Take the wheel of the high-tech, eco-friendly Garia SuperSport golf vehicle, and everyone on the green will be green with envy. By Gianna Barone

Why do we love sports cars? Speed and style no doubt have much to do with it, but it’s that visceral urge to command a beautiful piece of machinery that really drives us to seek out the hottest wheels in which to hit the roads. Now, what if there were a way to achieve that same level of luxurious locomotion on the golf course?

Introducing the Garia SuperSport, just one of the Danish brand’s family of golf cars. (Yes, cars, never carts.) is stylish vehicle, made primarily of carbon ber, has everything any gear enthusiast could ask for in a souped-up, luxury automobile: a waterproof, chocolate-brown leather interior, hand-stitched lounge seats, a top-of-the-line infotainment system and a wi- connection. Of course, there are some additional bells and whistles speci c to your gol ng experience too: a touch-enabled digital scoreboard and even a built-in mini-fridge. e car runs in three liquid metal nishes—Diamond White, Selenite Gray and Black Carbon—each an elusive, extravagant choice for your ride that’s anything but par for the course when you’re riding alongside those typical club models. e grill’s golf ball-esque dimples may be the only feature that will remind you that you are, in fact, driving a golf cart. e SuperSport model was created, Garia says, with the style of a Mercedes-Benz in mind. e luxury automaker’s in uence is easy to recognize, as the SuperSport’s driving nesse and sleek concept are unmistakably Mercedes-like. It doesn’t zoom up and down a fairway as fast as a Benz-y would on an open highway (it tops out at 25 mph in the U.S.—it is a golf cart), but it’s street legal in the U.S. and Europe and can be driven wherever the avid golfer behind the wheel dares take it.

So, how much for your personal Benz-buggy hybrid to zip around on the golf green? e SuperSport starts at a cool $77,999 without shipping or labor fees. It’s a top-of-the-line automobile in its most practical form for any serious sportsman and a guaranteed hole-in-one.
