If this was true I would wait to see it. But while written like what a manufacturer would write I have my doubts it is not a farce. If they were really producing such a machine there would already be leaked info on it from a secret source.

I really like my rhino. That thing will haul as much as a pickup and plow snow like a mo-fo. My lawn mower has more power. But the rhino is super handy and ready go with a twist of the key.

got a ride today from a buddy who installed the after mark it turbo kit from evolution motor sports on his can am xds, they claim 150rwhp with this upgrade kit at 14lbs pump fuel, over the stock 90rwhp the xds has now... omg does that thing rip, breaks tires loose on dry pavement with ease, and i think will be very popular for can am
have to find 4 grand real soon.. don't think Yamaha will catch that for a bit

Just when it overheats......
I dont know Fred, didnt you read the part about the NA 164hp and Trophy truck suspension? Haha
Seriously though the Apex or Nitro motor would be a great choice for a SxS motor, It would Murder the current 1000's power wise.
Probably wont happen, but we can hope.

Liability......... they faced huge lawsuits when the rhino first came out and was flipping over and breaking peoples ankles and wrists etc....... can you imagine someone just jumping into a sxs with an apex motor and punching it? yes its the operators own fault, but in today's world you know it would end up back on the manufacturers shoulders.

Decline of America: New Stella Awards
It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico, where she purchased coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee cup and put it between her knees while she was driving and won a big award in a lawsuit against McD's because she got burned doing that.
These awards are for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head.
Here are the Stellas for this year:
* SEVENTH PLACE *
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
Start scratching!
* SIXTH PLACE *
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
Scratch some more...
* FIFTH PLACE *
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish
* FOURTH PLACE *
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
* THIRD PLACE *
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
*SECOND PLACE*
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby Newark because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
Ok. Here we go!!
* FIRST PLACE *
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down?$1,750,000
PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.

How to Make Doughnuts
1. Gather the Ingredients
You'll need:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- vegetable oil or shortening for deep-frying
- desired coating or icing
2. Make the Batter
- In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes or until thick. In a small bowl combine milk and melted butter.
- Add the flour mixture and milk mixture alternately to the egg mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Cover and chill the dough for 2 to 4 hours.
About a half-hour before the end of the chilling time, get the coating, glaze, or icing ready for the doughnuts. Coatings and toppings should be prepared before you start to fry the doughnuts, as they should be applied while the fried doughnuts are still slightly warm. Doughnuts can simply be coated with powdered sugar or granulated sugar. Place the sugar in a shallow dish, such as a pie plate. Or you can ice the tops of the doughnuts with one of the following:
- Chocolate Glaze: In a small saucepan melt 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter over low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in 3 cups powdered sugar and 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir in 4 to 5 tablespoons warm water until the glaze coats the back of the spoon.
- Powdered Sugar Icing: In a small bowl combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk or orange juice, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in additional milk or juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the icing reaches drizzling consistency.
- Chocolate Powdered Sugar Icing: Prepare Powdered Sugar Icing as directed, except add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder to the powdered sugar and use milk, not orange juice.
- Toppings: You can top iced donuts with chopped nuts, flaked coconut, or candy sprinkles. Have these ready to go as well.
4. Roll the Dough- On a well-floured surface, roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Do not stir additional flour into the dough; this can cause the finished product to be heavy and dry.
5. Cut the Dough- Use a floured 2-1/2-inch doughnut cutter to cut the dough into rings. Dip the cutter into flour between cuts to prevent the dough from sticking to the cutter. Each cut should produce one doughnut and one doughnut hole.
- Reroll dough scraps as necessary to make about 16 doughnuts and 16 doughnut holes.
6. Fry the Doughnuts- If using an electric deep-fat fryer, heat the oil to 365°F according to manufacturer's directions. Or, in a heavy, deep large saucepan, heat the oil to 365°F.
- Tip: The amount of oil you'll need depends on the fryer you use. Follow manufacturer's directions if using a deep-fryer. If you are using a heavy, deep large saucepan, you'll want to pour the oil to a depth of about 4 inches -- deep enough allow the doughnuts to float in the oil.
- Ease a doughnut into the heated oil with a long-handle slotted spoon, taking care not to let the oil spatter. Fry the doughnuts, two or three at a time, in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are golden brown, turning once.
- Remove the doughnuts with the slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain back into the fryer or pan.
- Drain the doughnuts on paper towels.
- Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
- Cool the doughnuts slightly.
7. Coat or Ice the DoughnutsAdd these optional finishing touches while the doughnuts are still slightly warm:
- To coat the doughnuts with powdered sugar or granulated sugar, simply roll them in the sugar until coated on all sides.
- To glaze, dip the tops of the doughnuts in the Chocolate Glaze, Powdered Sugar Icing, or Chocolate Powdered Sugar Icing (see Step 3, above). If desired, sprinkle iced doughnuts with chopped nuts, flaked coconut, or candy sprinkles. Allow the doughnuts to dry on a wire cooling rack.
Yeah me neither. I get the liability thing, but they already have it in a sled, and have 180hp street bikes ext.
Can't tell me that is any safer for a novice.
The old Rhinos came with lap belts, nothing to keep your body parts in the cab, poor excuse for a roll cage and were very tippy.
Build it a bit safer, 5point harnesses,doors,window nets, a roll cage that can take high speed roll overs ext.
Then the new 300hp, turbo Apex powered, Super Rhino Extreme, will be good to go

yes it would nilate the 1000s for sure, and motor weight would not be any more than the others, actually hope they do it.. I have a fully done nitro motor sitting in a sled not being driven for last two years..
Id tell you that you should put that engine in a SxS,, but if you are going to go that far, you may as well put a LS9 in a real chassis.

My understating is you can take it to 22 with proper fuel, but 91 is good for 16 or so
