UAE, September 21, 2021 – Pirelli has equipped the Lamborghini Countach in all its various guises – from the 1971 original to the new LPI 800-4, limited to 112 examples – in a technical partnership that has lasted for 50 years. And one of the most enduring collaborations in the automotive world continues to this day, with Pirelli and Lamborghini still jointly developing cutting-edge technology that centres around performance, sportiness, and control.
The 2021 Lamborghini Countach is a hybrid supercar that puts out 814 horsepower and goes on to a top speed of 355kph, forming a fitting tribute to an iconic model name that celebrates its 50th birthday this year. Pirelli has equipped the new car with P Zero tyres in 255/30 R20 size at the front and 355/25 R 21 at the back, developed to enhance vehicle performance as well as safety, control and handling. The tyre structure and compound have been optimised to reach the best possible roadholding in all driving situations, plus high levels of traction and braking in the wet as well as the dry. The Pirelli P Zero was born as an ultra high-performance (UHP) tyre, which unites Pirelli’s motorsport know-how with an ongoing collaboration involving the world’s top car manufacturers. For drivers looking for even more performance on a race track, the P Zero Corsa is available as an option: tyres that transfer the best of motorsport technology into use for both road and track. A dual compound tread and asymmetric design delivers the correct balance to achieve high speeds on track as well as generating the necessary amount of grip and traction. On top of that, the P Zero Corsa offers strong resistance to the high thermodynamic stresses created by the cars that they are fitted to.
