Ferrari wants to gradually offer the most modern footwear for all its super sports cars from the past.
Fitting new tires to the often limited series of old super sports cars can be quite a challenge for their owners. Using old tires on high-performance models is undoubtedly a gamble, but on the other hand, any true fan will be pleased to see even the rarest of cars back on the road or circuit. Fortunately, some reputable manufacturers are helping owners of old supercars.
Ferrari, in collaboration with Pirelli, now announces the completion of testing of a new tire for the now 22-year-old Ferrari Enzo (2002-2004). The special version of the P Zero Corsa System rubber will be offered in the original dimensions of the Enza, i.e. 245/35 R19 (front) and 345/35 R19 (rear). However, by using the latest technologies in production, top materials and compounds, it will ensure the iconic supersport a modern level of grip, dynamics and safety. The new tire pattern is also better able to minimize the risk of aquaplaning.
At the same time, the support of its legendary models does not end with the Enzo. The Italian automaker has also officially approved the use of new tires that Pirelli already offers as a non-factory Ferrari product for the F40 and F50 models. In 1987, the F40 was the first ever supercar to wear the then-new Pirelli P Zero series tires. The modern reinterpretation of the footwear today also includes side markings in the same style as at launch.
Ferrari’s aim is to offer tires with a modern compound to the complete portfolio of its older supercars. It is therefore not surprising that, in cooperation with Pirelli, he continues to develop a new tire for the 288 GTO as well.
The price tag of the latest P Zero Corsa System footwear for the Ferrari Enzo has not yet been published by the carmaker or the manufacturer Pirelli. Considering the targeted clientele that owns an old supersport, it will certainly not be enough.
