兰博基尼利用碳纤维专业知识生产运动装备
圣阿加塔博洛涅塞/伊莫拉，2024 年 4 月 9 日– 兰博基尼汽车公司和 Babolat 宣布合作，将他们的技术和工业专业知识结合起来，生产独特的板球拍。首款 BL001 车型的原型机将在兰博基尼工厂内进行限量生产，仅生产 50 辆，于上周六在伊莫拉赛道的兰博基尼竞技场上进行了展示，Automobili 董事长兼首席执行官 Stephan Winkelmann 也在场。兰博基尼和 Babolat 首席执行官埃里克·巴博拉特 (Éric Babolat)。与 Babolat 的合作标志着兰博基尼汽车公司在其核心汽车生产之外制造运动器材的少数场合之一。
另外两个球拍系列 BL002 和 BL003 将在未来几年开发并发行。该项目的核心是融合 Babolat 对球拍技术和比赛的掌握，以及兰博基尼汽车在碳纤维制造工艺和设计方面的专业知识。
全新中性BL001球拍将有五种兰博基尼颜色可供选择：Giallo Auge、Verde Viper、Arancio Livrea、Viola Pasifae、Verde Gea，由兰博基尼汽车公司圣亚加塔博洛涅工厂的专业碳纤维零件生产设施制造。这款非常限量的收藏版球拍采用了意大利制造商超级跑车生产中使用的工具、工艺和材料进行设计：虽然 Babolat 已经在其板球拍的生产中使用碳材料，但 BL001 将受益于兰博基尼汽车公司的碳材料汽车生产领域无与伦比的碳纤维专业知识。
受超级跑车底盘设计的启发，此次合作推出了一款具有极其坚固的外围硬壳式框架的球拍，可优化击球区域的变形。延伸至手柄内的硬壳式结构使手能够直接接触底盘。这确保了对球拍的绝对舒适的完美控制，同时提供卓越的力量和球速。
这款革命性球拍所用的材料采用用于制造刚性底盘的高强度复合纤维，直接源自有助于兰博基尼超级跑车实现最高性能的技术。 BL001 的技术构思和设计是 Babolat 和兰博基尼汽车研发团队近六个月密切合作的成果。 BL001 采用超精密、100% 手工制作工艺生产，然后由 Babolat 专家在球场和实验室进行测试，就像每一款新球拍一样。
这款大胆、出人意料且独特的限量版 50 支球拍将是市场上第一款 Babolat 和兰博基尼汽车板球拍。
通过 BL001 的首次合作开发的技术和碳纤维专业知识将应用于商业模型。在接下来的几年中，Babolat 将在西班牙巴塞罗那附近的 Padel 工作室生产另外两款球拍：BL002 和 BL003。
Automobili Lamborghini and Babolat collaborate in padel racquet project
Lamborghini using carbon fiber expertise to produce sports equipment
Sant’Agata Bolognese/Imola, 9 April 2024 – Automobili Lamborghini and Babolat announce a collaboration combining their technological and industrial expertise to produce exclusive padel racquets. The prototype of the first BL001 model, to be made in a very limited series of just 50 units within Lamborghini’s factory facilities, was presented last Saturday during the Lamborghini Arena at the Imola Circuit, in the presence of Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, and Éric Babolat, CEO of Babolat. The Babolat collaboration marks one of the few occasions Automobili Lamborghini will manufacture sports equipment, outside of its core automotive production.
Two further racquet collections, BL002 and BL003, will be developed for distribution in upcoming years. At the heart of the project is the fusion of Babolat’s mastery of racquet technology and the game, and Automobili Lamborghini’s expertise in carbon fiber manufacturing processes and design.
The all-new unisex BL001 racquet will be available in five Lamborghini colors, Giallo Auge, Verde Viper, Arancio Livrea, Viola Pasifae, Verde Gea, manufactured in Automobili Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese factory in its specialist carbon fiber parts production facility. The very limited collectors’-edition racquet is designed with the tools, processes and materials used in the production of the Italian manufacturer’s super sports cars: while Babolat already uses carbon materials in the production of its padel racquets, the BL001 will benefit from Automobili Lamborghini’s unrivalled carbon fiber expertise in automotive production.
Inspired by the design of super sports car chassis, this collaboration delivers a racquet with an extremely rigid peripheral monocoque frame that optimizes the deformation of the striking zone. The monocoque structure, which extends into the handle, allows the hand to be in direct contact with the chassis. This ensures perfect control of the racquet in absolute comfort, while delivering exceptional power and ball speed.
From the high-strength composite fibers used to manufacture the rigid chassis, the materials used in this revolutionary racquet are directly derived from technologies contributing to the highest performance in Lamborghini super sports cars. The technical conception and design of the BL001 are the result of a close collaboration between research and development teams within both Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini over a period of almost six months. The BL001 is produced by an ultra-precise, 100% hand-crafted process, with tests then carried out on court and in the laboratory by Babolat experts, as is the case for every new racquet.
This bold, unexpected and unique limited edition of 50 racquets will be the first Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini padel racquet to be available in the market.
The technologies and carbon fiber know-how developed through this first collaboration on the BL001 will then be applied to commercial models. In upcoming years, Babolat will be producing two further racquets, the BL002 and BL003, from its Padel Studio near Barcelona, Spain.
