Bridgestone supplying tyres for limited-edition Lamborghini Fenomeno
Bridgestone has been named sole tyre partner for Lamborghini’s new Fenomeno supercar.
Launching to mark the 20th anniversary of the first car entirely designed by the Sant’Agata Bolognese design department, the Fenomeno celebrates both Lamborghini’s iconic design and brand exclusivity, with only 29 models of the limited-edition vehicle produced.
With a 1080 CV powertrain, the Fenomeno is Lamborghini’s fastest-ever model – both in the 0-100 km/h sprint (2.4 seconds) and 0-200 km/h sprint (6.7 seconds).
As Lamborghini’s official technical partner, Bridgestone says it has custom-engineered Potenza tyres perfectly matching what’s also the most powerful V12 ever produced by the Italian manufacturer.
Available in 265/30 ZRF21 (front) and 355/25 ZRF22 (rear) sizes, the custom Bridgestone Potenza Sport ultra-high performance tyres deliver outstanding performance at high speeds, excellent steering responses and precision to handle the supercar’s 1080HP power output, according to the manufacturer.
The premium Potenza Sport tyres are available with Bridgestone’s Run Flat Technology (RFT), enabling drivers to continue driving safely after a puncture for 80km at up to 80km/h with 0-bar pressure.
The Lamborghini Fenomeno will also be available with high-grip, semi-slick bespoke Bridgestone tyres delivering track-level performance while remaining fully homologated for public roads.
Custom-engineered to unlock every ounce of the exclusive supercar’s potential, the track-oriented fitment developed for the Fenomeno will be available in 20- and 21-inch sizes.
“Our long-standing partnership with Lamborghini is rooted in a shared passion for innovation, excellence and top performance,” said Radoslaw Bolkowski, vice president OE sales at Bridgestone EMEA.
“With the Fenomeno, our team had the challenge of unleashing the full potential of Lamborghini’s most powerful V12 ever – and they’ve delivered. The custom-engineered Bridgestone Potenza tyres offer the control, grip and precision needed to enhance this car’s exceptional capabilities – on both the road and track.”
“At Lamborghini, design and performance go hand in hand – and with Bridgestone, we have a partner who understands both,” said Christian Mastro, Lamborghini marketing director.
“Tyres are a vital part of how a supercar performs: outside of technical updates, 70 per cent of the improvements in these cars today come from advances in the tyres they sit on. Bridgestone’s bespoke Potenza line-up ensures that every drive in the Fenomeno can deliver against this vehicle’s stunning speed and power.”
