Santa's sleigh comes with inbuilt GPS and a Spotify Christmas playlist

If you see this mean machine flying across the sky this Christmas Eve, don't panic -- it might just be that Santa has updated his sleigh. This very modern interpretation of the most famous mode of transport in the world is called "The Gadget Sleigh (GS-900)" and it comes courtesy of UK-based brand Metals4U. Featuring in-built GPS navigation, parking sensors, and even a "pin-point chimney cam", this is a sleigh for the Santa of the 21st century. Heated seats make the cold, overnight trip more comfortable and the eco-friendly rocket boosters mean that all that present giving won't harm the environment. Additional technical features include a convertible roof and a nose-wiper for no. 1 reindeer Rudolph, while an integrated sound system with a Christmas Spotify playlist keeps things festive. The sleigh's metal frame has been designed to resist the harsh effects of cold weather and the windscreen is built from Lexan Polycarbonate. With a price tag of £199,995 (US$312,320) the sleigh doesn't come cheap, but it does have a 10-year guarantee, and let's be honest, it's the perfect excuse to get yourself a troop of reindeer.
