Achieving extreme speeds and high-end performance requires the right tires. Record-breaking performances prove that Continental tires are the ideal choice for delivering top speed on the track.
For example, a customized Porsche GT9 from 9FF set a record using specially modified tires from our SportContact series. On the test track in Papenburg, this 987-horsepower car reached an incredible 409 km/h. Originally rated for lower speeds, these tires demonstrated under controlled test conditions that they can handle even higher loads without compromising safety or performance.
In 2021, a Lamborghini Huracán customized by our tuning partner Klasen Motors also reached an impressive speed of 384.12 km/h, this time with our SportContact 7.
Even outside the world of customization, fans of high speeds will find that Continental tires are a great choice. The newest member of the SportContact family, our SportContact 7, features an extra-stiff tread design for long-lasting and precise driving enjoyment.
This tire is suitable for various vehicle classes and shines not only with exceptional braking performance but also with stable handling, even on wet roads.
Renowned tuners such as AC Schnitzer frequently choose the SportContact 7 for their vehicles, demonstrating its versatility and superior performance.
