Polaris Slingshot All Track Vehicle!
I can only say: “It's like surfing asphalt.”
Firstly, it’s a trike, as seen from the snapshot above. It features two seats, no doors, a tiny windshield, and a total of three wheels. Unlike the popular Can-Am Spyder three-wheeler, the Slingshot sits the driver down low in the cockpit amongst what appears to be a tubular space frame, similar to cars like the KTM X-Bow. That relation is only emphasized by the track-ready roll bars in place behind the seats and the aerodynamic bodywork.
Expect the Slingshot to be fast. How fast? Most estimates put top speed at around 130 mph thanks in part to an expected light curb weight and an anticipated 2.4-liter GM Ecotec four-cylinder, chucking out between 200 and 250 hp. Watch out for speeding trikes on your local motorway, the Slingshot is expected to be USA road-legal.
Judging by stills taken from the various Slingshot trailers, the Polaris employs a double-wishbone suspension up front (pictured above) and a belt-driven swing-arm setup out back. The gearbox remains a mystery, but judging by the photo below, you’ll be doing all the shifting manually. The Polaris has two models the Slingshot and the Slingshot SL.
Have fun!
