What do you get when you combine the industry's most talked about turbocharged four-stroke (complete with 110 ponies) along with aggressive ZR-like features? You get a sled that looks and feels just as aggressive as it pulls - The 2005 T660 Turbo ST.
Standard on the Turbo ST are the famous ZR handlebars -touted as the 'Best Bars in the Industry' by snowmobile editors across North America. They come complete with adjustable riser block and aggressive hooks,
Other changes defining the ST package include a ZR style sports seat with side-pad bolsters. You'll also find aggressively edged running boards with fishbone tunnel brackets. Replacing the T660's standard Ryde FX front shocks are performance minded ACT gas (IFP) shocks for a ride that's sure to match the STs high performance looks.
You'll be able to pick the new T660 Turbo ST out of a crowd as it's decked out in hot-red paint wearing white cobra stripes that give the hybrid Turbo a unique automotive look and feel all its own whether sitting on the showroom floor or out burning up the trail. Completing the look is an aggressively styled, low-cut chromed windshield.
"Our 2004 Turbocharged 4-strokes were accepted extremely well by consumers," said Robert Bonev, Arctic Cat's Vice President of Marketing. "In fact, they like the power so well that the machine has attracted buyers we were not necessarily expecting. Given that, we've had a lot of requests for more performance features on this machine and the ST package will give them that in a big way."
The ST features the same engine package found in the 2004 T660 Turbo which has been making believers out of skeptics and striking nerves across the entire snowbelt ever since it landed on snow.
Onlookers witnessed first-hand what the Arctic Cat Turbo engine package is capable of at the recent American Snowmobiler Port-A-Tree Shoot-Out where a 2004 T660 Turbo ever-so-quietly annihilated all box-stock 600 and 700cc two-stroke ET's, with two exceptions - The F6 and F7 Firecats. As they say, you can't win 'em all. The Turbo-rrific numbers at-a-glance:
