The Slingshot features a mid-mounted, 2.2L DOHC inline-four engine, with twin cams, 16 valves, and an intercooled turbocharger.

It has a light and rigid carbon fiber body and chassis, with adjustable four-wheel independent suspension.

Flexible, impact-absorbing fenders are positioned right above the wheels to provide aerodynamic styling.
