Bridgestone Unleashes Ultimate Performance with Exclusive Pininfarina Battista Partnership

Bridgestone, a global leader in sustainable mobility solutions, has proudly announced its exclusive partnership with Automobili Pininfarina, becoming the sole tire supplier for the breathtaking Battista. This isn't just any electric vehicle; the Battista is a pure-electric hyper GT, a masterpiece of Italian design and engineering, destined to redefine automotive performance.

This collaboration highlights Bridgestone's unwavering commitment to shaping a more sustainable future of mobility through groundbreaking innovation.

The challenge was monumental: create a tire capable of harnessing the colossal power of the Battista while ensuring unparalleled safety, control, and efficiency.

Bridgestone rose to the occasion, meticulously engineering custom Potenza Sport tires. This wasn't a last-minute decision; the partnership began at the earliest stages of the Battista's development, leveraging advanced virtual simulations and comprehensive real-world testing to perfectly match the tire to the vehicle's unique dynamics.

At the heart of these bespoke tires lies Bridgestone’s revolutionary ENLITEN Technology.

This innovative approach focuses on minimizing raw material use while maximizing performance. For the Battista, ENLITEN translates into tires that are lighter, offer incredibly low rolling resistance – crucial for optimizing the hyper GT's range – and deliver exceptional wet and dry grip, alongside pin-sharp steering response.

It’s a testament to Bridgestone’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for electric vehicle tire performance.

Imagine a vehicle unleashing 1,900 horsepower and a staggering 2,340 Nm of torque, catapulting from 0 to 100 km/h in under two seconds. These are the mind-bending figures the Potenza Sport tires are designed to manage.

They provide the critical connection between the Battista’s formidable power and the road, ensuring every kilowatt is translated into electrifying acceleration and confidence-inspiring braking and cornering. Drivers can experience the full, exhilarating potential of this hyper GT, knowing their tires are engineered for extreme demands.

Beyond raw power, sustainability is a core pillar of this partnership.

Both Bridgestone and Automobili Pininfarina are deeply committed to pioneering greener solutions. This shared vision extends to the tire development process itself, with Bridgestone even utilizing carbon black sourced from end-of-life tires for the construction of a new tire test track. This holistic approach underscores a mutual dedication to a more sustainable automotive ecosystem.

The custom-engineered Potenza Sport tires feature a unique compound, tread pattern, and construction, tailored specifically for the Battista.

They come in precise sizes: 275/35 R20 for the front and 315/30 R21 for the rear, perfectly complementing the Battista’s aggressive stance and handling characteristics. Every aspect has been optimized to ensure the Battista performs at its peak, whether on a challenging track or cruising on the open road.

The Automobili Pininfarina Battista itself is a beacon of exclusivity, with only 150 units planned for global production, each commanding a price tag of around 2.2 million euros.

This elite partnership with Bridgestone further elevates the Battista’s status, guaranteeing that every single one of these hyper GTs rolls off the line equipped with tires that are as revolutionary and meticulously crafted as the vehicle itself. It’s a synergy of innovation, luxury, and unparalleled performance.
