Continental - New SportContact 6 Now Available

Continental's new #sportcontact6 is a super sports #tire for the high-performance segment that clearly improves on the handling, steering precision, and high-speed suitability of the previous model. To bring these improvements to the roads – with a performance boost of up to 14% in some cases – the technicians in Hanover have "reinvented" the chemical composition of the tread, the tread design, and the #tire structure. From now on, 41 dimensions will be available for rims with diameters of 19 to 23 inches.

With the new summer #tire, #continental is continuing its successful range of high-performance tires. The new super sports #tire is particularly suited to pure sports cars such as the Audi R8 or Porsche 911 as well as very sporty vehicles such as the BMW 5 Series or Mercedes AMG. The range also includes a suitable #tire for the electrically powered Tesla S. #continental expects this market segment to become increasingly popular with customers and is anticipating annual market growth of just under 10% for the various sizes of the new #sportcontact6. The new high-tech #tire has already received its first seal of quality: Honda has approved the #tire for the new Civic Type R before its official release and achieved a lap record on the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring. Further approvals from high-profile vehicle manufacturers are in the works.
