How do you properly test a performance tyre such as the recently introduced Continental Tyres MaxContact MC7? Well, with a Brabus of course. Using the legendary BRABUS 750 Bodo Buschmann Edition 1 of 25, the test showcases the tyres’ prowess in maximum control and steering precision in handling the 900Nm torque, with 275/35R21 tyres fitted in front and 315/30R21 tyres fitted at the rear. The test was conducted at Continental’s testing facility at Contidrom.
The BRABUS 750 Bodo Buschmann Edition 1 of 25 is a demonstration of how modern performance meets exquisite engineering, with impressive builds that enable the car to go from 0 to 100kph in 3.3 seconds, and reach a maximum speed of 315kph. The new Continental MaxContact MC7 matches this incredible performance and speed, allowing for the car’s 900Nm of lightning-fast torque to be unleashed while ensuring maximum traction and superior braking.
The unique Cornering Macro-blocks and ReFlex Compound design help the MaxContact MC7 achieve superb adaptability and firm grip to the road surface. By maximizing the contact area with the road to create a wider footprint, it successfully distributes the force to other parts of the tyre for more refined handling and exceptional stability when drivers making sharper turns even at a higher speed.
The new MaxContact MC7 also provides enhanced grip as well as shorter braking distance to ensure a stable and safe drive. The 3D Laser-cut Sipes improves grip and braking in wet and rainy conditions, reducing the risk of aquaplaning by quickly expelling water that flows through the tyre grooves. Its silica technology within the ReFlex compound enhances the transfer of kinetic energy to heat when braking, leading to shorter braking distances on both dry and wet roads.
Continental and BRABUS have enjoyed a close partnership for over a decade, with the expertise of both companies ensuring that the products of the global tuning company from Bottrop are not only reliable but also supremely agile. This collaboration further solidifies the Continental’s status as an exceptional and dynamic high-performance tire provider, promising an exhilarating driving experience on any road.
