THE NEW 1985 ARCTIC CAT COUGAR

The AFS Cat is the first major design Introduction from "The New Arcric Cat"...and it was a surefooted knockout.
  Among key designs for the Cougar was the front- mounted engine.  They moved the motor off the tunnel, shifting the weight down and forward to create snowmobiling's first major handling improvement. With this improvement, it was natural to expect to see an Arctic Cat in the center ring of snowmobiles.
   Amoung the standard features, it has a 500cc fan cooled twin engine, 5700 RPM ahift, oil minjection and mechanical disc brakes.
