Displacement is 950 cc, which makes it the current king of UTV engines. The engine gurus at Arctic Cat developed it for maximum torque with  two valves per cam lobe and forked rocker arms. Arctic Cat claims 188 ft. lb. at the crankshaft. and a rumored 70+ horsepower.

There is more good news. This engine is not new. Arctic Cat put it in their Thundercat 1000 ATV in 2007.

Please Note: Since the Prowler XTZ 1000 won’t hit dealers until December 2008, it will take a while to get products developed and out to market. The good news is the Prowler XTZ 1000 uses the same engine as the Thundercat 1000 so performance parts should hit the market quicker.
