Sparks Motors Builds Retro-Inspired Polaris RZR Pro R 4

Cutting edge homage to how things were back in the day.

Before today’s traditional side-by-sides, the dunes were filled with custom-built sand cars, often donning bright colors and crazy paint schemes. For many, these vehicles are a thing of the past, but they paved the way and evolved into the Polaris RZR lineup we have today.

To pay homage to these old sand cars, Polaris recruited Diesel Brother’s Dave “Heavy D” Sparks, known for his wild and over-the-top custom builds, to transform a new RZR Pro R 4. The RZR Pro R 4 takes power, strength, and control to the next level, offering even the most demanding riders the ultimate thrill when behind the wheel. This makes it the perfect vehicle to tackle any terrain, including the steep sand climbs and long drag straights out in the dunes.

Already equipped with the largest and most powerful factory engine ever dropped into a side-by-side, Dave and his team at Sparks Motors set out to further elevate this best-performing vehicle. Starting with a bright orange and sky-blue Pro Line wrap, the Pro R 4 brings the vision to life, while full RIGID Industries light kits keep the vehicle visible from sun up to sun down. Sparks Motors also added additional components to increase performance and durability, including a Packard Exhaust, Pro Armor doors, windshield, reinforced roof, and sand tires, Hostile wheels and DRT fenders, aluminum grill and spare tire adventure rack.

This Sparks Motors custom-built RZR Pro R 4 debuted this past weekend at the return of Camp RZR in Glamis. Dave Sparks and his team were onsite to talk about the inspiration and build process before hitting the dunes to put the vehicle to the test.
