Global leader in premium tyre manufacturing, Bridgestone, has announced that it is the exclusive tyre partner to the new Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster in the latest collaboration between Lamborghini and its Official Technical Partner.
The Lamborghini is now fitted with two custom-engineered Bridgestone Potenza tyres to maximise the supercar’s capabilities on both the road and track.
The new Fenomeno Roadster, of which only 15 cars will be built, is the most exclusive and powerful open top model Lamborghini has ever produced, powered by a 1080 CV V12 hybrid engine.
To harness the immense capabilities for real-world driving, Bridgestone has developed bespoke Potenza Sport ultra-high-performance tyres for the supercar which combine exceptional high-speed performance together with excellent steering response and precision.
As well as developing these special road tyres, the Potenza Sport fitment is paired with a bespoke new-generation semi-slick Bridgestone Potenza tyre, engineered to produce outstanding track-level performance. Developed from its many years working in motorsport, Bridgestone have created a high-grip tyre that is able to unlock the Fenomeno Roadster’s full performance potential on the track, while at the same time remaining fully homologated for use on public roads.
Adrien Thormann, Director of OE Sales at Bridgestone EMEA, commented:
“As Lamborghini’s Official Technical Partner, and exclusive tyre supplier for its complete supercar range, our role is to help Lamborghini drivers experience phenomenal performance. Leveraging Bridgestone’s decades-long motorsports legacy and the pedigree of our iconic Potenza family, these premium tyres deliver exactly that for the immense Fenomeno Roadster – both on the road and track.”
Tyres for the Fenomeno Roadster’s Potenza Sport are available in 265/30 ZRF21 for the front and 355/25 ZRF22 for the rear. While its semi-slick, track-oriented tyres are available in both 20 and 21 inch sizes. Owners can also choose the bespoke Potenza Sport tyre with Bridgestone’s Run-Flat Technology (RFT) allowing them to continue driving safely after a puncture for 80km at up to 80kph with 0-bar pressure. Although driving distances following a puncture may well vary depending on vehicle load, outside temperature and when the TPMS is triggered.
Christian Mastro, Lamborghini’s Marketing Director, added:
“At Lamborghini, unlocking performance is never down to one component – it’s the result of precise engineering working in harmony, and tyres play a decisive role. Through deep collaboration, our partnership with Bridgestone delivers bespoke solutions that fully express each vehicle’s character and the Lamborghini DNA. The Fenomeno Roadster is the latest example of how we continue to push boundaries together.”
This is latest collaboration between Lamborghini and Bridgestone over the last six years of their partnership which began with the Huracan STO in 2021. OE collaborations between the two brands also include the Revuelto, Temerario and Fenomeno as well as a number of other models, making Bridgestone currently the exclusive tyre supplier for Lamborghini’s complete supercar range.
