Get FinancingPolaris’ Slingshot “Summer Of Fun” Sweepstakes: A Scenic Drive In Hawaii
Polaris is now accepting entries in a summer sweepstakes showcasing its Slingshot three-wheeled autocycle. The Grand Prize is a trip for two to Maui, Hawaii, including carving up the 620 curves of the Hana Highway between Kahului and Hana along the northeast coast.
“There is no better way to maximize your summer fun than to get behind the wheel and enjoy the fun driving experience of a Slingshot roadster,” said Polaris’ Vice President of Slingshot, Chis Sergeant. “The Road to Hana is one of the most iconic roads in the world, and from within the open-air cockpit of a Slingshot drivers can fully take in the exotic Hawaiian rainforests and breathtaking coastal views like never before.”
Sweepstakes Details
You can enter the contest in one of three ways: test-drive a Slingshot, rent one, or post a photo or video of yourself and a Slingshot you own on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with the hashtag #SlingshotSummerFun. Polaris is accepting consumer entries until September 22 of this year.
The drawing of two Grand Prize winners—each of whom can bring a guest—will take place by October 1, 2019. Each Grand Prize includes round-trip airfare to Maui, two nights’ hotel accommodations, a $500 Visa gift card, and a one-day rental of a Slingshot on the island for the memorable Hana Highway excursion.
Slingshot Lineup
The Polaris Slingshot comes in S, SL, SLR, and Grand Touring versions. Pricing ranges from $20,999 for the entry-level Slingshot S to $30,999 for the Slingshot GT.
The rear-wheel-drive, belt-driven Slingshot’s 2.4-liter, four-stroke, four-cylinder GM Ecotec engine lays down 173 horsepower (129 kilowatts) and 165 pounds-foot (224 newton meters) of torque through a five-speed manual transmission. With a curb weight of just 1,749 pounds (793 kilograms), those numbers hint at serious acceleration, at least to drivers more accustomed to four-wheeled vehicles.
You steer the Slingshot’s front wheels through a rack and pinion with speed-sensitive EPAS (Electronic Power-Assisted Steering). Among its safety features are antilock disc brakes, electronic stability and traction control, three-point seat belts, and rollover protection.
Kickstart Your Summer
Most states classify the Slingshot as an autocycle, so you may only need a standard driver’s license and not a motorcycle license to drive one. Helmets are still required, however. The Polaris Adventures site is the place to find outfitters offering packaged driving tours in various scenic regions of the U.S.
There’s a huge selection of new and used Polaris vehicles for sale on MotorSportsUniverse.com, including Slingshot trikes.
