Polaris Slingshot is a three-wheeled autocycle, strictly speaking, it is a motorcycle, but it has the steering wheel and pedals of ordinary cars. In some parts of the United States, driving a Slingshot is exempt from wearing a helmet. Polaris is a company specializing in the manufacture of motorcycles, ATVs, and boat engines. It launched the three-wheeled Slingshot in 2014. The mechanical design has a strong resemblance to motorcycles. The four-cylinder engine was originally a 2.4-liter from General Motors in the United States. In 2020, the self-made ProStar 2-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine was adopted. The horsepower is nearly 180 horsepower, and the official specifications said that the top speed can reach 200km/h. For a tricycle with a weight of only 700 kg and an unsheltered cabin, a speed of 200km/h is quite scary. Of course, Edmond Lau did not have the courage to try the speed, but he wandered around the San Francisco Bay Area, trying to accelerate and turn, the turning center of a three-wheeler is very fun to drive, but Edmond dare not drive at high speed. A local friend who borrowed the car said that he once drove this Slingshot (model is SL, equipped with an automatic clutch gear box) to run laps at the racetrack, it felt scary, straight line speed is not high, and he needed to be cautious around corners. This is not a serious test drive, but Edmond is visiting an old friend and experiencing this Polaris Slingshot unique to the United States. The two chatted about test driving cars in the past in Hong Kong and life in the United States.
