Bridgestone has unveiled its latest semi-slick track tire, the Bridgestone Potenza Race R. The tire debuted alongside the 2026 Lamborghini Revuelto SV (Super Veloce) as a bespoke variant of the track tire for the new SV supercar.
Elevating the track performance of the Bridgestone Potenza Race, the Potenza Race R combines a motorsport-inspired compound with a new aggressive pattern for extreme dry grip and handling. The high-grip tire reportedly offers fast warm-up and consistent times from the first to last lap, maximizing the Revuelto SV’s capabilities. It is fully homologated for public roads.
Bridgestone, Lamborghini’s official technical partner and exclusive tire supplier, has developed a bespoke tire line-up for the Revuelto SV. The range includes the Potenza Race R, Potenza Sport and Blizzak LM005, covering track, high-performance and winter driving requirements.
Powered by a V12 hybrid powertrain and influenced by Lamborghini’s racing heritage, the Revuelto SV is the fastest and most powerful production Lamborghini built in Sant’Agata Bolognese. It has a top speed of more than 345km/h and accelerates from 0-100km/h in 2.4 seconds.
“The Lamborghini Revuelto SV is the perfect vehicle to introduce our new, bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race R and showcase what it can do. And Lamborghini has been a brilliant partner in helping bring our vision to life,” said Adrien Thormann, director of OE sales at Bridgestone Europe. “In 2023, Lamborghini chose Bridgestone as exclusive tire partner for the Revuelto, its first-ever super sports V12 HPEV. Three years later, the incredible Revuelto SV launches with Bridgestone as sole tire partner once again.”
According to Bridgestone, the ultra-high-performance fitment delivers exceptional high-speed performance and steering precision on dry and wet surfaces. Revuelto SV drivers can select the custom Potenza Sport with Bridgestone’s Run Flat Technology (RFT). RFT enables drivers to continue safely after a puncture for 80km at up to 80km/h with 0-bar pressure.
Completing the line-up, Bridgestone has developed a bespoke Blizzak LM005 winter fitment for challenging cold-weather conditions.
Bridgestone’s fitments feature the unique Lamborghini marking – highlighting their exclusive development – and are available in 20in and 21in (front-rear) sizes: 265/35 ZR20 (99Y) and 345/30 ZR21 (111Y). All four fitments were developed and manufactured in Italy.
“At Lamborghini, Super Veloce signifies extreme performance, which is perfectly embodied by the new Revuelto SV,” said Alessandro Farmeschi, Automobili Lamborghini Revuelto product line director. “Every detail has been optimized – from aerodynamics and power delivery to the bespoke Bridgestone tire line-up that matches the vehicle’s extraordinary capabilities. The pairing of the Revuelto SV and the new Bridgestone Potenza Race R reflects our shared commitment to engineering at the cutting edge of performance.”
The Revuelto SV’s bespoke Bridgestone tire line-up was developed using Bridgestone’s proprietary Virtual Tyre Development (VTD) technology, which improves the efficiency and sustainability of the tire development process. According to Bridgestone, VTD can reduce raw material consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 60% in the development phase.
