In this video, we learn about the 2022 Polaris Slingshot SLR. Let's "Get Nerdy" with Kennan and explore the "Facts and Figures" of this manual, 203-horsepower Slingshot!
The Slingshot is a three-wheeled autocycle that's neither a motorcycle nor a car, and you probably have strong feelings about it - whether you've driven it or not. But come join Kennan for a ride, and you may just have your mind blown like he did.

I was about to correct you on who invented the snowmobile... but reading up on it, I guess Polaris was the first to make it a 2 seater recreational vehicle. I always thought Bombardier's small snowmobile was around the same time he came up with the big one, but apparently not! Bombardier were bus-like transport vehicles for a good 20 years. *the more you know*
@icomefromcanadia2783
@icomefromcanadia2783 9 месяцев назад
Bombardier invented the snowmobile, not Polaris. Similarly, the Polaris Slingshot is arguably based on the idea of the much earlier Campagna T-Rex, another Canadian vehicle, though I suppose you could say the T-Rex was based on the Morgan 3-Wheeler. Either way these are all cool machines

I rented one and these are actually really well built and a lot of fun. To be honest better than a motorcycle because you can have your wife/girlfriend right next to you and have a conversation. Don't know if I'd buy one due to not wanting to be grouped into the same category as the typical owner of these. Doesn't mean they suck or aren't a quality product though.

I wish people would stop trying to compare Polaris Slingshots to Miata's, or any of those other small sports cars. This is a completely different experience, not even remotely the same thing. Just like the two-wheeled motorcycle crowd the three-wheeled crowd is extremely strong, and if we want it to own a Miata we would have just went and bought one. I remember when Miata owners would get upset when people would laugh at them for calling miata's sports cars, but it really didn't matter what they thought, you drove it because you enjoyed it, that's the same thing with the Polaris Slingshot or any of the other three wheelers.

I've always liked Slingshots. If you already have a daily driver, having a completely impractical second car to scoot around in is fun. Slingshots definitely get noticed and they're easy to customize. They're safer than a motorcycle because of the seatbelts and rollbars and three points of contact while still giving the same wind in the face feeling. What's the point of speakers that point out though? Assuming they're real and wired up.

I will always associate these with people who think they are far cooler than they are. Like a local guy a couple years ago who was kicked out of a Poker Run because it's not a motorcycle. He then proceeded to get pissy, smashed the gas pulling out of the parking lot, drove it straight into a 4 ft deep ditch. Or the guy who drives around with the radio cranked, with a subwoofer in there somewhere, and LED light strips on every angle of bodywork that pulses with the beat. He also tried a stop light race with C7 Corvette. Didn't go in his favor

My speculation that when the rental models all end up in ditches & the stereotypical owner of these is reduced to a bygone strawman of the 2010s that we'll start seeing these cheap. I'd say in the next 5yrs. Ik Dougs trying to accelerate the 'coolness' process but that's not really something you can do (especially when the douches who own these are still the main demographic of owners) lol. Also once these are cheap I could see enthusiasts getting these to add the 4wheel-kit and have a decent plug-n-play exocar.

A quick view at Wikipedia will show that “Edgar and Allen Hetteen and David Johnson of Roseau, Minnesota, invented what we now know as the modern snowmobile in 1955-1956, but the early machines were heavy (1,000 lb or 450 kg) and slow (20 mph or 32 km/h). Their company, Hetteen Hoist & Derrick Co., became Polaris Industries which introduced their first commercial model, the Polaris Sno Traveler in 1957.”

It’s a weird mix of choices. You get to be eye level with diesel trucks and their exhaust pipe, I’d want a helmet with a built in N95 mask as you’d be eating pollution all day. It seems absolutely unsafe on a highway and not great in town. I guess if you specifically live in nice hilly wine country?

It actually was underrated. It was surprisingly spacious and the GT models were pretty quick. It was the poor quality coupled with owners' tendency to drive them into the ground that did them a disservice.

@@bwofficial1776 do you really think so? I never timed it but I was guessing zero to 60 around 5.5 to 6 seconds. Spacious is The one thing I couldn't argue. Features, amenities, acceleration, road handling, traveling over 75 miles an hour, comfort, every piece of plastic warping. For added fun try any sort of road with bumps right after a surprise shower. I've not experienced any other vehicle that darts around the same way.

@@bigchief9313 it has roll bars like any convertible, in the unlikely event you managed to flip such a low vehicle. It has the same number of airbags as a motorcycle. And how does being buckled into a protective metal cage qualify as “zero protection?" Are your assuming that falling off your motorcycle and sliding down the asphalt until you encounter something solid is safer than being buckled into a metal cage?
