The New Hot Ride Goes from Fairway to Parkway in Style

This is not your grandfathers golf cart...it's made in the same factory as Porsches!

Even Tiger Woods might be able to use this sexy sleek cart to troll, we mean stroll. Although this might not exactly be the best time to lure him into buying what is touted to be the ” the World’s Most Exclusive Golf Cart”. Valmet Automotive has built the golf cart ‘Garia’ designed by Danish designer Anders Lyngewith and claim that it is “built to the highest standards of the automotive industry.” It has a double-wishbone front suspension, a drivetrain which has been created by the same company which makes gearboxes for Ducati and aluminum stampings which are from the company supplying to the likes of Aston Martin, Jaguar and Volvo. The interior of this comfy-cart has a built-in refrigerator and also has a couple of cup-holders to hold your drink while you take your next shot, golf shot that is.

The Garia 2+2"The Garia is essentially a very versatile vehicle that can be used for local transportation, golfing and daily errands. With the Garia 2+2 it becomes a vehicle that you can use with your family and friends", says Mr. Anders Lynge, designer of the Garia. "It is also a great option as a utility vehicle for hotels and resorts".

You now can find Golf carts like the Garia 2+2 moving from the fairways to the luxury real estaate and parkways as the environmentally aware mode of transport among both the city and suburban crowds, with short jaunts to your favorite coffee shop or neighborhood school being as green as they are luxurious. The street-legal, Danish- designed Garia LSV — which comes in 768 combinations of colors, styles and upgrades — as the Porsche of golf carts. No, really. It’s built in the same factory as the Boxster and the Cayman, and it has the blue-blood features to prove it.

It may be classified as an LSV (low-speed vehicle), but don’t let that fool you. It zips along at a top speed of 25 mph and boasts an advanced Formula 1–inspired front suspension for nimble handling — a necessity when dodging slow-paced dog walkers. From $17,500; www.garia.com.
