We have another 11 seconds of Slingshot Teaser Video! Not a lot of new information, we were able to grab some screen shots that will help to flesh out the look of this vehicle.

If you look really closely, you will see that the gauge has an icon for all sorts of awesome driver aids. I see icons for Traction Control, Stability Control, and more importantly, "Traction Control OFF" and "Stability Control OFF!" This little rocket might just be a lot of run to drive. With these two driver aids, I can only assume that the Slingshot will have enough power that it could get you into trouble if you are not on top of your game.


Looking at the height of the seat to the road, this thing is going to have the seat of your pants getting warm from the asphalt passing under you at a high rate of speed.

The front wheels and tires look to be high quality, road ready tires that leads me to think that this monster is going to mean business and have some serious road-going clout.


The seats don't look exactly comfortable, but I will hold my tongue until I actually get my posterior in the driver's seat. The hoops behind the seats look to be beefy enough to inspire a bit of confidence in the safety of the Slingshot. It reminds me of the hoops on an old Shelby Cobra. Either I am looking at this wrong, but it looks to me like the seat belts anchor in the center and pull towards the outside of the machine... I wonder if they just mirrored the image, or if that is legit. Also, there are no doors that I can see on this machine. I wonder how secure you feel whipping this thing into the corners without any sort of door to inspire the thought of safety.
