In super tacky dirt. In 4wd. Foot crushing the brake pedal and gas at the same time… hello..,

It’s ignorant to compare this video to a motor and trans that nobody owns.
Thus RzR had a failure and Polaris has been building forever. Speed will nail it on the first try? Laughable
Polaris is notorious for clutch problems, on every single high performance car they come out with.

And all of you f'd it up for us jeepers.
You should see the whoops and ruts just outside of Primm! They can swallow a VW bug and it would never be seen again!

trophy trucks and 40’s do some real damage!

I heard a rumor that Speed may have lost their Hisun manufacturing deal.

History tends to repeats itself regardless of its purpose 😂

I did not ask that specific question, I’m in no rush for delivery. But they did say that they are looking at possibilities of an additional plant in Arizona.
The “additional plant” kinda makes it sound like they might not have the hisun thing truly locked down. I’m sure they had a few choice words over the pre production welds (not a big deal it’s pre production) but makes me wonder. As a manufacturer I wouldn’t be taking random calls and saying yeah your pre order is still coming and BTW we’re looking for a new plant because our old deal fell through.

Limited edition lol. 400 nationwide. Must’ve not been selling too well, had to drop number down so they could say it’s sold out to boost sales.

There is only rumors of the Hisun issue, but it wouldn't be a complete shock that a business relationship involving RG fell apart.

So it’s bad for a manufacturer to answer the phone and answer questions now?🤔
This is what was said to me.

“Final assembly is still in Texas and we are discussing adding an additional plant in Arizona”

Didn’t say any of it was bad didn’t say they shouldn’t answer questions. What I implied was why would they give you a buyer shitty news that the product you are waiting on just got a even bigger delay? We’re all just guessing at this point. I hoping it all works out the thing looks badass! I bought a RZR because it’s out now if the speed thing works out I’m probably buying one after the 1st couple years.

Or that means Hisun is building an additional plant. Or it means nothing.

Speed is not starting their own mass production facility.

They are doing this different as a manufacturer. How many pre production RZR XP Pro Rs were you allowed to sit in, look at, and criticize? Did you call Polaris to get an update on the release date?

My fully accessorized speed car is still cheaper than that new RZR.. and I don’t think that RZR will hang with it or be as durable.

As a buyer that was not shitty news to me. Like I previously stated I’m in no rush. Does everyone forget the pro r has been under development for 4 years or more? And if Robby pulls off the speed utv in the same time frame or less as a brand new manufacturer! I’ll be a happy buyer. If he fails well it was like gambling on the chargers! No loss 😂

I am not a speed junkie and don’t do the “in Robby we trust” deal.. but I truly believe he’s got a better product all the way around than that new RZR..

That RZR you could crash it and all it would do is improve the looks.. 😳. Thing has a grill that only the designer could love.. and even he’s wondering.


The speed looks like an old Escalade but it’s better than that. As far as all the engineering there is no comparison.

Someone said the electronics are better on the RZR.. having seen the speed in person I disagree. Unless the RZR has a glove box display, both of which are capable of gps, and a hundred other things..

I’ll stick with my current RZR until the speed comes out and never look back.

I’d take my old canned ham over the new RZR.

The launch edition pro R Premium 4 seat RZR is $46k. Non launch edition is $42k.

Speed RG Edition 4 seater is also $42k.

Polaris comes with a stereo, Speed comes with a radio and intercom.
Speed also comes with multi fuel engine, roof, custom wrap, powder coated suspension and window nets😁

Incorrect. They are sitting in the Hastings building :)

Mine does not exist... but Speed cars exist. Same as everyone that has a Polaris Pro on order.

Not entirely correct......They packed up at least 3 of the 4 (not sure about the black and gold one) and took them back to NC last week for teardown.
But you are correct.....They do exist! 👍 I seen Robby (Mr. Gordon if your nasty) himself driving PP3 2 weeks ago right at the corner of Palo Verde & 95 in front of the Hastings building. "I seeened dit' wif my own 👀s"

And for the record, after I seen what Polaris is offering for the same amount or more money....I'll patiently wait 2 more years for a speed! RD said it best a few posts back, "The Pro R would look better after its been crashed" or something like that! Thing is FUGLY!🤮

I think you are correct, all the pre pro stuff is back in NC now. They said their goal is to resolve all the loose ends and start production around the end of the year... we’ll see.
