UAE, 12 September 2021 – The Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R has set a fresh record with the new Audi RS 3 at the legendary Nurburgring circuit in Germany, showcasing the capabilities of Pirelli’s most sporting street tyre. The Audi set a new record of 7m40.748s on the 20.8-kilometre circuit, beating the previous record for compact cars by 4.64 seconds, which was established back in 2019.
This record was achieved thanks also to the performance of the Trofeo R tyres, in 265/30Z R19 size at the front and 245/35Z R19 at the back. The larger tyres at the front are a particular factor in enhancing the driving experience to deliver a sportier feel.
