Polaris Unleashes a 400-HP Dune Buggy to Take on the Desert

Polaris has just unveiled the RZR Pro R Factory Boost, a high-performance dune buggy designed for desert and sand racing.

With a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine producing 400 horsepower, this side-by-side has more power than a U.S.-spec Audi RS3.

The RZR Pro R Factory Boost features lightweight carbon fiber bodywork, a 6.5-inch longer wheelbase, and a set of beefy BF Goodrich tires.

It also includes a new competition-ready cage, a cab that’s two inches wider, and a large 34-gallon fuel tank.

The vehicle will make its competitive debut at the 2027 King of the Hammers event and will be available for purchase, but with a hefty price tag of $200,000.
