Nobody really knew, least of all Polaris Slingshot For Sale , so it saved some money by powering the Slingshot with General Motors’s lazy-revving 2.4-liter Ecotec inline-four.

The original Polaris Slingshot, launched in 2015,

was a hedged bet: a three-wheeled, Batman-looking

two-seater that wasn’t fully sure of its mission.

Was this a motorcycle surrogate? Was it a

stripped-down sports car? Was it a commuter

vehicle that shows your local motor vehicles

department rep that you play by nobody’s

rules but your own? Did you need a motorcycle

license for this thing or what?

An Appropriate Powerplant

For the 2020 model year, Polaris has finally addressed the

power issue, plus a few other things on the Slingshot’s to-do list.

The most drastic change isn’t the bump in power—now 203 horses,

up from 173—but the way in which that power is delivered.

The new engine, designed in-house for the Slingshot,

is a 2.0-liter four with a righteous 8500-rpm redline.

This peaky, whirling dervish, dubbed Prostar,

makes its power up high, in keeping with the

Slingshot’s sportbike-inspired attitude.

The more powerful iteration, found in the $30,999 R model,

hits its horsepower peak at 8250 rpm. The detuned base

engine is somehow even more manic, making 178 ponies

at 8500 rpm. That’s not a stat you see every day—horsepower

peak and redline sharing a number. Torque is wispy in either

model, with 120 lb-ft in the $26,499 SL model and 144 lb-ft in the R,

compared to 166 lb-ft from the old GM tractor engine.
