Bridgestone is the exclusive tyre supplier for the optional GTI-performance package for the Golf GTI
Edition 50

Bridgestone, a premium tyres and sustainable mobility solutions provider, 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 24-hour race held at Germany’s Nürburgring – where the
exclusive model already set the fastest-ever Nürburgring lap time for a Volkswagen production model.
