Meet the 2026 Polaris Slingshot® Signature Edition Manual in **Golden Steel with Black Crystal**—a color combo that looks like it was poured from molten metal and finished with a midnight accent. It’s equal parts street sculpture and sport-touring troublemaker, built for the kind of drive where “taking the long way” isn’t a suggestion, it’s the whole point.
Dip into the throttle and the ProStar™ 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine makes its intentions clear. With **204.1 bhp at 7,500 rpm** and **150 ft-lbs of torque at 6,500 rpm**, this 2.0L (1,997cc) in-line four pulls with the kind of urgency that turns empty on-ramps into your favorite part of the day. The 12.5:1 compression and fuel injection help keep response crisp, while an **8,500 rpm redline** invites you to stretch every gear just a little longer—purely for research, of course.
This Signature Edition keeps you connected to the experience the right way: with a **5-speed manual** and **overdrive** for relaxed cruising when the road opens up. Power heads to the rear wheel through a **belt drive**, and yes—there’s **reverse**, because real-world fun should still be practical. With gearing that starts assertive and settles into an easy stride by fifth (0.75), it’s happy carving through your favorite route or rolling steady toward the horizon.
The Slingshot® stance is unmistakable: **149.6 inches long**, **77.9 inches wide**, and planted on a **105-inch wheelbase**. That wide track pairs with **independent double A-arm front suspension** and a **single-sided swing arm rear** (with a single rear shock) for a setup that feels purpose-built for sweeping corners and quick transitions. Aluminum wheels and Kenda SS-799 tires—**225/45 R18 up front** and a massive **305/30 R20 in back**—give it that “all grip, all business” look that the Golden Steel with Black Crystal paint only amplifies.
When it’s time to scrub speed, hydraulic disc brakes handle the job with confidence: **13.3-inch front rotors** and an **11.7-inch rear rotor**, each with **2-piston calipers**. And because the good times shouldn’t come with unnecessary worry, it’s equipped with a full set of smart protection touches like rotor/caliper guards, engine case guard, tank guard, belt guard, heel guards, and an exhaust guard—details that quietly underline how ready this machine is for real miles.
Inside, the vibe is simple: get comfortable and go. You and a passenger settle into **two bucket seats** trimmed in **vinyl**, with **fixed backrests** and the kind of cockpit layout that keeps your focus where it belongs. There are **two cupholders** for road-trip reality, clear **gauge-based fuel and temperature warnings**, and a **folding, tinted mid-height windshield** that helps take the edge off the wind without muting the open-air feel.
And when you want your soundtrack to match the scenery, the **Rockford Fosgate® audio system** with **four speakers** brings the volume, with **Bluetooth® audio** and **mobile app instrumentation** to keep your setup seamless. Navigation and interface duties are handled by **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, making it easier to chase new roads without breaking the rhythm.
At a glance, the Golden Steel with Black Crystal finish looks premium. In motion, it looks inevitable—like it was always meant to be out front, leading the pack. If you’re after a sport-touring ride that feels like an event every time you fire it up, this Slingshot® Signature Edition is ready to make your routine a lot less routine.
