What do you guys think of this sled????

[89sandman]

front drive on a sled, seems like this would get up on the snow a lot better. instead of having to push the front of the sled until the rear can get it up to plane, it would just pull itself right up. front wheel drive cars sure do get around in the snow!!! looks like twin turbos in the bottom of the track, sweet if theres 2 more on the other side...

Here’s hoping that this concept hits the production line one day. It’s called the Hyanide, and happens to be a bike, a snowmobile and a 4 X 4 hybrid. The secret behind its unique versatility resides in its revolutionary new tread.

The tank-like tread consists of 77 identical segments??�each made from hard plastic covered with tire rubber ??�held together by Kevlar rope. Each segment flexes independently, making the tread significantly more limber than if its components were rigid. Not only does this setup help with traction, but it would allow the tank- cum-motorcycle to corner like no other vehicle.
​

This theoretical vehicle would have a top speed of 85 mph, and could seat two. It would be powered by a 60hp 500cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine.
It only exists as a one-fifth scale model right now, and there are no hard plans to produce it, yet. Seems some automotive industry bigwigs got really turned on by this at the Michelin Challenge Design, so who knows?

I-K is a Snowmobile concept that was created in base of an extensive investigation on the possible future needs in snow environments as ski areas. This is a patrol unit that allows the user to have a full freedom and incredible power. With 2 positions of use, patrol and speed, this unit is able to change its configuration to give a better view to the user when is searching in slow speed and in the case that more speed is needed it configures in a aerodynamical position. This design was fully developed by GRUPOTORO Studio, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
