We are pleased to announce that Bridgestone has been chosen as original equipment supplier for the Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica* super sports car.

Potenza Sport tyres have an asymmetrical tread pattern for better steering response and cornering stability, as well as an internal crown structure that distributes cornering pressure evenly. These features are combined with the newly developed compound that improves grip.

As next-generation ultra-high performance tyre, Potenza Sport sets a new standard in premium sports segment, providing the best-in-class performance on dry and wet roads, as demonstrated by the results of tests conducted by third party independent institute TÜV SÜD¹⁾.

Bridgestone Potenza Race, a semi-slick tyre developed for the track days and with road homologation, guarantees excellent grip on dry roads thanks to the optimised compound, the innovative tread pattern and the sporty profile that increases handling.
To highlight is the best lap time, the best dry braking and the outstanding track longevity, from the first to the last lap, as demonstrated by the tests conducted by the third party independent institute TÜV SÜD²⁾.
