Polaris, famous for snowmobiles and ATVs, introduced the Slingshot for the 2015 model year. This three-wheeled "autocycle" uses a car engine and a 2-front, 1-rear wheel layout to deliver an experience that's neither a car nor a motorcycle. Original models used a 2.4L GM Ecotec engine, while models from 2020 onward feature a new 2.0L Polaris-built engine.
The Slingshot's main draw is its radical, open-cockpit design and the unfiltered connection to the road. It’s an attention-grabbing machine that offers a visceral thrill you can't find in many other vehicles. Buyers aren't typically investors but rather enthusiasts looking for a unique weekend toy that stands out from the crowd.
Buying Tips
- Check the rear swingarm for any signs of cracks or stress, a critical point of failure on these vehicles.
- Test all electronics, as early models were subject to recalls for lighting and instrument cluster failures.
- Inspect the exposed cockpit plastics and seat upholstery for fading and cracking from UV exposure.
- Verify that all safety recalls have been addressed, particularly those related to the steering and braking systems.
- Decide between the traditional 5-speed manual and the automated "AutoDrive" transmission introduced for the 2020 model year.
