Dreams really can come true. That’s the message we get from ever-interesting tuner Mansory, which took a break from modding Rolls-Royces, Mercedes-Benzes, and Lotuses to apply its signature outlandish artistic touch to a golf cart. The outfit then putted that cart (which really isn’t new, but it’s new to us) to the 2015 Geneva auto show where it immediately won us over with its chutzpah. Is it absurd? Absolutely. Do we want one? Guess.
With its acres of carbon fiber and chrome, this is no ordinary golf cart. It’s based on a Garia luxury golf cart—yep, that’s a thing—and its Mansory transformation earns it the new name “Garia Mansory Currus.” We take that to mean it’s sort of like a misspelled Chrysler Cirrus, only it lacks a roof, engine, and a whiff of tragedy.
The seats are quilted like the best chairs from Crewe, the cup holders and the pair of golf bag holders on the rear deck are rendered in carbon-fiber (lightweight, bro!), the dashboard is covered in padded leather, and it rides on sweet, black-painted 12-inch rims. And that’s just the functional stuff; don’t miss the carbon-fiber vents on the cart’s “hood.” Never mind that whatever powers this thing is situated underneath the seats—it wouldn’t be a Mansory without a few pseudo intakes feeding air to nothing.
Mansory didn’t just focus on looks, however—it also fitted a vaguely described speed package of some sort that juices the electric cart to enable velocities of up to 37 mph and runtime of up to an hour. Now we’re cooking with gas, er, electrons! As Mansory and its golf-cart partner Garia put it, the Currus is “the ultimate street-legal toy that just happens to be excellent for golf as well.”
Among the first things we asked Mansory’s people after we stumbled across this gem was how much it cost. We were told pricing isn’t available, but that’s probaby because only seven were slated to be built (and likely all have been spoken for). We’re assuming each one is head-detonatingly expensive. If this roadster version isn’t your style, Mansory already offered a hardtop version, you know, for those days where you’re not feeling a round of golf, but you do want to arrive like a baller in a super-expensive golf cart.
