Yo Pimp My Sleigh: Santa's ride gets a makeover




Vauxhall, Jaguar and Land Rover all offered their suggestions for an alternative to the traditional reindeer-drawn sleigh.


Land Rover's two-seater - the seat in front has ample room for Rudolph - boasts "all-terrain capability" and was designed "to deliver presents to all corners of the earth and to meet the ever-increasing delivery timetable".

It is powered by particle accelerator technology with optional laser-guided present delivery and CRS - Chimney Recognition Software.

Designed by Florian Dobe, it has height adjustable suspension to tackle difficult terrain.

Luxury manufacturer Jaguar plumped for a sleek design with a retro image of a scantily-clad woman painted on the sign next to the slogan: "Santa's Little Helper."

It was the brainchild of 25-year-old Jaguar exterior designer Thomas Smith, and a spokesman said it was "an intriguing look at a big cat on its way to the next chimney top".

Vauxhall came up with an eco-friendly, battery-powered machine fitted with "plug-in, hybrid technology".

A Vauxhall spokesman said: "In their old age, the reindeer are becoming more flatulent and their increasing methane emissions just can't be good for the environment - never mind the fact Santa has to sit behind them.

"Santa is pleased as punch with his new sleigh. He won't have to worry about re-charging as he does his chimney drops around the world on Christmas Eve.

"Not only is it guaranteed not to wake children, but it won't pollute their bedrooms either."
