Unlike any other vehicle out on the road, the Polaris Slingshot is one vehicle that has to be experienced in order to really understand its magnetic draw and attraction to riders.
A vehicle that has no doors and no roof, but you still ride in it and not on it. This unique design is called an “open cockpit” and is the essence of the Slingshot experience. The thrill of the openness and flow of air, sound, and smells that move through the cockpit while your driving is what makes this vehicle so fun and fulfilling to drive.
It’s like the difference between seeing a beautiful picture of a sunset, and actually physically being at the sunset to take it all in with all your senses. It’s just not the same.

Now open cockpits aren’t necessarily new to vehicles. Motorcycles have open cockpits, but with a motorcycle, you’re riding on it so there’s a large variable of balance and making sure you keep your vehicle upright. This is not the case with a Slingshot. In the Polaris Slingshot, you’re riding in the vehicle with a steering wheel and pedals. You’re sitting in an open cockpit, in a unique 3-wheeled roadster.
Because of this, you have a one of a kind panoramic view of the scenery before you. So even if you’re joy riding in an extremely familiar place like your neighborhood, you’re experiencing it differently and more completely because your riding perspective is so different and unique.
Now pair that quality of perspective with riding to your favorite places and favorite destinations and you’ve just reinvented the way you experience the world around you. That is the thrill of the slingshot.
It’s changing the lens of your driving experience to allow more light and nuance into your view. That light and nuance being openness, lower to the ground, panoramic views, air, smell, sounds, etc into your driving experience.
