Bridgestone has been chosen by Lamborghini as its exclusive tire partner for the all-new Lamborghini Temerario. Designed to help answer drivers’ needs, the new tires combine to deliver top performance on and off the track, as well as in challenging winter conditions.
“After the Lamborghini Huracán STO, Tecnica, Sterrato, Huracán EVO and the V12 Hybrid HPEV Lamborghini Revuelto, the Temerario is the latest Lamborghini super sports car to be equipped with bespoke Bridgestone tires as original equipment,” said Steven De Bock, vice president original equipment at Bridgestone EMEA. “Its twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain with three electric motors makes the Temerario part of a new generation of Hybrid HPEVs. We’re very excited to continue our journey together as we push the boundaries of electrification and advance a new era of sustainable motorsports.”
Building on its strong motorsports’ legacy, Bridgestone used its Potenza line for the Temerario’s summer and track fitments, delivering custom-engineered Potenza Sport and Potenza Race tires.
The Temerario’s Potenza Sport ultra-high performance tire is also available in a run-flat homologated version. This allows drivers to maintain control after a puncture and safely continue driving for 50 miles at up to 50 mph. This custom tire provides a higher grip level, superior traction and extreme road driving comfort, alongside safety and peace of mind.
In addition, Bridgestone has engineered a bespoke Potenza Race tire to unleash the incredible performances of the supercar—which applies the first and only production super sportscar engine capable of reaching 10,000 rpm. This unique race fitment delivers excellent grip, enhanced handling and long-lasting performance for all track enthusiasts. The tire’s high-level grip is enabled by a bespoke compound developed for track usage and then transferred to road application.
Completing a full lineup to meet every driver’s needs and demands, Bridgestone has also custom-developed its Blizzak LM005 winter tire for the Temerario. Engineering Bridgestone’s multi-award-winning tire into a bespoke winter fitment, the Blizzak LM005 enables the hybrid supercar to deliver top performance even in extreme winter conditions.
“The Temerario is a new benchmark in the super sportscar segment, offering the highest levels of performance and comfort, and Bridgestone is the perfect partner to help us maximize its potential,” says Cristian Mastro, marketing director at Lamborghini. “Over the years we’ve forged a brilliant partnership that’s broken boundaries again and again.”
The Lamborghini Temerario is set to be launched in 2025, with its custom-engineered Bridgestone tires available in eight dimensions across 20″ and 21″ sizes. The tires will be manufactured in Europe.
