PRESS RELEASE On the heels of its most significant product launch, Polaris Slingshot today announced extensive upgrades and enhancements to its 2021 model lineup focused on The Drive, The Style and The Sound. The 2021 Slingshot will elevate everyday commutes, weekend getaways, and adventures to a showstopping new level. While the 2020 Slingshot featured 70% new vehicle content, the brand’s new AutoDrive transmission proved to be a true game changer. Slingshot nearly doubled its business during peak seasonality from May through September and saw 80% of its dealers grow or remain flat in year-over-year sales comparisons. In addition, of those who purchased, over 80% were new customers to Polaris. “In January, we promised our new 2020 Slingshot would be a game changer for consumers and dealers,” said Chris Sergeant, Polaris Slingshot Vice President. “Based on the tremendous success we have seen this year, there is no question we delivered on that promise. We elevated the experience in every meaningful way and created a more accessible offering for people to enjoy the next-level driving experience only a Slingshot can deliver.” Focusing on the drive, style, and sound, Slingshot’s 2021 lineup is headlined by an upgraded AutoDrive transmission, now with paddle shifters, a new Rockford Fosgate® audio system, Apple CarPlay® integration, new trim levels, and Slingshot’s largest offering of accessory upgrades ever offered. “Listening to our owners, we left no stone unturned to fully refine, update and enhance our product lineup for 2021. New features like Apple CarPlay® and paddle shifters for AutoDrive were among the top requests,” said Sergeant. “We also took cues from our owners to expand our accessories for 2021, and now have our largest offering ever – providing owners with countless ways to accessorize and personalize their Slingshot with parts that will take their ride to a whole new level.” THE DRIVE With no doors, no roof and a ground clearance of merely five inches, there’s nothing that drives quite like a Slingshot. The introduction of the AutoDrive transmission opened the door for more people to get in, stand out, and elevate their everyday driving experience. Now, for 2021, Slingshot has refined a one-of-a-kind driving experience to ensure the daily commute, a trip to the grocery store, or weekend getaway will deliver an unmatched adventure and an attention-grabbing experience. AutoDrive A complete retune of the AutoDrive transmission noticeably improves shifting at low and high speeds in both drive modes. The new 2021 transmission calibration provides smoother, faster, and more consistent shifts, allowing drivers to feel even more confident and connected to the drive every time they get behind the wheel. The 2021 AutoDrive calibration is available and compatible for 2020 Slingshot models with AutoDrive. Paddle Shifters Nothing connects the driver with the vehicle more than the ability to shift gears. With Slingshot’s all-new paddle shifters, drivers with an AutoDrive transmission can take control of their drive and shift gears on demand. Designed from high quality composite material to deliver great feedback while driving, the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters come standard on 2021 R models with AutoDrive and are available as an upgrade for all 2020 and 2021 models with AutoDrive. Hill Hold An upgraded feature standard for all AutoDrive and manual 2021 models, vehicle hill hold dramatically improves slow speed drivability and increases driver confidence on any hill. 2020 Slingshot owners can update their ride and fully take advantage of the new vehicle hill hold feature. Accessories Designed to take the unique driving experience to an entirely new level, Slingshot has assembled two driving-inspired accessory collections: The Excursion Series and The Drive Series. Excursion Series: Upgrading comfort and adding storage, the Slingshot Excursion Series has been designed for the adventurous spirit looking to explore. The series includes a new storage bag collection, tall wind deflector, Slingshade, and heated and cooled seats. Drive Series: Curated to maximize the most of every drive, the Drive Series includes new paddle shifters, heated and cooled seats, and a new dead pedal to give AutoDrive drivers a convenient place to rest their left foot. Additionally, S and SL drivers can add nearly 15% more power to their ride with the stage 1 tune. THE STYLE Head-turner. Show-stopper. There’s nothing on the road like the Polaris Slingshot. For many owners, the vehicle is a platform for self-expression through customization, and it’s all about standing out from the crowd with one-of-a-kind styling. In 2021, Slingshot introduces new trim levels, expanded color accents, and all-new customizable interior lighting system. New Trim Levels New for 2021, Slingshot