Spoiler Alert: Just like Santa, this car/sleigh is conceptual…
Say hello to the Santa Sleigh R.S., a work of Paris-based designer Alexandre Ferra. The idea that Santa would still rely on reindeer to pull his sleigh along with all those gifts seems antiquated and a tad bit cruel, so Ferra decided that Santa’s ride needed a well-deserved upgrade. The Santa Sleigh R.S. (short for Renault Sport) comes with an incredibly long design, and obviously ditches the wheels for more snow-friendly runners. I’m not entirely sure its elongated design would have enough cabin space for all those gifts, but it surely is big enough for the man in red to sit comfortably. Cruising across the entire world would need incredible amounts of visibility, and while the Santa Sleigh R.S. doesn’t sport an open-top, it comes with a panoramic windshield that stretches all the way from the front, across the sides, and to the back.
Designed clearly for a modern age, the sleigh sports a beautiful metallic automotive finish, and what I presume is a jet-based propulsion system on the inside. Why else would the sleigh have two massive thrusters on the back? After all, Father Christmas has to cover the entire earth in a span of just 24 hours…
