While we wait for the arrival of the much anticipated Polaris RZR on Aussie shores, we thought we'd take a deep dive into the all-new 2.0-litre engine.

The Polaris RZR Pro R will probably start a horsepower revolution. For years we have seen most manufacturers stretch the traditional 1000cc engines as far as they can by way of things like turbos. But Polaris ignored the cheap option and decided to build an all new monster.

The naturally aspirated ProStar Fury 2.0L, 16-valve four-cylinder engine is the first of its kind and the most powerful engine ever put in a stock side-by-side. It pumps out a whopping 225 horsepower and, coupled with a larger clutch and belt, delivers power to the ground with instant response for fast acceleration but we’ll test this theory in January when one lands in Australia.

It has three user selectable throttle control modes—Sport, Rock, Race—adjust throttle sensitivity to ensure the power is there when and how it’s needed. What’s more, the ProStar Fury engine has a purpose built broad power output throughout the entire rev range so it shouldn’t be peaky or over-toquey.

Polaris realised accessories are power hungry too. So, Polaris threw a 1,700 watt, belt-driven alternator, auxiliary battery and 6-positon bus bar for plug and play convenience. Nice!

AT A GLANCE

  • 225 Horsepower – The naturally-aspirated, 2.0L, four-cylinder, 16-valve, liquid-cooled and fuel-injected ProStar Fury is the biggest engine ever put in a stock side-by-side, and it’s cooler running, while supposedly being balanced and reliable.
  • Instant Power Delivery – A larger clutch and belt are designed to take the power from the revolutionary ProStar Fury 2.0L engine and smoothly deliver it to the ground, giving you instant acceleration off the line.
  • Selectable Throttle Control – Select from one of three throttle control modes (Sport, Rock, Race) to adjust throttle sensitivity, ensuring you have the right power, just when you need it.
