BMW Bobsled

 

The US bobsled team has not earned a gold medal since 1936, and to rectify that, the team has turned to ‘ze Germans– specifically to engineers at BMW. Since 2012, BMW has been working with the US bobsled team on a sled that will shave a few seconds off their time through aerodynamics.

What BMW brings to the table is the kind of wind testing R&D that helps the automaker design cars. A four-man bobsled is limited to only weighing 859.8 pounds, and on the mile-long course, it can reach speeds of 90 mph.