is introducing the R Limited Edition. At the top of the line, the R Limited Edition will stand out from the crowd with its limited-edition, asymmetrical designed Neon Fade paint, blacked-out badging, and lightweight aluminum matte black wheels. Available in a manual or AutoDrive transmission, the R Limited Edition includes paddle shifters with AutoDrive, new Rockford Fosgate® audio system with redesigned speaker pods and Rockford tweeters in the dash, Ride Command with Apple CarPlay® and turn-by-turn navigation, and vehicle hill hold. Slingshot’s S model, available with two package options, has been designed for drivers seeking the essentials, but with an eye towards customization. The standard S, starting at $19,999, is available in manual or AutoDrive and offers the perfect canvas for drivers looking to create a ride that truly represents their personality and style. Drivers looking to beef up their S can add Technology Package 1, which includes the new 100-watt Rockford Fosgate® audio system with a 2.7-inch display, redesigned speaker pods and Rockford Fosgate® tweeters in the dash. Technology Package 1 also upgrades the S models with the vehicle security package and a standard ripper series clear wind deflector to improve driver and passenger comfort. Accessories With its largest portfolio of accessories ever, Slingshot owners have countless options to mix and match to create a style and design that’s uniquely their own. Color Accents: Adding seven new color accents, Slingshot owners now have even more options to add a pop of color to the exterior of their Slingshot. The new colors are available to accent the front grille, front upper and lower fender, roll hoop, belt guards, exterior muscles stripes, rear fender, and rear fender decal. Interior Lighting: Inside the cockpit, Slingshot is excited to introduce an all-new customizable premium interior light kit. In partnership with XKGlow®, owners can outfit the interior of their Slingshot with six LED lights and an LED light pod in various locations. With the mobile Slingshot LED app, owners can simultaneously set two different light zones to any color including color matching from your phone's camera and pair the lights with their music to choreograph the lights while the music plays. Design Series: Assembled as an inspirational collection, the Slingshot Design Series is an assortment of colorful parts to match anyone’s personality and stand out from the crowd. The collection includes a color matched Slingshade, a painted front grille, upper and lower accent pieces, front wing guards, rear fender with decal, belt guard, lower hoop accent, interior and exterior accent kits, and Slingshot’s black badge kit. THE SOUND With an open-air cockpit, owners can be the center of attention and take the party wherever they go. The Slingshot’s bold styling is hard to miss, but with an upgraded audio system and an optional stage 3 roll hoop audio kit, drivers are sure to be heard just as easily as they are seen. Rockford Fosgate® Audio System Slingshot drivers are immersed within their environment and need a quality sound system to rise above. Introducing the new Rockford Fosgate® audio system. With 100 watts, redesigned speaker pods, Rockford Fosgate® tweeters built in the dash, and expandable plug and play Rockford Fosgate® Amplifier, drivers will have no problem hearing crystal-clear sound at any speed, in any driving condition. In addition, the new Rockford Fosgate® audio system makes it easy to double the output by adding rear speakers via a convenient plug and play kit. Apple CarPlay® An industry-first for side-by-side three-wheel vehicles, Apple CarPlay® will come standard on R and R Limited Edition trims and available as an upgrade on SL. Apple CarPlay® seamlessly integrates iPhone® devices with the Slingshot’s built-in Ride Command infotainment system. Drivers and passengers can make phone calls (with a Bluetooth® headset), access music, send and receive messages, get directions, and more while staying focused on the road. Additionally, 2020 Slingshot owners can update their Ride Command with Apple CarPlay®. Accessories Inspired by the sound, lights and energy of a concert, Slingshot curated an accessories package to bring it all to life – the Slingshot Concert Series. Concert Series: There’s nothing like live music. The energy, the excitement – all of which describe the Slingshot experience. The Slingshot Concert Series delivers everything drivers and passengers want and love from a live show directly to the cockpit. An all-new plug and play Stage 3 roll hoop audio kit by Rockford Fosgate® packs even more energy, delivering even more volume to the city streets. Paired with the new premium interior light kit by XKGlow®, drivers are sure to be the center of attention as music blasts in sync with the dramatic light show.

