Nissan has developed yet another seven-seat vehicle, but not the kind you might expect from an automobile manufacturer. This new vehicle is a bobsleigh, and it just recently took its inaugural run at the Olympic track at Innsbruck, Austria. It is capable of reaching up to 100 km/h even with the weight of seven fully-grown men.
“We wanted to give the opportunity to experience first-hand the adventurous nature of our crossover segment through the thrill and excitement of Olympic bobsleighing,” said Darryl Scriven, Design Manager Nissan Design Europe.
When you look at the two side-by-side you can see that the 2016 Nissan Rogue was clearly the inspiration for the X-Trail bobsleigh, which has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 19th century Switzerland. Check out more about this innovative sled by watching the video above! And while we won’t be selling this historic bobsleigh, you can visit us at Younger Nissan of Frederick at 7418 Grove Road in Frederick, MD 21704 and test drive the vehicle behind the inspiration, the 2016 Nissan Rogue!
