Giugiaro Design has been closely involved with the development of Vredestein tyres over the past 15 years. Highlights include the Ultrac Cento and Ultrac Sessanta, both of each achieved excellent results in leading independent tests. The name of the Ultrac Vorti was also created by Giugiaro. Inspired by the powerful vortex air flow that is generated, for example, when a helicopter takes off, the name reflects the huge speeds and forces that the Ultrac Vorti can handle, while the tread is reminiscent of the tips of helicopter blades.
