While trolling the patent office's database a few months ago, we came across a rather interesting-looking patent by our good friends at Polaris. It was, at the time, wild to see, as the patent drawings showed a race-ready UTV. But the machine in question was just slightly different compared to the RZRs we'd witnessed first-hand in Baja. So what was this?
Could it be next year's race model? Or could it be something we've been clamoring for Polaris to build since it started racing off-road? Could it be a race-spec RZR that you and I could, theoretically, drop a heaping load of cash onto our local dealership to buy and race ourselves? Could this be how we finally live out our off-road racing fantasies? To go boldly where many have gone before.
Well, fine sirs and madams, the answer is here and it fulfills the latter dream to such a degree that I can't hardly believe my eyes.
