Details of the Slingshot X film remain guarded outside of a film teaser released on [URL="http://slingshotx.com/slingshot-x-video-teaser/"]SlingshotX.com[/URL]. “Fans can expect to be wowed with a film that will capture what the unique and exhilarating Slingshot roadster is capable of – especially with one of the most respected precision car drivers behind the wheel,” according to Polaris, which will release the film later this year.


"When Polaris Slingshot and Mad Media approached me about being a part of this project, I was intrigued to say the least," Foust said. "The second I laid my eyes on a Slingshot I knew it was going to be a unique machine to throw around. I'm stoked to show fans what this one-of-a-kind vehicle can do."
Foust is a versatile and multi-talented driver known for his car control and proven track record of podium placements, national championships and world records. In addition to his accolades on the racetrack, Foust translates his expertise on camera as host for History Channel's [I]Top Gear [/I]and performing stunts for various films, television shows and commercials.

He was one of the 3 wackos in the American version of Top Gear... That was a great show, I Think its off the air now?:(

I also enjoyed watching Top Gear and wish the show would make a comeback. You can bet Tanner will be a big showoff with a hopped up Slingshot! Driving such a trike is right up his alley!Dave- Red Patch Marine
