Gravitaslabs, a key player in the Web3 industry and partner of Animoca Brands, has joined forces with LightLink to bring Lamborghini’s new digital platform, Fast ForWorld, to life.
This partnership aims to redefine fan engagement and brand loyalty in the automotive sector. It leverages a gasless, Ethereum-based Layer-2 (L2) blockchain solution to foster a seamless user experience for Lamborghini enthusiasts.
Lamborghini’s Next-Level Platform Hits Web3
Gravitaslabs is popular for its work on immersive Web3 engagement solutions, bringing interactive digital platforms to major automotive, sports, and fashion brands. It will use LightLink’s L2 solution, designed for high transaction speeds and low costs, which provides a backbone for enterprise-level applications.
With this partnership, Gravitaslabs will create a unique space for Lamborghini fans to earn rewards and participate in quests. They can also interact with digital representations of Lamborghini vehicles in a gamified ecosystem.
Of note is that the partnership follows Gravitaslabs’ recent collaboration with The Motorverse in the launch of Fast ForWorld. The Motorverse is Animoca Brands’ largest motorsport Web3 community. Therefore, it signifies a milestone amidst a growing relationship between blockchain technology and the automotive sector.
“Partnering with Gravitaslabs through their work with Lamborghini’s Fast ForWorld platform opens exciting new possibilities for Web3 engagement. We’re redefining how brands like Lamborghini connect with audiences by merging our Layer 2 blockchain technology with their expertise,” LightLink CEO Roy Hui said.

As part of this collaboration, Lamborghini will introduce the Revuelto, an in-game NFT. Each Revuelto collectible will feature unique characteristics, serving as both a digital asset and a gateway to Lamborghini’s immersive ecosystem, Fast ForWorld. Users who acquire a digital Revuelto will receive a Fast ForWorld Genesis Capsule. This would unlock premium benefits such as race tickets, exclusive merchandise, and special engagement points.
Taken together, this partnership signals an industry shift towards more engaging and cost-effective blockchain solutions. Base, an L2 blockchain developed by Coinbase, will serve as the platform for minting these assets, further integrating Lamborghini’s digital assets into the broader Web3 ecosystem.
“Lamborghini and Animoca’s Web3 racing game Motorverse are tapping Coinbase’s Base blockchain to deploy interoperable Revuelto in-game assets,” an excerpt from a recent announcement read.
Base’s cost-efficiency, high securityand rapid transaction speeds make it a fitting choice for Lamborghini’s venture into the digital world. In his comments on the partnership, Motorverse General Manager Will Griffiths emphasized its potential impact on fan engagement.
“We know users are committed to this name and bringing their latest contribution into the digital landscape highlights what this space can do for both fans and brands. We expect this is the beginning of a much deeper relationship as the Motorverse evolves,” Griffith expressed.
Potential Broader Implications for Lamborghini
Meanwhile, this strategic move is not Lamborghini’s first foray into the NFT space. Two years ago, the luxury carmaker released a series of limited edition “World Tour” NFTs. This catered to the booming interest in digital assets among early Bitcoin investors. However, as the crypto market cooled, so did interest in such extravagant digital collectibles.
At the time, the shift in interest was ascribed to Bitcoin millionaires’ turning to real estateas part of a strategic approach to wealth management. For Lamborghini, therefore, these collaborations with Gravitaslabs and Animoca’s Motorverse represent an opportunity to revitalize that excitement by expanding the digital footprint of its iconic brand. The partnerships offer significant potential for increased brand loyalty and revenue streams through digital collectibles.
Nevertheless, the broader impact of luxury brands venturing into the NFT space remains to be seen. With many high-net-worth individuals shifting their focus from digital assets to more tangible investments like real estate, the long-term appeal of automotive NFTs remains uncertain.

However, by integrating gaming and interoperability, Lamborghini’s Fast ForWorld has the potential to appeal to car enthusiasts and gamers alike, broadening its audience base beyond the initial wave of cryptocurrency aficionados.
