Polaris points its Slingshot towards France
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 Slingshot is therefore a business that works! Those who doubt it are also invited by the manufacturer to watch the videos of its official YouTube channel, such as the one relayed in in which the passenger spends his time having fun and concludes with a "Well it holds up !"rather convincing.
"The United States has already discovered the thrill of the Slingshot, so much so that stocks are currently depleted and current production covers unfulfilled orders", tells us Dario Baraggia, product manager for Slingshot for Polaris EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa).
Obviously delighted with the box of its "slingshot" on its territory, the brand from Medina (Minnesota, USA) decided to point it in the direction of the European market: "we anticipate a similar trend in Europe, which is why we will be opening a pre-order program to offer our first customers the chance to get the first models destined for Europe".
However, France presents itself as the main target of the Americans: the success of Piaggio’s MP3 in France is unparalleled (almost half of the world production is sold in France!) And we see more and more on our roads of Can-Am Spyder or Harley-Davidson Trike (read our).
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 !
