The New Polaris Slingshot: This Is It

Is it a bike? Is it a car? Is it a trike? No, no, and… well, sort of, but not really? What it is, is the Polaris Slingshot, a three-wheeler that has always been one of those weird machines that seems to defy categorization.

And for 2025, the Slingshot is back, and it's meaner, sharper, and packing even more attitude than before.
