Slingshot 101

    The first-timer's guide to the Polaris Slingshot

    This category answers the questions people ask before they've ever sat in a Polaris Slingshot: what it is, whether it's a car or a motorcycle, what license Texas requires to drive one, how AutoDrive works, top speed, how it handles in the rain, and what it actually feels like on the road. It's written for people who are curious or nervous, not just enthusiasts who already know the vehicle inside and out.

    If reading about it makes you want to try it, our Drive & Go package is a one-hour, no-dealer test drive from Ennis, TX — the fastest way to find out for yourself. See our FAQ for the licensing and safety questions we get asked most.
