The 2021 Polaris Slingshot-It’s a Supercar-and It Might Be Right | Review and Spec

- This three-wheeled motorcycle, as Polaris classifies it, has been around for six years, and during that time, it grew in popularity, gaining a lot of fans. This led the Minnesota-based manufacturer to constantly improve it, bringing a host of new features for last year’s model and ditching the heavy GM-sourced Ecotec 2.4-liter engine.
It was replaced by a new 2.0-liter Prostar inline-four that is lighter and more compact, delivering 178 hp in the S and SL models and 203 hp in the R.
The engine was a great upgrade, but the five-speed automatic transmission was so ‘good’ that many who test drove it ended up buying a manual. Thankfully, Polaris seems to have solved the low-rev sagginess of the automatic that just ruined the fun of driving the previous model.

The 2021 Slingshot comes with a completely recalibrated gearbox that delivers faster and more constant shifts. In addition, a new hill-hold feature is now standard on all models, including the manual. It promises to significantly improve slow-speed performance.
Another issue with the automatic was the lack of paddle shifters. It’s incredibly naïve to forget this feature on an aggressive, bare naked speed machine called the Slingshot.
The Slingshot looks like it needs to go fast and, to do it properly with the AutoDrive gearbox, Polaris has finally come to its senses and fitted a pair of much-needed paddles on the improved model.
Designed from high-quality composite material, they look well placed and proportioned. The shifters come standard on all 2021 R models and are available as an upgrade for the S and SL.
The manufacturer was also nice enough to make them available for the 2020 models. They also offer the option to further upgrade previous Autodrive versions with the hill-hold feature.
These improvements will completely change the way the Slingshot drives. Adrenaline junkies can now push the capable 2.0-liter close to its 8,500-rpm limit easily, without the gearbox upshifting.
It will, however, downshift if the speed drops suddenly, which is a convenient feature. The 2021 models are also available with the five-speed manual which, in my opinion, complements the raw nature of this vehicle better than the upgraded automatic.
Apart from these changes, the wide range of customization options that make the Slingshot so popular has been expanded.
An all-new premium interior light kit developed by XKGlow enables owners to simultaneously set two different light zones to any color and pair the lights with the all-new sound system via a smartphone app.
I, for one, would not need an audio system in such a machine, but for those who do, Polaris adds a new 100-watt Rockford Fosgate system with redesigned pods and tweeters built in the dashboard.
This system comes as standard on the new R Limited Edition model, which also gets the paddle shifters, a 7.5-inch (190-mm) windscreen, forged aluminum wheels, and a unique Neon Fade asymmetrical paint job.
The 2021 lineup is available in dealerships with prices starting at $20,000 for the standard S model, $25,000 for the midrange SL and $32,000 for the superior R. Those looking to buy the limited edition model will have to pay an additional $1,000. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Mannnn y’all should just add regular doors and windshield + roof for ppl who wanna drive it when it rains
I’m gonna start saving so I can hopefully buy a slingshot in the future
The S is more than I need. But, It's only a dream for me. Heck, I had to replay this video because I got distracted day dreaming. 😂 I can't afford $19999.

Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing
Do they have any removable full weather enclosures so it could be used year round? Or would that make too much sense & be too practical?
Even tho they said full manual mode. It would be nice if it had a stick shift. I hate paddle shifters.
I really like this not to big but just right this will fit me good because I am short then if it raining have something to cover me up two seater
That person talking should make a slingshot 4 wheel with the same prototype that would be sick
You need car manufacturers license, insurance it's required safety, ac, emissions and all kinds of others things after all that costs apply ,the car would be 500000 dollars a piece. That make you sick
We’re did u order the doors
why are wearing full helmit skull cap is good
Rain?
i want to get it as a daily car but i don’t know if i can add a roof and doors in case it rains
thinking same thing buy a used bently or corvette and use this to make my daily moves running around . save the big cars fr the big show
Would be nice if the limited edition came in more colors. Not everyone is a fan of lime green, or any kind of green for their vehicle. Though people would still want all the features that are only available with the limited edition.
That's when you get a wrap lol.
@@adelgado8917 a what?
@@zero00044 car wrap
@@ezalator9653 have no idea what that is.
I love that green or orange
Woww excellent car,I love it!
Its actually classified as a motorcycle. Which means you are required in some states to look like a dork and wear a helmet. I have nothing against wearing a helmet but it definitely looks weird when driving what everyone else would say is a car. Especially when I wouldn't be going over 45 mph in this. Just around town. It's like wearing a helmet while driving a convertible car around town. It's just silly.
For a second I thought it didn't have cup holders but it does
Goal!!!! 2022-2023!! Want one!!
HOW ABOUT PRICE$$ ?? greetings from Houston

@@THEAFRICANCARGUY if it is classified as a car then how come the driver was wearing a helmet?
@@robertbutler8004 maybe because it doesn’t have a full sized windshield? 🤦🏻♂️
