Slingshot Sports Car Trip
what is the slingshot car and trip?
The slingshot is an exceptional three-wheeled sports car, reminiscent of a batmobile with its striking design. It boasts impressive acceleration, manual transmission, and is an exhilarating drive. There are five different tours available, and I chose Tour 5, which lasts 4 to 5 hours and costs 130 euros for two people.
The experience.
The journey commenced in Peguera, Calvia. We gathered at the office situated along the high street, where we received an introduction to the vehicle and a thorough demonstration on its operation and driving techniques. After this instructional session, we were ready to embark on our adventure.
Four slingshots and a motorcycle trike led the way as we set off along the road, passing Santa Ponsa, Magaluf, and Portals on our journey to Palma. We took in the sights, including the stunning cathedral, before merging onto the Soller road. Along the route, we admired the breathtaking scenery, featuring the iconic orange and lemon trees. We paused for a refreshing drink and captured a group photo before continuing through the Soller mountain tunnels, riding together in a convoy of slingshots.
In Soller, our journey took us through the stunning mountains, past the picturesque villages of Deia. We paused briefly for coffee and enjoyed another photo opportunity at Sa Foradada, soaking in its breathtaking vistas. Continuing onwards past Valldemossa, we headed towards Calvia, where we experienced a scenic drive around Cala Fornells, admiring the enchanting coves along the way. Our excursion concluded back at the shop.
In summary, this was an excursion I truly enjoyed. The slingshot vehicle offered impressive acceleration and attracted plenty of curious gazes as we drove. With its open-top design, the feeling of the wind through my hair was exhilarating. I would definitely recommend this experience.
