Bombing in the city is quite simple. Simply press the D button to go. Pushing the gas pedal harder won’t do anything other than cause the clutch to disengage and the back wheel to squeal as you take off. There is a slight pause as the clutch engages.

Polaris Slingshot
If the 2020 Slingshot were an automobile, it would be considered a significant update. The original 2.4-liter inline-four from GM was never a particularly exciting or memorable engine when it was in a Chevy, and it wasn’t doing the Slingshot any favors either, so it was swapped out for a 2.0-liter I-4 made by Polaris. Instead of falling on its face at high rpm like the previous engine, it revs higher and produces its greatest power at redline. Additionally, it produces more horsepower, up from 173 to 178 in the base SL trim and 203 in the top-of-the-line R trim. Although it produces less torque—120 and 144 lb-ft, respectively—in a car with a reported curb weight under 1,700 pounds, it doesn’t really matter.

DID YOU KNOW?
ABOUT THE POLARIS SLINGSHOT
The new Autodrive five-speed automated manual gearbox, sometimes known as an automatic transmission, is the even larger news. With only a five-speed manual, Polaris quickly realized it was losing out on a significant portion of sales. This has already been fixed. Although this R model still comes with a manual transmission, I can assure you that most Slingshots sold moving forward will be automatics. The majority of individuals are unwilling to learn how to drive a stick.
