Polaris has introduced the RZR Pro R Factory Boost, a purpose-built side-by-side race machine designed for open-desert competition and offered to customer racers in limited quantities.

The vehicle uses a race-tuned, turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing up to 400 hp, depending on its selected drive mode. Polaris says the model joins rather than replaces the existing second-generation RZR Pro R Factory in its competition range.

The Factory Boost uses a reinforced chassis with a 111-inch wheelbase, 6.5 inches longer than the existing Factory model, and a cockpit widened by two inches. Carbon-fibre bodywork, revised airflow, a 45-US-gallon fuel cell, integrated MoTeC control electronics and race-specific active suspension form part of the standard competition specification.

Polaris says computational fluid dynamics informed the cage and rear-body design at speeds above 100 mph. The company also claims a range exceeding 200 miles from the larger fuel cell. Those performance statements come from the manufacturer and have not been independently validated by MRI.

The model starts at US$200,000 and is available to order in limited quantities through SCI Distribution. The first order window closes on 15 February 2027. SCI is responsible for sales and post-sale customer support, while Polaris will produce the vehicles in Roseau, Minnesota.

RZR Factory Racing plans to give the machine its competition debut at the 2027 King of the Hammers. The official announcement does not disclose the production volume, homologation schedule for every target series, customer delivery date, warranty terms or the cost of spare-parts and support packages.

MRI compared the official release and product URLs, product name, Polaris, RZR Factory Racing, SCI Distribution and the 30 October event date against existing news. No MRI article covers this vehicle. Although the announcement was more than seven days old when reviewed, it was retained as a materially important missing technical and commercial product launch: it introduces a purchasable race platform, published pricing, a distribution arrangement and a confirmed competition debut.

The article is linked to the exact Polaris MRI profile, which uses the manufacturer’s official website. That profile has no approved logo, so none was invented or substituted. No first-party feature image was reused because publication permission was not established.
