Babolat releases new racket in collaboration with Lamborghini
Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini have entered into a collaboration, pooling their expertise to produce exclusive padel rackets. Check out the photos here.
The first outcome of this partnership between Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini is an entirely 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 highly limited, prestigious collector's edition racket, designed using the tools, processes, and materials used in the production of Italian super sports car manufacturers. While Babolat already uses carbon materials for the production of its padel rackets, the 'BL001' will benefit from the unparalleled 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 result of a close collaboration between the technical teams of Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini over nearly 6 months. The result of an extremely precise, 100% handmade process, development was followed by the teams at Automobili Lamborghini in their factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, in collaboration with Babolat's research and product development teams. Tests were then conducted on the court and in the laboratory by Babolat experts, as is the case with each new racket."
This limited edition of about 50 rackets will be offered for pre-orders.
The company also states that they will release two more rackets next year: "By 2025, Babolat will produce two other rackets from its Padel Studio near Barcelona, Spain, as a result of this collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini."
