Sam Hsieh: 2015 Polaris Slingshot

Sam Hsieh had his start in the automotive industry in high school. He worked on cars which helped put him through college and kept him sane in Medical school.

Hsieh purchased a 2015 Polaris Slingshot in 2018 and thought it was the coolest looking motorcycle/vehicle ever. "You rarely see something like this on the road," mentions Hsieh, "and I wanted it to look like a stealth jet fighter." The Slingshot had a turbo installed in it by Alpha Powersport, which doesn't exist anymore unfortunately.

"The motivation to imagine, the opportunity to create and for everything to come together to life is my motivation.
