To clarify, there are actually multiple (generations and variants) of the Pilot Sports.

1. The original ones, ofter refered to as PS1s (although this is a misnomer as the tire sidewall simply states Pilot Sport) have been long discontinued (though you still can buy them as a replacement as manufacturers are required to keep extremely small production over a few years after a model is made defunct). The Pilot Sport (misnomered as PS1) looks like this:

2. The Pilot Sport PS2s, or the second generation of Pilot Sports meant as a replacement of the above^^^, are the ones we have seen on every 1 ///M so far. They look like this:

3. There is currently a Pilot Sport 3. It is not widely used (and reviews have not been kind), but nevertheless they are OE equipment on cars like the Audi B8 S4. They look like this:

4. And finally, the one I am hoping for, as it blows all ^^^ 3 out of the water, is the Pilot Super Sport. It looks like this (up untill recently, it was only available for sizing on the Ferrari 599 GTO):
