Polaris is marking a major milestone as the Slingshot, its bold and unconventional three-wheeled vehicle, celebrates 10 years on the road. Over the past decade, the Polaris Slingshot has turned heads across North America and beyond with its unique design, open cockpit, and side-by-side seating configuration, while carving out a niche in the powersports industry. To honor the occasion, Polaris has unveiled its most premium model yet—the limited-edition Slingshot 10.

Built on the foundation of the top-tier R model, the Slingshot 10 commemorates a decade of redefining the driving experience with advanced technology, exclusive styling, and a focus on performance. For Polaris, the Slingshot represents more than just innovative engineering; it has become a lifestyle vehicle for its owners. “Looking back at our journey over the last decade, Slingshot has been a catalyst to bring new customers into the powersports category while at the same time growing into a lifestyle, becoming the center point for like-minded people to get out, socialize, and enjoy the open road,” said Josh Hermes, vice president of Polaris Slingshot. He added that this milestone model was designed as a “showpiece” of the company’s achievements while celebrating the loyal community that has grown around the distinctive three-wheeler.

The Slingshot 10 boasts exclusive anniversary styling both inside and out, making it a standout on any road. Its exterior features a colorway dominated by Radiant Red Pearl paint—a nod to the original Slingshot Red introduced with the vehicle’s launch in 2015. Accents of Black Metallic, white, and teal add further sophistication, alongside commemorative “ghosted” 10th anniversary graphics and badging prominently displayed on the hood, rear fin, and hubcaps. Five-spoke honeycomb wheels in a gloss black finish complete the design, giving the vehicle its signature dynamic look.


The interior has received equal attention to detail, with unique touches designed to elevate the driver’s experience. Color-matched finishes on the steering wheel, instrument cluster, and glove box pair with custom-stitched seating for a tailored feel. The cockpit is equipped with the high-definition Stage 3 Max Rockford Fosgate sound system, known for its industry-leading audio clarity. It includes headrest-mounted speakers, eight-inch side panel speakers, and features ambient lighting that can be customized via a mobile app. Illuminating details extend throughout the interior, offering visual effects that can be synchronized to music or set in themed patterns, adding a personal touch for drivers and passengers alike.

Under the hood, the Slingshot 10 is ready to hit the road with top-tier performance. Available with either a manual or AutoDrive transmission, the vehicle delivers a sportier ride than earlier models. Engineers fine-tuned the transmission for smoother shifts and added a modest boost in horsepower and torque, enabling sharper acceleration. The inclusion of four-piston Brembo brakes provides confident stopping power, with front brake rotors that are 14% larger than those on the standard model. Combined with precise handling, these refinements ensure the Slingshot 10 delivers a thrilling yet polished ride.

Technological upgrades also take center stage in this limited edition. The 7-inch RIDE COMMAND touchscreen display provides GPS navigation, real-time vehicle data, and connected services such as live weather updates and Apple CarPlay integration. Heated and cooled seats offer additional comfort, complete with the anniversary model’s signature stitching. Customizable LED lighting powered by XKGlow extends throughout the interior and exterior, further enhancing its striking presence on the road.

Since its debut in 2015, the Polaris Slingshot has been a pioneering force in the powersports market, blending elements of motorcycles and cars to create a category-defying vehicle. Its appeal, Polaris says, lies not only in its performance but also in its ability to bring people together. Over the years, the Slingshot has attracted a community of enthusiasts who value the freedom of open-road driving and the collaborative spirit of group rides.

Starting at $38,999, the limited edition Slingshot 10 is now shipping to dealers in limited quantities.
