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.) This stylish vehicle, made primarily of carbon fiber, has everything any gear enthusiast could ask for in a souped-up, luxury automobile: a waterproof, chocolatebrown leather interior, hand-stitched lounge seats, a top-of-the-line infotainment system and a Wi-Fi connection. Of course, there are some additional bells and whistles specific to your golfing experience too: a touchenabled digital scoreboard, ball and tee trays and even a builtin mini-fridge.

The car runs in three liquid metal finishes—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. The grill’s golf ball-esque dimples may be the only feature that will remind you that you are, in fact, driving a golf cart. The SuperSport model was created, Garia says, with the style of a Mercedes-Benz in mind. The luxury automaker’s influence is easy to recognize, as the SuperSport’s driving finesse and sleek concept are unmistakably Mercedes-like. It doesn’t zoom up and down a sprawling green 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? The SuperSport starts at a cool $77,999 without Luxury doesn’t end after you leave your vehicle, not shipping or labor fees. It’s a top-of-the-if you’re riding in the Garia SuperSport golf car. Zip around the greens in this machine, which sports line automobile in its most practical hand-stitched lounge seats, a top-flight infotainment system and a Wi-Fi connection, among other ameni- form for any serious sportsman, and a ties you didn’t realize you needed on the golf course. guaranteed hole-in-one.
