Arctic Cat Wildcat Declared Winner!













Dirt Trax Magazine set the stage for the long-awaited grudge match between the Arctic Cat Wildcat 1000 and the Polaris RzR XP 900. The Dirt Trax crew challenged themselves to dig deep as they developed their opinions and impressions to answer the raging question: Who has the best Pure-Sport ROV?
After pitting the two against each other and evaluating all aspects of the machines, the conclusion was no surprise; the Arctic Cat Wildcat 1000 was given the nod in this comparison. The most opinionated editors in the business said the Wildcat brings an extra measure of performance to critical areas buyers will immediately appreciate.
Key talking points from the article-
  • The Wildcat nailed the high performance Pure Sport Side x Side equation out of the gate
  • Electronic Power Steering (EPS) makes the Wildcat exceptionally easy to drive
  • Handling of the Walker Evans shocks with remote reservoirs and staggering 18-inches of suspension travel will make you a better driver
  • Plush interior is luxurious with stitched bucket seats and plenty of leg room
  • The sensation of covering rough terrain at speed is so profound it is shocking

First Wildcat race win for Thorney Motorsport

At the recent side by side offroad race meeting held at Haresfield race track Thorney Offroad, racing their Arctic Cat Wildcat SxS secured a convincing victory. It was a great UK race debut for the Wildcats, every other competitor lapped and the race win by a good distance!
This first UK Wildcat race was arranged by the ACU and Quad Events UK, the organisers of the British Quad X- Country Championship. Billed as a demonstration race the course was a one hour enduro event over a 7 miles course as used by the quads so it was rough, muddy and brilliant fun.

Thorney Motorsport are currently preparing our 400bhp, 2 litre Astra VXR powered Corsa race car and used the same race preparation skills to set up and race the Wildcat.
A full race schedule of events across the UK for Wildcat owners to compete in is currently being finalised by Thorney Offroad - their website provides up to date information.
