New Speed Record for Continental Sports Tyres

During the recent record drive session at the “Papenburg 3000” high-performance event, a Klasen Lamborghini Huracán Performance hit a top speed of 384.12 km/h during the 3,000-metre sprint – a new record for a car fitted with Continental sports tires. 

The 865 kW (1180 hp) super-strong sports car was equipped with high-tech tires from Continental’s new SportContact 7 range. The dimensions fitted were 245/30 R 20 on the front axle and 305/30 R 20 on the rear axle. The record-breaking drive was part of a collaboration between the tire manufacturer and the AutoBild sportscars editorial team on a test track in Papenburg, Lower Saxony, in which six tuning partners with seven refined vehicles took part.