2021 Polaris Slingshot Rocks Retuned AutoDrive Transmission With Paddle Shifters 8 Dec 2020 Introduced in 2014 to critical acclaim and commercial success, the Slingshot was improved for 2020 with 70 percent new content. The 2021 model year brings a few more updates for the three-wheeled land missile, starting with the AutoDrive AMT that now features paddle shifters. The automated manual based on the standard five-speed stick shift has also been retuned for improved changes at low and high speeds in both drive modes. The software-based calibration promises smoothness and responsiveness, translating to a connected and engaging driving experience. Also new for 2021, Polaris has added Hill Hold Assist for both transmissions of the Slingshot. Like the paddle shifters mentioned earlier, 2020 owners can update their ride to take advantage of the new features. The three-wheeled thriller has also added a limited-run model called the R Limited Edition, slotting at the very top of the lineup. Asymmetrical-designed Neon Fade paintwork helps it stand out in the crowd, along with black-out badging and matte-black aluminum wheels. As opposed to the entry-level Slingshot S that costs $19,999 or $21,699 depending on the transmission, the range-topping version retails at $32,799 or $34,799, respectively. An open-air cockpit implies lots of wind and tire noise, which is why Polaris has added a Rockford Fosgate audio system with 100 watts on deck. Tweeters built in the dashboard, redesigned speaker pods, and an amplifier should be enough for most people, but Slingshot customers can double the output by adding a rear-speaker kit described as a plug-and-play upgrade. Last but certainly not least, the side-by-side three-wheeler will come standard with Apple CarPlay as long as you go for the R or R Limited Edition. Available as an upgrade on the SL trim level, the phone mirroring function is seamlessly integrated into the Ride Command 7.0-inch infotainment system. “In January, we promised that our 2020 Slingshot would be a game-changer for consumers and dealers,” said Polaris Industries vice president Chris Sergeant. “Based on the tremendous success we have seen this year, there is no question we delivered on that promise. We elevated the experience in every meaningful way and created a more accessible offering for people to enjoy the next-level driving experience only a Slingshot can deliver.”
Polaris Slingshot 2021 obtiene un nuevo modelo base y una caja de cambios AutoDrive mejorada 8 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2020 Probamos el Polaris Slingshot a principios de este año y quedamos menos que impresionados con su transmisión AutoDrive, que describimos como un "ejercicio de compromiso que a veces puede ser francamente enloquecedor". La compañía está atendiendo nuestras quejas para 2021, ya que han realizado un "reajuste completo" de la transmisión. Polaris dice que esto "mejora notablemente los cambios a velocidades bajas y altas", además de ofrecer "cambios más suaves, rápidos y consistentes". Las actualizaciones no se detienen ahí, ya que el manual automatizado de cinco velocidades gana nuevas paletas de cambio montadas en el volante. Vienen de serie en el Slingshot R y son opcionales en los modelos menores con la transmisión AutoDrive. Además, hay una nueva función Hill Hold que viene de serie en las variantes manual y AutoDrive. Evita que el modelo ruede hacia atrás cuando quitas el pie del freno. Los propietarios del Slingshot 2020 no se quedan en el frío ya que las paletas de cambio, la recalibración de la caja de cambios y la función Hill Hold también estarán disponibles en el modelo del año pasado. Nuevo modelo base que comienza en $ 19,999 La otra gran noticia para 2021 es el regreso del Slingshot S, que comienza en $ 19,999. Eso lo hace $ 6,500 menos costoso que el Slingshot SL de nivel de entrada del año pasado. Diseñado para conductores que "buscan lo esencial", el modelo está escasamente equipado, pero está disponible con transmisiones manuales y AutoDrive. Los compradores también pueden optar por el paquete