Luxury cart goes on sale for opulent, not to mention lazy, golf fans - PHOTOS

If you've had enough of trudging around the golf course while carrying your clubs, how about bombing about in this £18,000 Ferrari replica instead?

The golf buggy replica of a Ferrari will set you back almost £20,000 but is guaranteed to make fellow players see red with jealousy.

All the usual extras are available for the F5 vehicle, described by its maker as ‘more like a sports car than a golf cart’.

They include alloy wheels, a hard top and leather seats.

And its battery-powered motor can hit 32kph (20mph) and last for three rounds of golf.

‘No one really needs an Italian sports car but life is sure better when you have one,’ said John Pennington, whose Utah-based company, Pennwick, makes the carts.

‘It is the most exotic, desirable and simply awe-inspiring luxury custom golf cart around, with handling far superior to anything else.’

The F5 is inspired by the Enzo – a classic Ferrari that often changes hands for £1million.

And if a classic Italian sports car doesn’t appeal, a Bentley and Rolls-Royce are also available.
