“To speak of sustainability today,” said Provera, “means first of all to speak of technologies which permit the constant improvement of our quality of life. The ‘old’ Europe cannot compete with emerging countries from the point of view of production costs and internal demand, but something which can ensure our future, without doubt, is being more advanced in our search for sustainable models of industrial growth. In this sense, Italy and Europe have developed points of excellence which they export to the rest of the world.”

Porsche to fit 19” Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 to new 911 Carrera

In addition to its performance characteristics, the 911 Carrera 2 was designed to meet lower carbon dioxide emission requirements; therefore Goodyear’s FuelSaving Technology informed Porsche’s decision to award the contract to the tyre. The technology is driven by reduced tyre weight and a new ‘high surface’ silica grade that contributes to reduced heat generation, lowering the rolling resistance. Active Braking Technology uses three dimensional block design within the tyre tread to increase contact with the road under braking.
