This unique collaboration emphasizes Bridgestone's commitment to delivering exceptional tire solutions that enhance the performance of Lamborghini's high-speed vehicles.

With a power-packed V12 hybrid engine, the Lamborghini Revuelto SV stands as the brand's fastest and most powerful production vehicle to date, boasting a top speed exceeding 215 mph and an astonishing 0 to 60 mph acceleration in just 2.4 seconds. During the launch event, Adrien Thormann, Director of OE Sales at Bridgestone EMEA, highlighted the synergy between Lamborghini and Bridgestone in realizing this innovative tire development.
