BMW has paired intelligent lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber, with optimized aerodynamics to design the new sled. The result is a significantly lighter body shell with a low and centralized center of gravity.
BMW will continue to develop the sled over the coming months. The ultimate goal is to have the sled prepared for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games where Team USA will compete for their first two-man bobsled gold medal since 1936.
