MADRID, 11 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
‘Lexus’ continues with its commitment to the world of tennis with the launch of its “revolutionary” Machine Lanzapelotas ‘Signature Shot’, in order to transfer the emotion of professional tennis to any clue.
As indicated by the car brand, “the precision with which this team has been designed, which simulates the famous winning blows of the main professional tennis players in the world ranking, offers players the opportunity to face blows that have made history.” “With this proposal, ‘Lexus’ unites technology, fun and competitive spirit in a tribute to the highest level tennis,” he adds.
The British wheelchair tennis star and Lexus ambassador, Alfie Hewett (officer of the British empire order), has been in charge of presenting the machine, which appears in a new video in which he faces his own and impressive serve of 150 km/h with which he won the Wimbledon tournament in 2024.
Tennis fans will have the opportunity to experience the power and precision of Hewett’s blow, as well as the renowned Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa, ambassador of ‘Lexus’, whose “characteristic blows” have been scheduled in the machine that will be on touring for tennis tournaments and local clubs during the 2026 season.
The presentation of ‘Signature Shot’ comes after the record experience of ‘Lexus’ in which British tennis players Jamie Murray and Laura Robson made the exchange of blows longer above two ‘lexus nx’ that moved at a speed of 46 km/h.
The Machine Lanzapelotas ‘Signature Shot’ of ‘Lexus’ has been developed from a professional use drill and has meticulously programmed with a custom ‘software’ to simulate the game styles of the ambassadors of ‘Lexus’, both their serves and their track bottom blows.
It is based on an extensive performance database, video analysis and complete online statistics, rigorously validated by professional tennis players to emulate the angles, trajectories and the effect of the most famous blows of each tennis player.
This launzapelotas machine carries the ‘lexus’ DNA to the track, since it presents the stylistic features of the brand and is inspired by the elegant and aerodynamic exterior of the electric prototype ‘LF-ZC’. In addition, its specific software and its extensive data analysis are a perfect demonstration of ‘lexus’ commitment to precision engineering and its evolution towards vehicles defined by the ‘software’, those in which computer solutions are used to improve the control of the main functions.
This novel team is presented while ‘Lexus’ enjoys another year of intense competition as a platinum partner and official ATP Tour automotive collaborator, which sponsors 12 tournaments throughout Europe during this 2025 season, including the 1000 Masters of Paris-Bercy and the ATP finals that close the year.
“Together, these initiatives demonstrate ‘Lexus’ commitment to explore performance limits and promote the development of public, knowledge and implication in tennis, in addition to promoting participation in base sport,” said the brand.
