You can’t trust reindeer these days. Must be that celebrity status.
With Christmas days away and Santa’s lazy hoofed helpers sunning themselves in Hawaii on a last-minute travel deal, it’s taken Lexus to come up with a solution for those vital Christmas deliveries.
Last year, Ford provided the jolly old fellow with an EcoBoost-powered sleigh.
Folks at the Blue Oval had worked out that those methane-emitting reindeer produce the equivalent of over 200,000 tonnes of CO2 on their Christmas Eve jaunt–ten times that of the EcoBoost sleigh.
Lexus hasn’t got quite as scientific with its Christmas transport, but the LFLC, or “Lexus Flying Luxury Cruiser” has a bit more badge kudos.
The hybrid sleigh has what Lexus describes as “800 reindeerpower”, and an EV mode helps keep St. Nick’s final approach a little quieter than usual.
A navigation system lets him pre-program all those addresses before he takes off–the old gent is losing his memory, these days–and while you think that glowing is supposed to be Rudolph’s nose, it’s actually an infra-red light with cameras, to help Santa fly through clouds and fog.
Still, Lexus, we can’t help but be a little disappointed–where are those all-important EPA figures? Even Santa Claus needs to know what he’ll save over his outgoing Ford sleigh.
As for those reindeer, it’s probably time they were fired. Work-shy ruminants…
