8x8 AURORA 850SXR & 950SXR
Top of the Argocat Range !
Yes, this is the ONE! Its predecessor, the Avenger, we supplied to Jeremy Clarkson international motoring journalist and television presenter of the iconic TOP GEAR motoring programme.
The ARGOCAT AURORA is the most powerful and versatile of the UK model range ARGOCAT line up of amphibious all terrain vehicles. AURORA offers the ADMIRAL triple-diff gearbox, robust chassis and "easy-steer" control giving the operator smoother transition over all types of terrain. Designed for those who demand the best that will stand the test of time, the AURORA is an amphibious, eight wheel drive, multi passenger vehicle, standard fitted with ROPS and 4 safety belts and demountable rear bench seat, that combines comfort and ruggedness with innovative and unique features including lower engine emissions, reduced vibration and enhanced performance from either of the 33HP or 40HP fuel injected V twin Briggs & Stratton marine specification engine options. AURORA fitted with heavy duty 1 3/8" diameter axles with multi-spline sprocket fitment. Reversible bead-lock steel rims enable quicker and more convenient track system fitment and allow operation with lower tyre pressures offering more driver and passenger comfort and additional traction in extreme terrain conditions. .
The all wheel drive AURORA has a load capacity of up to 4 persons and can tow up to 816kg. Power comes via a four-stroke V twin unleaded petrol EFI engine. These engines combine strong smooth acceleration with low emmissions.
AURORA 850SX-R has a 33HP engine, and AURORA 950SX-R has a 40HP fuel injected engine, each has a three year Briggs & Stratton warranty.
AURORA owners and their passengers will appreciate the vehicle's ample legroom, its ergonomic handlebar steering and the smooth ride. The Aurora's excellent approach and departure angles make it easy to pursue the most adventurous of out door activities.
Eight ARGO RIBBED tyres put down the power to the ground responsibily. Their low ground pressure minimises the environmental footprint of the vehicle and protects the countryside. AURORA offers ground clearance of 9.5 inches, hydraulic vented disc brakes, a 12 volt 40 amp hour charging circuit (optional alternator system as an extra) and a state of the art automatic high and low CVT transmission. AURORA has the ADMIRAL triple differental steering transmission and fully hydraulic braking system. All vehicle systems and components have been engineered to maximise durability and ease of maintenance. 2021 models fitted with new Argo APS self centering "Easy-Steer" system for enhanced vehicle performance over all terrains and a top speed of 18 mph, were conditions allow.
