THE SUPER BUDWEISER-POLARIS

Press Release - September 1983
It's faster than an Indy 600, able to set world speed records in a single burst. It's not a plane, not a bird - it's the new Budweiser Polaris Super Speed Sled.
That's right. The Budweiser Polaris that broke the world speed record two years ago, then broke its own record twice last season, is being replaced by an all-new super speed sled that has the potential, according to the builders, to log speeds of ten percent higher than any snowmobile has ever gone before.
The current world speed record, set by last year's Budweiser Polaris version is 154.5 MPH. The brand new Budweiser-Polaris theoretically will have the ability to top 170 MPH.
The new Budweiser-Polaris uses a Mercury Liquid Cooled V6 Outboard power plant with around 350 Horsepower from the 142 cubic inch Mercury motor.  Mercury's high efficiency electronic fuel gets much of the credit for the power output.
