Perfected for Volkswagen Golf GTI’s record-breaking 50th Anniversary model
Bridgestone has developed custom Potenza Race semi-slicks for Volkswagen’s new Golf GTI EDITION 50, the Golf GTI’s exclusive 50th anniversary model.
Engineered to perfectly match and enhance the high-performance capabilities of the fastest and most powerful production GTI to date, Bridgestone’s custom racing fitment leverages the motorsports heritage of its iconic Potenza family.
Developed and produced in Europe, the premium Bridgestone Potenza Race fitment features a high-grip compound with an optimised cavity profile for maximum dry performance, a tread pattern designed to perform even in the wet, and a high-strength, lightweight carcass to reduce rolling resistance.
Volkswagen unveiled the Golf GTI EDITION 50 at the world-famous 24-hour race held at Germany’s iconic Nürburgring, where the exclusive model already set the fastest-ever Nürburgring lap time for a Volkswagen production model.
“Seeing the rally drivers help deliver a record-breaking Nürburgring lap is a brilliant moment for our team and a testament to what is possible when two performance-driven brands collaborate closely. We are proud to help Volkswagen make history once again,” asserted Radoslaw Bolkowski, Vice President, OE Sales, Bridgestone EMEA.
