Garia hits the streets
The Garia luxury golf car, which is manufactured in the same factory that builds the Porsche Boxster and Cayman, is now available as a street-legal LSV (low speed vehicle). Garia says the front suspension of its golf car is Formula 1 inspired, while its aluminium profiles are made by the same company that supplies Aston Martin and Jaguar. The Garia LSV is fitted with seatbelts, side mirrors and hydraulic breaks, and is legal on roads with a speed limit of 35 mph.
