The crew at SlingshotForums.com behind the wheel of a 2015 Polaris Slingshot blasting down a test track ripping through 3 gears.

We all knew yall were holding back. I still say the rzr x1 had a role in this machine.

 

[dascrow]

It's awesome that we can FINALLY talk about it It's hard to hide your excitement for that long.

I cannot wait to see the Slingshot X1...

 

[Tango]

So???? What is the time????

 

[NickJ]

So???? What is the time????

We didn't have any official times that were measured and provable, so we know that we got to 60+ mph in some time that will be made official at a later date.

Just think about the length of the video and getting to 3rd gear in that time.

 

[Vantage]

The acceleration times are HIGHLY variable. It could be anything depending on where you live and the conditions.

 

[NorCalRider]

Motor sounds decent for that large muffler box.

 

[Super 8]

Sounds to be around 7 seconds from start till 3rd.

 

[tsquare602]

Pretty sweet. Chirping third straight from the factory is a good thing.

 

[Rockraven]

Sounds to be around 7 seconds from start till 3rd.

I counted 5 Mississippis and a bit, from a rolling start. From a standing 6000 rpm clutch dump, my guess is it'll do 4.5 seconds.

 

[Super 8]

If you watch the seconds at the bottom of the video, they start at the 15 second mark and shift into 3rd at 22.

 

[407guy]

It would HAVE to be faster than 7 seconds. Have to... Otherwise it will be a complete dud from a performance standpoint.

Anything less than 5.5 seconds is going to be plenty quick and I would expect (hope) it to be there.

 

[RobertO]

Wow ...bummer. once again

That did look to be in the 5-6 second range.

 

[Mustang Man]

A stock Solstice has a 0-60 time of 6.9sec. So being 1100lb lightershould quicken that time up pretty decently.

 

[4Nines]

I don't have the 0-60 test results, but this car is quick. I would guess 5 seconds or less.

 

[dragonacc]

Regardless of how fast it is from the factory no one is planning on leaving it completely stock right? A low boost supercharger or turbo should get this thing down to Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, etc. times.

This CAR ??? Shame on you.

Even Polaris is quick to point out that it is not an automobile.

A very big selling point is 0-60 and 1/4 mile times on anything even a horse . Polaris know speed sells and hopefully did not jump into this b4 they worked that out . I would hope it would hang with a stock SS Camaro in the 1/4 at least.

Hope it don't take that much to get it to run , if it does I'm out I was thinking more of it
