The 2023 Polaris Slingshot Roush Edition takes the Slingshot R and introduces performance, functionality, and appearance upgrades. Roush Performance is an automotive company best known for its performance-oriented modified Ford vehicles, including the new 2023 Roush F-150 truck. Let’s look at how Roush Performance and the Polaris Slingshot R get along.
- The 2023 Polaris Slingshot Roush Edition has a Brembo braking system. Four-piston Brembo calipers are called on to grasp Brembo front brake rotors. The fixed calipers work on slotted discs that are 14 percent larger than the standard Slingshot R discs.
- The foot controls are enhanced by Sparco Pedal Covers. Sparco’s billet aluminum covers for the brake, clutch, and accelerator pedals improve traction, giving the driver a better feel of the foot controls. The accelerator pedal is shorter, with the brake and clutch pedals both shorter and wider.
- The 2023 Polaris Slingshot Rouse Edition is available with two transmission options. You can get a manual transmission with a Roush-branded shifter, or the AutoDrive transmission with special paddle shifters. The paddle shifters are made of a composite material for superior feedback when changing gears.
- There’s a Slingshot Excursion Top on the Rouse Edition. The soft top provides shade on sunny days and protection when the rain comes. It also gives the Rouse Edition a premium look. The Excursion Top can be installed or removed without tools.
- You have undoubtedly noticed the Roush branding, as well as the special-edition paint and graphics. The trim is Racetrack Red with blacked-out badging, and the steering wheel is color-accented. The glovebox has a Roush Badge, which goes nicely with the Roush seat cover design and instrument cluster.
- The 2023 Polaris Slingshot Rouse Edition will run you $37,349 with a manual transmission. If you prefer the AutoDrive transmission, be prepared to part with another $2,150. There’s a $300 surcharge in California. Dealers will have this high-end Slingshot R on showroom floors in the Spring.