tecnológico 1, que incluye un deflector de viento, un sistema de seguridad y un sistema de audio Rockford Fosgate de 100 vatios con una pantalla de 2,7 pulgadas. Otra nueva incorporación es la Slingshot R Limited Edition, que encabeza la gama. Cuenta con un trabajo de pintura asimétrico Neon Fade, insignias negras y llantas de aluminio livianas con un acabado negro mate. El modelo también tiene un sistema de información y entretenimiento Ride Command de 7 pulgadas con navegación GPS, así como Apple CarPlay. Más tecnología y personalización Dado que los Slingshots están diseñados para destacarse entre la multitud, los modelos 2021 ofrecen más personalización que nunca. Hay siete nuevos colores de acento exterior y un kit de iluminación interior premium. Este último cuenta con seis luces LED y una cápsula de luz LED, que se puede coreografiar con música o cambiar con la aplicación Slingshot LED. Como se mencionó anteriormente, el Slingshot 2021 gana compatibilidad con Apple CarPlay . Viene de serie en los modelos R y R Limited Edition, y será opcional en el SL. Los propietarios de Slingshots 2020 también pueden actualizar su sistema Ride Command para admitir CarPlay. En cuanto al tema de las opciones, el nuevo paquete de la serie Concert agrega un kit de audio de aro enrollable y luces estilo rave. También hay nuevos paquetes Drive, Design y Excursion que combinan varios accesorios que se centran en el rendimiento, la apariencia y los viajes. Debajo del capó, hay un motor familiar de 2.0 litros y cuatro cilindros que produce 178 hp (133 kW / 180 PS) y 120 libras-pie (163 Nm) de torque en el Slingshot S y SL. Esos números saltan a 203 hp (151 kW / 206 PS) y 144 libras-pie (195 Nm) en el Slingshot R y R Limited Edition. El Polaris Slingshot 2021 se dirige actualmente a los distribuidores y los precios oscilan entre $ 19,999 y $ 34,799.
No se que tiene, pero me gusta. Tiene que ser un juguetito muy divertido. Lo malo, pasar desapercibido.

Una cam am carrozada ,ya hace tiempo que exite algo similar ... Con manillar en vez de volante ,pero mas menos .
He intentado buscar alguno en Autoscout. La marca Polaris no aparece entre los coches, sino entre las motos... sí figura el modelo Slingshot pero no hay ninguno a la venta en España. Solo 5 en toda Europa... pero eso sí, hay uno en Bélgica con muy pocos km y a buen precio. https://www.autoscout24.es/anuncios...-e053-0100007f3eaa?cldtidx=1&cldtsrc=listPage
Dame una rueda más El KTM lleva motor Audi así que recambio barato y sin problemas El Ariel es demasiado liviano, en el KTM al menos estás más cubierto (mi vecino tiene uno en el garaje) Para ir con un trípode al menos voy en un can-am
No tiene nada que ver, la Can Am es una moto con 2 ruedas delante, con manillar, sillín y todo lo normal en una moto incluida la posición para conducir encima del vehículo, esto es más parecido a un coche cabrio biplaza pero con 3 ruedas, con sus 2 asientos paralelos en los que vas sentado comodamente cerca del suelo y la espalda apoyada en el respaldo, con su volante, palanca y 3 pedales ...
Si te pones unas mallas verdes y un antifaz, se te pone cara de Robin cuando te montas en el Polaris.
Es lo mismito , solo cambia cono llevas el culo y los mandos . Al igual que muchos quad y buggies . No es la can am lo que mas emociona dentro de las motos y supongo que ese chisme será mas menos lo mismo. Otra cosa es el KTM pej.
Claro, es como si dices que es lo mismo un Boxster que una Multipla solo cambian unos pequeños detalles
Ahi tienes , la misma cosa pero en un video sin edicion claro. En vez de girar el volante giras un manillar ,aceleras con la mano y cambias con el pié.
El Can Am es una moto normal pero con 2 ruedas delante, el Polaris es un coche pequeño con 3 ruedas, tricíclo o 3 wheeler, más de 100 años tiene el conceto... ... también lo hay con 2 ruedas detrás y una delante... ...ahora ya si me dices que una moto y un coche es lo misma cosa, pues entonces sí
Nop... Las motos de 2 ruedas delanteras inclinan o se tumban en las curvas . El concepto de la Can Am es el mismo que el del Polaris.
