Bridgestone, a global leader in premium tyres and sustainable mobility solutions, has been named sole tyre partner for Lamborghini's new Fenomeno supercar. Launching to mark the 20th anniversary of the first car entirely designed by the Sant'Agata Bolognese design department, the Fenomeno celebrates both Lamborghini's iconic design and brand exclusivity, with only 29 models of the limited-edition vehicle produced. With a 1080 CV powertrain, the Fenomeno is Lamborghini's fastest-ever model – both in the 0-100 km/h sprint (2.4 seconds) and 0-200 km/h sprint (6.7 seconds). As Lamborghini's 'Official Technical Partner', Bridgestone has custom-engineered tyres perfectly matching what's also the most powerful V12 ever produced by the Italian manufacturer. Leveraging its decades-long motorsports legacy and the pedigree of its iconic Potenza tyre family, Bridgestone has developed premium tyres specifically to enhance the Fenomeno's outstanding capabilities. Available in 265/30 ZRF21 (front) and 355/25 ZRF22 (rear) sizes, the custom Bridgestone Potenza Sport ultra-high performance tyres deliver outstanding performance at high speeds, excellent steering responses and precision to handle the supercar's 1080HP power output. The premium Potenza Sport tyres are available with Bridgestone's Run Flat Technology (RFT), enabling drivers to continue driving safely after a puncture for 80km at up to 80kph with 0-bar pressure 1. The Lamborghini Fenomeno will also be available with high-grip, semi-slick bespoke Bridgestone tyres delivering track-level performance while remaining fully homologated for public roads. Custom-engineered to unlock every ounce of the exclusive supercar's potential, the track-oriented fitment developed for the Fenomeno will be available in 20 and 21-inch sizes. 1 Driving distance after a puncture may vary depending on vehicle load, outside temperature, and when the TPMS is triggered. 'Our long-standing partnership with Lamborghini is rooted in a shared passion for innovation, excellence and top performance,' said Radoslaw Bolkowski, Vice President OE Sales at Bridgestone EMEA. 'With the Fenomeno, our team had the challenge of unleashing the full potential of Lamborghini's most powerful V12 ever – and they've delivered. The custom engineered Bridgestone Potenza tyres offer the control, grip and precision needed to enhance this car's exceptional capabilities – on both the road and track.' 'At Lamborghini, design and performance go hand in hand – and with Bridgestone, we have a partner who understands both,' said Christian Mastro, Lamborghini's Marketing Director. 'Tyres are a vital part of how a supercar performs: outside of technical updates, 70 per cent of the improvements in these cars today come from advances in the tyres they sit on. Bridgestone's bespoke Potenza line-up ensures that every drive in the Fenomeno can deliver against this vehicle's stunning speed and power.' Exclusive partner for Lamborghini's complete supercar garage: The Fenomeno marks the latest in a long series of collaborations between Lamborghini and its 'Official Technical Partner', Bridgestone. In five years of partnership, Bridgestone has been chosen as exclusive tyre partner for the complete range of Lamborghini's supercar garage including the Huracán STO, STJ, Tecnica, EVO, Sterrato, Lamborghini Revuelto, Lamborghini Temerario and now the Fenomeno. Developed and produced in Italy, Bridgestone premium fitments designed specifically for the Fenomeno have been engineered using the company's groundbreaking Virtual Tyre Development (VTD) technology. VTD improves both the efficiency and sustainability of the tyre development process. It eliminates around 200 physical prototypes, cuts physical vehicle tests by 80 percent, and reduces development time by up to 50 percent. The technology leads to a reduction of up to 60 percent in raw material consumption and CO2 emissions in the development phase of original equipment tyres.

Fenomeno: The most powerful Lamborghini ever
Automobili Lamborghini has taken the wraps off its latest few-off creation, the Fenomeno, a hypercar limited to just 29 units worldwide. Unveiled at Monterey Car Week 2025, the Fenomeno represents the most powerful Lamborghini ever built, combining heritage, exclusivity, and groundbreaking technology. advertisementPowertrainAt the heart of the Fenomeno is a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, delivering 835 CV at 9,250rpm, paired with three electric motors. Together, the hybrid powertrain produces a staggering 1,080bhp, unmatched in Lamborghini's history and 65bhp more, compared to the Revuelto. The car rockets from 0–100kmph in just 2.4 seconds and 0–200kmph in 6.7 seconds, before topping 350kmph. With a weight-to-power ratio of just 1.64kg/CV, it sets a new benchmark for Sant'Agata's raging bulls. The V12 is paired with three electric motors: two oil-cooled axial units on the front axle, and one radial motor integrated into a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 7kWh lithium-ion battery sits in the central tunnel, enabling zero-emission four-wheel drive in certain modes. The gearbox, mounted transversely, keeps weight low and allows ultra-fast shifts, with features such as continuous downshift for track driving Styled by Lamborghini Centro Stile, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, the Fenomeno is described as a 'design manifesto.' It adopts a futuristic longtail silhouette, clean puristic lines, and extensive use of carbon fiber, blending elegance with aerodynamics. The front features racing-inspired air intakes, a new Y-shaped DRL signature, and debuts Lamborghini's new logo. The side profile is defined by a single flowing line, while the rear showcases a vertical reinterpretation of the brand's iconic Y-shaped lights, flanking a dramatic carbon-fiber diffuser and hexagonal exhaust. Launch colour Giallo Crius emphasises the muscular and chassis Fenomeno's aero package includes an S-Duct system, air curtains, concave roof channeling, and a mobile 'omega-shaped' rear wing. These features, along with 30 per cent more efficient side cooling, ensure maximum downforce and stability at the car is Lamborghini's monofuselage chassis, a lightweight carbon-fiber structure with a forged composite front section. Race-derived single-nut forged rims (21-inch front, 22-inch rear) are wrapped in custom Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres, also available in semi-slick track-ready performance hardware Braking is handled by the new CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic system, derived from Lamborghini's LMDh race cars. Suspension uses adjustable racing shocks for track tuning, while dynamics are managed by a 6D sensor feeding real-time data to Lamborghini's Integrated Vehicle Estimator (IVE). This system optimizes braking, torque vectoring, and stability in all and customisation Inside, the Fenomeno embraces Lamborghini's 'Feel like a pilot' philosophy. The minimalist cockpit features three digital displays, carbon-fiber bucket seats, 3D-printed air vents, and ambient lighting that accentuates its spaceship-like the Ad Personam program, customers can tailor their Fenomeno with over 400 exterior paints and near-limitless interior combinations, ensuring each of the 29 cars remains unique. The Fenomeno continues Lamborghini's tradition of few-offs such as the Reventón (2007), Sesto Elemento (2010), Veneno (2013), Centenario (2016), Sin (2019) and Countach LPI 800-4 (2021). Its name comes from a celebrated bull in Mexico in 2002, symbolizing bravery and to Auto Today Magazine- Ends
