Babolat releases racket with Lamborghini: ”Limited edition”

Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini have started a collaboration where they combine their knowledge to produce exclusive padel rackets. See pictures here. 

The first result of this partnership between Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini will be a totally new racket (BL001), available in five colors: giallo auge, verde viper, arancio livrea, viola pasifae, verde gea. Produced in Sant'Agata Bolognese, near Bologna (Italy), at the headquarters of Automobili Lamborghini.

”A very limited, prestigious collector's edition racquet, designed with the tools, processes and materials used in the production of the Italian manufacturers of super sport cars. While Babolat already uses carbon materials for the production of its padel racquets, the "BL001" will benefit from the unrivalled expertise of Automobili Lamborghini, experts in the art of mastering the use of carbon fiber in automotive production”, writes Babolat in a press release. 

”The technical conception and design of the BL001 are the fruit of close collaboration between the technical teams at Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini over a period of almost 6 months. The result of an ultra-precise, 100% hand-crafted process, development was followed by the Automobili Lamborghini teams in their Sant'Agata Bolognese factory, in collaboration with Babolat's research and product development teams. Tests were then carried out on court and in the laboratory by Babolat experts, as is the case for every new racquet”. 

This limited edition of around 50 racquets will be proposed for pre-orders.

The company also states that they will release two more rackets next year: ”By 2025, Babolat will be producing two other racquets from its Padel Studio near Barcelona, Spain, as a result of this partnership with Automobili Lamborghini”.
