Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Pantera 580 Snowmobile (1995-2001)
The Arctic Cat Pantera 580, produced from 1995 to 2001, was a popular touring and trail snowmobile. It consistently featured a 580cc liquid-cooled Suzuki twin engine throughout its production run. While specific horsepower figures vary, a related model with the same engine produced nearly 100 hp. The primary trims included the standard carbureted version and the Pantera 580 EFI. The most significant change during this period was the introduction of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). Although some sources indicate EFI was available as early as 1995 or 1996, it became a more consistent and standard offering in later models, particularly from 1999 to 2001, known for smoother starts and optimal fuel efficiency. Beyond the fuel system, no other major generation changes or engine overhauls are indicated for the 1995-2001 Pantera 580. Frequently Asked Questions:
