Not Your Grandfather’s Three Wheeler – IOTW Report

Not Your Grandfather’s Three Wheeler

Tanner Foust was basically given the keys to San Diego last December and the chance to tear through the city in the early morning hours with a police escort closing the streets.

Using a hopped up Polaris Slingshot that looks like something out of a Batman movie, the Rallycross and Drift multi-champion demonstrates on city streets what the three wheeled vehicle is capable of doing.

 

If I ever need to race to the roof of a parking garage then spin donuts for twenty minutes, I’d pick the Slingshot.

 

Watch

At around $25,000 that looks like an affordable mid-life crisis-mobile.

    Yikes what a bike!

    No thank you. It’s a bit much for me. I wouldn’t be able to crank it like it’s meant to be. My lame-by-comparison Suzuki 1000 is scary/deadly enough.

  3. I don’t know this person. BUTT. If he has children he would be great for car pooling. Daddy will you take me and my friends to school today?
    (And every day). My 7 year old loves to go fast.
