Collezione range as aftermarket options for the F40 and F50 models. The Pirelli P Zero tyres, first introduced on the Ferraro F40 in 1987, have been updated and are available in the original sizes of 245/40 R17 for the front and 335/35 R17 for the rear. These updated versions retain the original tyre wall lettering for authenticity.
For the 1995 Ferrari F50, P Zero Corsa System tyres are available in sizes 245/35 R18 for the front and 335/30 R18 for the rear. These tyres underwent rigorous development testing at Fiorano to ensure they preserve the handling characteristics and feel of the original tyres.
Upcoming Development for Ferrari GTO Tyres
Pirelli is also developing a tyre for the 1984 Ferrari GTO, which will be celebrated with a Legacy Tour from October 1st to 4th, covering a route from the Italian Dolomites to Maranello. The P7 Cinturato tyre, originally developed for the World Rally Championship in 1974 and launched on production sports cars in 1976, will be available for the GTO. These tyres, sized 225/50 R16 for the front and 265/50 R16 for the rear, combine a period look with modern materials and construction technology to enhance handling.
Ferrari’s official approval of replacement tyres for these iconic supercars underscores its commitment to providing owners with the assurance that their historically significant vehicles can be driven safely on contemporary roads.
The Iconic Ferrari Supercars
Unveiled at the 1984 Geneva International Motor Show, the Ferrari GTO garnered immediate acclaim for its V8 turbo engine, Pininfarina design, and advanced composite bodywork. Initially planned for Group B racing homologation with 200 units, the GTO’s success led to the production of 272 units, establishing it as Ferrari’s first supercar.
Launched in 1987 to mark Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, the F40 epitomized exclusivity and performance. Featuring a mid-longitudinally mounted 2.9-liter engine producing 478 horsepower, the F40 became an icon among supercars, with 1,311 units produced, including competition variants F40 LM and F40 GT-E.
Debuting at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show for Ferrari’s 50th anniversary, the F50 featured a naturally aspirated V12 engine derived from Formula 1. With a monocoque chassis and advanced aerodynamics, the F50’s design aimed to deliver a racing car experience, producing 349 units.
Produced between 2002 and 2004, the Enzo Ferrari continued the tradition of incorporating Formula 1 technology into road cars. With a 660-horsepower V12 engine and aerodynamic design, the Enzo Ferrari achieved unparalleled performance, with 399 units produced, ensuring its exclusivity.
