News - Polaris points its Slingshot towards France - Polaris three-wheeler is approaching

Delighted with the success of its three-wheeler in the United States and Canada and convinced of its strong commercial potential in Europe – in France in particular – Polaris confirms that the Slingshot will land on the Old Continent at the end of 2015.. Explanations.

Polaris three-wheeler is approaching

Unveiled last summer and naturally presented on Site (read), the Polaris three-wheeler called Slingshot has had an extremely satisfying start to its career. "Liked" by more than 300,000 people on Facebook, the machine would be out of stock in US dealerships…

The success is such that Polaris has allowed itself to increase the price of its "reverse trike": posted at $ 19,999 a few weeks before its release, it is now labeled at $ 21,199. The SL version still asks for an extension of $ 4,000 but it is coupled with a more tempting – expensive – variation again: the SL LE at $ 26,199.

The importation of the Polaris Slinghot into France is therefore absolutely not surprising. But the announcement of his arrival, on the other hand, seems to have gone relatively unnoticed: the opening a few weeks ago on Facebook of a "Polaris Slingshot France" page – not to be confused with kitesurf kites! – only triggered 258 likes.

How many French people will go to the following mention "I buy"? We will have to wait a few months to find out: "we just know the release is slated for Q4. Information on pre-orders, depots, dealer network and prices will arrive soon, "French officials promise MNC. Stay tuned !
