SPEED & PERFORMANCE PROFILE
125 MPH Top Speed:
The 2022 Slingshot R AutoDrive delivers exhilarating acceleration and a governed top speed of 125 mph . This electronic limiter ensures reliability and safety while still providing more than enough velocity for thrilling backroad blasts and highway cruising.
0-60 MPH in 4.9 Seconds:
With its high-revving 2.0L engine and responsive drivetrain, the Slingshot R rockets to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, putting it on par with supercars from around 20 years ago . The engine delivers peak power at 8,250 RPM, with an 8,500 RPM redline that rewards enthusiastic driving .
203 HP ProStar Engine:
The Polaris-designed 2.0L DOHC inline-four produces 203 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and 144 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 RPM . Engine highlights include:
- DOHC 16-valve design for efficient high-rpm breathing
- Multiport fuel injection for crisp throttle response
- 11.5:1 compression ratio for strong power delivery
- 8,500 RPM redline—among the highest in production vehicles
- The R model packs the most horsepower in the 2022 lineup
AutoDrive Transmission with Paddle Shifters:
The automatic gearbox is an excellent fallback if you want one less thing to think about, but the real fun begins when you take control . The Slingshot R has a “manual” setting and standard paddle shifters, meaning you can bypass the automatic and really get the most from the three-wheeler’s acceleration .
Key transmission insights from professional reviews:
- The auto setting tends to shift too early, hamstringing acceleration—you’ll go from zero to forty, back to 26, then crawl back into the power band
- With paddle shifters engaged, you can achieve the full 4.9-second 0-60 time
- There’s a small delay between paddle tap and gear change, but it’s infinitely better than letting the gearbox decide for you
- The system will slip down through the gears automatically when braking and won’t let you shift too early
Brembo Braking System:
For 2022, the R model received significant brake upgrades:
- 339 mm vented front rotors with Brembo Aluminum 4-piston calipers
- 298 mm vented rear rotors with aluminum 1-piston calipers
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) standard
Variable Speed-Sensitive Electronic Power Steering 2.0:
The steering feels natural with 2.5 turns lock-to-lock, providing “amazingly immediate” turn-in .
Vehicle Hill Hold:
Standard Hill Hold Control detects uphill and downhill start situations, automatically holding the vehicle for roughly two seconds after releasing the brake pedal . (Note: Some reviewers note it may still roll back slightly on certain gradients) .
Electronic Stability Control & Traction Control:
Standard ESC and traction control systems provide an added layer of confidence in varying road conditions .
Vehicle Drive Modes:
Choose between two distinct driving modes:
- Slingshot Mode: More aggressive throttle response for maximum excitement (default)
- Comfort Mode: Changes how the automatic gearbox shifts—gears up earlier, acceleration is smoother
Peak Lateral Grip: 1.02g – The Slingshot’s chassis and suspension deliver impressive cornering capability.
