Polaris: Richard Rawlings Drops Custom Slingshot | SEMA
Gas Monkey, That Funky Monkey…
I’m used to seeing the Polaris Slingshot on the road but Richard Rawlings gave his Gas Monkey Garage version a dirt/urban assault vibe. After much anticipation and weeks of showcasing teasers and behind-the-scenes videos, they revealed the one-of-a-kind custom Polaris Slingshot at SEMA in Las Vegas.
“Half the fun in owning a Slingshot is customizing it and making it your own,” said Rawlings. “For us at Gas Monkey Garage, we put a build plan together that will allow us to get after it and have some fun. Because that’s what Slingshot is all about – personalization through customization.”
Richard also took it higher, with big ol’ meaty Nitto Trail Grapplers, a roll-cage with roof rack, and of course excursion-style roof lights. The Gas Monkey urban assault Slingshot fully capturings Rawlings’ outgoing, adventurous personality.
Starting at $19,999, the 2021 Slingshot lineup features four models – each available in a manual or AutoDrive transmission. With an open-air cockpit and side-by-side seating, the three-wheel Slingshot turns weekend getaways into unforgettable experiences. Its head-turning style demands attention at every streetlight, while a complete line of accessories, including added storage, color painted accents and more, allow drivers to personalize their ride straight from the factory.
