Clénet was a manufacturer of automobiles with old retro styling, mixed with modern technology. Each limited-production model was conceived, designed, and produced by a small team of men and women in Santa Barbara County, California, in the 1970s and 1980s. The automobile's distinctive styling was based on the high-end automobiles of the 1930s. Despite their retro looks, Clénets used modern drive trains and suspension systems.

The Polaris Slingshot is a three-wheeled motor vehicle. It was introduced in 2014 as a 2015 model.
The Slingshot is manufactured by Polaris Industries, who claim "It's a three-wheeled motorcycle!" It has a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, side-by-side bucket seats, and does not lean. Three-point seat belts are fitted, however it has no airbags or crumple zone, and driver and passenger must wear motorcycle helmets in certain jurisdictions. It has no roof, doors, or side windows. A small windshield is an optional extra on the base model, and fitted as standard on the SL model. Steering wheel, gear stick, and brake, clutch, and throttle pedals have a conventional automobile layout.
Depending on which state the Slingshot is registered in, it will either be registered as a motorcycle, or as an auto-cycle. Hawaii and Maryland are the only states that are still legislating on vehicle classification. Check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles for classification. www.polaris.com/en-us/slingshot/license-requirements
The Slingshot weighs 1,743 pounds (791 kg) and is powered by a 2.4 liter inline four engine derived from the GM Ecotec. This engine was formerly used by GM in the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky sports cars.
