Maybe I'm seeing things, but the nose looks different, air intakes look different, and the steering post looks further back, almost like it might go down behind the motor. But, hard to tell from that grainy photo.

That's what I thought. I'm not the guy originally posting it though... I just signed up to that site and re-hosted the image so that it would actually show up.

what this?
Thought
Think outside the box, this isn't about 2 skis, a motor and a track anymore! The new XPR will be so technically advanced it will leave others in shame, while they were working on running board technology our fellow Canadians are progressing how the snowmobile gets from point A to point B. Think about how a jet propels water in a watercraft, now apply SOME of that thought to the snow! This mountain specific SUMMIT is going to be the talk of the town..... No wait.... The mountain!
Nobody has got this yet!?!?!?!
Is it a fixed position or moveable position?
The jet propels the craft but also moves
OK, now I got it, they are going to remove the track and install an impeller. :face-icon-small-ton

That photo is clearer, I guess it is the old sled.
Interesting... here's my crappy enlarged version.
This looks totally different than the XP...except maybe the windshield.
It will have a lot in common but address the handling issues with some "outside the box" thinking.
Hmmm, could that actually work? Two long counter rotating impellers to replace the track?
...
I like the minimalist all gray color scheme, but may I suggest the impellers be snow white in color so they blend in with the snow, it would look like it was just floating when moving.

and bigger fins on the impeller for the deep snow maybe a flater angle for low end grunt

Hold on, are you hinting that the track will be on a pivot(track steering)? Now that would be revolutionary!!! Can you imagine how maneuverable it would be? It would probably bring some funky forces into effect though, not sure how it would work.

It's still lighter than a Yami! :face-icon-small-ton
Your high if you think thats a ski doo. Thats cats 2013 lightweight version of the 1100 turbo LE. :face-icon-small-hap
......and diesels get good mileage too. ......and last forever, which the snowmobile industry desperately needs. :redface:
