Tanner Foust is also the host of Top Gear US. This collaboration was made for them to build vehicle that has never been seen before.
This custom Slingshot, as mentioned before, was built specially for the Daytona -- Bike week. This Slingshot is one of a kind! The stock 2.4 L GM engine was upgraded by the internals being replaced. In its place, a custom turbocharger was placed. The result is a 400HP Slingshot!

Slingstreet and SlingshotX placed a tuned four speed trans which is automatic. It has paddle shifters (manuals), a tuned Q A1 suspension!
