amazing new R model weights, curb weight in the new auto tranny is 1654 lbs and 1640 in the new manual , both with the same 203 hp Prostar engine but wet weight stays the same at 1745 so to get the new autodrive tranny in they had to go to a lighter prostar engine and transmission

Two different horse power numbers for the new engine?
-
203 for the R and 178 for the SL

203hp is a good starting point. I bet it will be a while before they crack the ECU on that engine. I can't imagine them making it easy. I would definitely want to be sure that someone could program the ECU before I bought one.
-
WHAT AM I MISSING HERE THEY'RE CALLING THE SAME 2.0L PROSTAR ENGINE IN THE SL MODELS AT ONLY 178 HP but 203 in the R MODEL , HERE IS THE SL SPECS BELOW

Grand Touring listed as a 2019

rabtech , CAN YOU SEE THE ENGINE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SL AND THE R both n/a both same bore but sl only 178 hp ?

Complete guess..... is that the 203 hp version has a tune and a cold air kit and exhaust.

think it was just one page mistake , here are another front page they call these all the new 2020 models and here are the grand touring spec . 2.4 ecotech . the website keeps adding more info in the last few minutes

That is what I am thinking

I wonder if the website specs are accurate yet , they call both the R and Sl , with the high reving red line and new tuned exhaust

Red Pearl? Really? DAMN!

so just the base S model and the grand touring are now ecotech 2.4 while both the Sl and the new R are only available in Prostar 2.0 l ,
Sl in auto only , and R in auto or manual but the new prostar and new tranny
-
If you look at the base and GT they still have the “old style” headlights. My guess is they are just depleting inventory and are calling the left over 2019 a 2020 and gave them new colored plastics.

Fine print says 4 year warranty. Sure will help with sales if that's the basic warranty and not them saying AVAILABLE 4 years

OOOPPPPS. Just saw the finer print. Basic warranty is the 48 months. the additional 48 months is a promotional bonus good until Feb 15th and subject to a $50 deductible

One thing I have always liked about my slingshot was that the 2.4 has been around in one form or another for a long time. Not sure if I would like being the first in line for a brand new motor with no track record. Also like that with the 2.4 Parts are available from many sources other than Polaris where as with a new Polaris motor options will be very limited
