If you are serious about racing or just sport driving in general, you have to understand that jacking up the engine is only part of the puzzle. Bore it out, bolt-on superchargers, turbochargers, intercoolers -- whatever, none of it will matter if you can't put that power on the road.<!--more-->
Pirelli is celebrating 100 years in motorsports, and to commemorate the anniversary it has unveiled the newest version of its flagship high-performance tire, the P Zero.
Affectionately referred to as P Zero or P Hero, the latest version of the vulcanized performance icon is rated for speeds up to 370 km/h (230 mph). That means that these are track ready.

The latest Pirelli P Zero is already being fitted as standard equipment on cars like the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murciélago and Gallardo, Audi R8 and S8, Aston Martin DB9, Maserati Quattroporte, Jaguar XK, the upcoming Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and an array of high-performance models from Mercedes AMG, Porsche and BMW.
