Lamborghini Builds 50 Padel Racquets in Its Supercar Factory

The BL001 is manufactured at Sant'Agata Bolognese, not licensed — built on the same line as supercar components.

Automobili Lamborghini and French racquet specialist Babolat unveiled the BL001 padel racquet at the Lamborghini Arena event at Imola — a product manufactured inside Lamborghini's own factory.

The Imola padel court launch

Stephan Winkelmann and Babolat CEO Éric Babolat presented the prototype together on a padel court, while professional players demonstrated the racquet on the spot.

Collector's allocation, not a production run

The BL001 slots into a growing category of factory-authenticated lifestyle objects for Lamborghini owners who already spec cars through Ad Personam and collect limited editions.

BL002 and BL003 follow from Barcelona

Two additional collections, the BL002 at €799.90 and the BL003 at €699.90, will follow in upcoming years, produced at Babolat's Padel Studio near Barcelona rather than at Sant'Agata Bolognese.

Exactly 50 units, hand-crafted at Sant'Agata

The collaboration will yield exactly 50 hand-crafted BL001 units, produced in the same specialist carbon fiber workshop that builds structural components for Lamborghini's road cars.

Supercar-grade carbon fiber construction

Lamborghini says the BL001 employs the same tools, processes, and high-strength composite fibers found on its supercar production line, including a peripheral monocoque frame inspired by supercar chassis architecture.

Factory floor time for a non-automotive product

Lamborghini committed actual factory floor time and carbon fiber production capacity to the BL001 — a resource allocation decision that tests how far Sant'Agata's composite expertise can travel beyond the supercar.
