From zooming on the roads to zipping on the golf course, you can now go Mercedes all the way. Yes, the German luxury automaker has unveiled the ultimate Mercedes-Benz Style Edition Garia Golf Car, which “translates the Mercedes-Benz ideal of ‘sensual purity’ to an electric golf cart.” While Mercedes designed the four horsepower carts, they were built by the Danish golf cart manufacturer Garia.Only two concept carts have been made but if there are enough potential buyers the Mercedes-Benz Style cart could go into full production. With a top speed of 19 miles an hour, the luxury golf car has all the equipment — turn signals, brake lights, etc. — needed for low-speed use on roads, where allowed, as well on the links. Its amenities include a refrigerator under the bench seat, and a storage tray under the dashboard for golf balls. There are also storage spaces for glasses and bottles. There’s a touch screen display that shows driving information, such as speed. But it can also show, for instance, a map of the course or weather information. What really sets this golf cart apart, though, are the materials used to make it. The roof is made from expensive carbon fiber and there’s even a carbon fiber air diffuser on the back, a humorous reference to performance cars that use such aerodynamic aids. The interior features wood, high-quality leather and brushed metal. Now that’s Merc for you!
