The third-generation Babolat x Lamborghini BL003 puts patented supercar technology inside a carbon frame.
The BL003 appears to go further than a logo and a colorway, making this Babolat x Automobili Lamborghini collaboration worth examining.
KORIDION foam is described as derived from a patented technology found in Lamborghini vehicles, reinforcing the BL003's carbon frame alongside a 3K Carbon surface.
Lamborghini says the BL001 and BL002 quickly became collector's items, and the BL003's limited production suggests similar demand.
The BL001 was built inside Lamborghini's own manufacturing facilities, the BL002 was produced at Babolat's headquarters in 2025, and the BL003 is hand-crafted at the Babolat Padel Studio in Spain.
The BL003 became available on February 5, 2026, through babolat.com and selected retailers, and some listings already show sold out.
Lamborghini's claim that the BL003's frame is reinforced with a foam derived from patented vehicle technology, if accurate, represents a different category of brand extension entirely.
Lamborghini's willingness to push patented vehicle technology into adjacent product categories is a meaningful development worth watching beyond the racquet itself.
