Bridgestone’s E8 Commitment reflects our shared dedication to performance and sustainability. We are proud to demonstrate how our advanced tyre technologies, such as the Potenza Sport ENLITEN, elevate Maserati’s ICE and electric models.

The company is also developing an EV-ready retail and service network by partnering with leading EV manufacturers.

An integral part of the collaboration is Bridgestone’s proprietary Virtual Tyre Development technologies, which were combined with Maserati’s driving simulator. This allowed the bespoke tyres to be created and tested in a digital environment, reducing physical prototyping, minimising raw material consumption, and cutting carbon emissions, all while enabling a faster time to market. The partnership between Bridgestone and Maserati is a powerful example of two iconic brands united by a shared commitment to engineering excellence. Bridgestone’s tyres are designed to enhance Maserati’s legendary performance, ensuring every curve of the circuit is navigated with meticulous precision and control.
