Lamborghini has just unveiled its new toy... and it's not a car!

When it comes to Lamborghiniwe instinctively think of V10s, carbon and out-of-the-ordinary performance. However, the Sant'Agata Bolognese manufacturer has once again surprised the world. Its latest "toy" can't be driven, doesn't make a sound... and can be played with both hands on a padel court.

A supercar... snowshoe version

At the beginning of February 2026, Lamborghini and Babolat unveiled the BL003, the third chapter in an atypical but increasingly coherent collaboration. Following on from the success of the BL001 and BL002, this new paddle embodies a very clear vision: to transpose the DNA of the Italian supercar into an ultra-exclusive sports object. Behind this project lies the same obsession as in the automobile: precision, performance and cutting-edge technology. The BL003 is not simply a derivative. It is conceived as a true competition machine, developed jointly by Babolat engineers and Lamborghini carbon specialists.

Carbon and Italian engineering

It's impossible to talk about Lamborghini without mentioning carbon. The BL003 is literally infused with it. Its 3K carbon surface and KORIDION foam-reinforced frame (a technology directly derived from processes used on the brand's cars) are a clear reminder of the link with the brand's supercars. The objective is the same as on a Temerario or a Revuelto The result: a lightweight, extremely maneuverable snowshoe that delivers clean, controlled power. The result is a lightweight, extremely maneuverable snowshoe that delivers clean, controlled power, like a perfectly measured Lamborghini acceleration.

Almost handcrafted

Another obvious parallel with luxury automobiles is the way in which the BL003 is produced. The racket is hand-assembled at the Babolat Padel Studio in Spain, where the brand's most exclusive models are designed. Each one benefits from a thermoplastic ABS/TPU coating designed to improve impact comfort and durability, without compromising pure performance. As with a supercar, this is not a mass-production model. The BL003 will be offered in limited quantities from February 5, 2026, for around €600, a detail that further reinforces its status as an object of desire... and probably a collector's item.

A long-standing collaboration

The announcement may come as a surprise, but it's by no means impromptu. The partnership between Lamborghini and Babolat dates back to 2024, with the BL001, a racket produced directly at Lamborghini's facilities and limited to just 50 units. At the time, the project was presented at the Lamborghini Arena on the Imola circuit, in the presence of the two brands' top executives. The BL002, launched in 2025, had already marked an evolution towards a more accomplished product, inspired by the aerodynamic lines of Italian supercars. The BL003 is therefore a logical continuation of a collaboration that is gaining in maturity, coherence and ambition.

Once again, Lamborghini demonstrates that it can extend its universe far beyond the automobile without diluting its image. Quite the contrary, in fact. By applying its technological standards and engineering know-how to a booming sport like padel, the Italian brand reinforces its aura as a manufacturer of exceptional objects.
