PRI 2015: Hypersports Builds An Amazing 600 + HP, Two-Cylinder Sled
They made a trip to Dynotech Research following the conclusion of one of their race events for testing the engine in its current configuration and twisted the dyno to 604 horsepower at 9,400 rpm with 50.5 psi of boost pressure. They’ve successfully run more boost than this, but haven’t been back to the dyno to quantify the results.
“If we sit and break down the times that these Outlaw snowmobiles run with north of 600 horsepower at 440 to 460 pounds without rider, we’re talking about a power to weight ratio that’s pretty incredible,” says Campton.
These sleds are raced on a 500-foot track that’s capable of holding the sled as it launches to sub-1.10-second 60-foot times on its way to 3.80s at 141 miles per hour. Or, on an eighth-mile track on the ice, the sled runs 4.40s at over 150 mph, equivalent to the top runners in the X275 drag racing class. Simply incredible.
