In recent years, successful brand collaborations have seen companies from wildly different industries produce stunning limited-edition products. The latest addition to this trend is the Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini Padel Racquet, through which the brands have combined their respective technological and industrial expertise.
Announced at the Lamborghini Arena event held at Imola Circuit, the Babolat, expert in racquet sports, and Automobili Lamborghini Padel Racquet is one of only a handful of instances where the supercar manufacturer has collaborated with a sporting brand. The result is a padel racquet designed in a process that reflects Lamborghini’s approach to innovation, including the high-end materials that define their cars.
This padel racquet delivers optimal control and power, beginning with a rigid, monocoque frame that extends into the handle. The use of high-strength composite fibers continues the theme of blending sports car technology and construction for outstanding comfort and motion.
The first release, available in 50 units, marking this intriguing collaboration, is the BL001, designed and built over six months and tested in the lab and on the court. An additional two racquets are in the pipeline, with plans to apply the design and build quality to future commercial models.
