You may be asking yourself: do I really need a golf cart that costs more than most cars? The answer is no, but don't you feel better knowing that you live in a world that has a golf cart priced at a cool $52,000?

Designed exclusively for the world’s greatest luxury show Top Marques Monaco 2010, The Garia Soleil de Minuit is the most expensive golf car ever made by a manufacturer.

Made at the same factory as the Porsche Cayman and the Porsche Boxster, the Garia is the ultimate European luxury golf cart.

The Garia Edition Soleil de Minuit features a carbon roof, one-of-a-kind custom paint tailored to enhance all design features on The Garia, two-colored hand-stitched luxury seats, alcantara roof lining and numerous hand-made details to create a truly unique luxury golf car.

The base price for a Garia starts at $17,499 (excl. delivery and taxes). Luxury upgrades include a built-in refrigerator and an exclusive personalization program where you can choose to have The Garia painted in your favorite color or matched to your other cars. Add up all the luxury upgrades and you're looking at over $50,000.

The Garia features a double wishbone front suspension similar to those found in sports cars and inspired by Formula 1. The drive train is built by an Italian company that also produces Ducati gearboxes, and the aluminum profiles in the frame are made by the same company that supplies aluminum profiles to Aston Martin, Jaguar and Volvo.

It actually makes me wonder

It actually makes me wonder who pays for these things? There's nothing wrong with having money but what value would you get from it? It still drives around at sub 30 miles per hour.
