Vauxhall, la división británica de General Motors, diseñó un trineo especial para que Papá Noel lo estrene en esta Navidad. Todos los datos técnicos, a continuación.
“El trineo de renos modelo 2008 se tomó un descanso en esta Navidad”, dijo Santa Claus, en el comunicado de prensa más bizarro del año, que se reproduce completo más abajo. “En su edad avanzada, los renos se volvieron más flatulento y sus emisiones de gas metano en constante aumento ya no pueden ser buenas para el medio ambiente. Sin mencionar el hecho de que yo voy sentado detrás”, declaró el barbado.
“Estos muy satisfecho con mi nuevo slEigh-REV provisto por esa gente tan amable de la fábrica de Luton. Me dijeron que utiliza una tecnología especial E-REV de su próximo modelo Ampera, lo que significa que no me tengo que preocupar por recargar baterías mientras realizo mis entregas alrededor del mundo durante la Nochebuena”, concluyó.
Y desde Argentina Auto Blog agregamos: feliz Navidad.
Luton/North Pole – Vauxhall has come to Santa’s help after receiving a plea from the great man himself earlier this year to provide swift and ultra-clean transport for his annual blast around the world on December 24.
“The ’08 Model Year reindeers have taken a rest this Christmas,” said Father C. “In their old age they’re becoming more flatulent and their increasing methane emissions just can’t be good for the environment – never mind the fact I have to sit behind them.
“I’m as pleased as punch with my new slEigh-REV supplied to me by those kind people in Luton. They tell me it uses specially adapted E-REV technology from their upcoming Ampera motor car, which means I won’t have to worry about re-charging as I do my chimney drops around the world on Christmas Eve.”
The slEigh-REV’s thrust is provided by an electronic motor which constantly propels it, while any range anxiety that Santa may have will be dispelled by a small engine which cuts in to charge the vehicle’s batteries as their power depletes. Just like Vauxhall’s Ampera, which goes on sale in early 2012.
So, not only can parents be assured of complete silence as Santa’s slEigh-REV idles above their roof tops this Christmas, but also that Vauxhall has one of the most gruelling development programmes in the business.
