Bridgestone has been selected as the exclusive tire partner for Lamborghini’s new Temerario supercar, which will debut in 2025.
“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,” said Cristian Mastro, marketing director at Lamborghini.
The partnership, continuing an existing long-term collaboration, involves the development of three custom-engineered tire fitments for the hybrid high-performance electrified vehicle (HPEV). These include the Potenza Sport and Potenza Race tires for summer and track conditions, and the Blizzak LM005 tire for winter driving.
The tires, designed to optimize the supercar’s performance across various conditions, were developed using Bridgestone’s virtual tire development (VTD) technology. This technology, used at Bridgestone’s R&D center in Italy, aims to enhance efficiency and sustainability by reducing the need for physical prototypes and vehicle tests, thus lowering raw material consumption and CO2 emissions during the development process.
“After the Lamborghini Huracán STO, Tecnica, Sterrato, Huracán EVO and the V12 Hybrid HPEV Lamborghini Revuelto, the Temerario is the latest Lamborghini super sportscar to be equipped with bespoke Bridgestone tires as original equipment,” explained 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 offering class-beating performance. As Lamborghini’s official technical partner, we’re very excited to continue our journey together as we push the boundaries of electrification and advance a new era of sustainable motorsports.”
The tires will be available in eight sizes across 20” and 21” dimensions and will be manufactured in Europe.
