The 2020 Polaris Slingshot—still a conversation starter on three wheels

The 2020 Polaris Slingshot has an all-new engine and transmission, but it remains for extroverts only.

It looks like nothing else on the road, and if you want to create attention, it certainly fits the bill.

The seats are waterproof, like the ones on a boat.

I’m not sure if 24.9mg is entirely representative of the Slingshot’s fuel efficiency, as our test machine seemed to be running quite rich.

Polaris said an automated transmission has been its most common request, and so it created AutoDrive.

The infotainment system has been tweaked a little over last year’s model.

If you don’t want to see the navigation app, there’s a status page.

The single 20-inch rear tire’s grip can be overwhelmed if you’re heavy with the throttle. But AutoDrive kept shifting before we could get the engine anywhere near its peak power.

There are cubbies behind the seats so you can stow your crash helmet. Which you definitely should wear when you drive this.
