Behind the scenes world's first 7-seater bobsleigh with Nissan X-Trail
Starting in 2009, Nissan worked with bobsleigh experts to transform a traditional four-man sled into a seven-seater sled inspired by the X-Trail SUV. Darryl Scriven, Design Excellence Manager for the Special Vehicles/Parts & Accessories Design Group, teamed up with expert bobsled manufacturer from Italy, Diego Menardi, and sport expert Ian Richardson to morph car design with Olympic aerodynamics. In 2015, the revolutionary seven-seater bobsleigh was tested in Igls, Austria, by British olympic bobsledders, and was proved to be a huge success.
