[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Due to the popular 'big bank account' reputation of Mercedes, the German brand thought it might be interesting to have a crack at designing a golf cart aimed at frequent 18th hole commuters - and of course those who just want to travel the course in a little style.[/background][/font]
[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Mercedes urged its fans to send in their own designs and ideas - eventually landing on this Renault Twizy-esque design above and the nametag 'Vision'.[/background][/font][/color]
[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)][color=#0000ff]Although it is a compact two seater, the [/color][url="http://www.motortorque.com/mercedes-benz-car-reviews.aspx"][color=#0000ff]Mercedes[/color][/url][color=#0000ff] vibe is clearly visible in the new Vision concept design, with a stretched front-end that could be likened to a Tron-inspired Mercedes SLK.[/color][/background][/font]
[color=#0000ff][font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]But this new golf concept isn't all just about the looks. It features a plethora of nifty features that are completely appropriate for a round of golf.[/background][/font]
[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]The cart itself is powered by solar panels on the roof, delivering efficient electric power. The cart can also be plugged in and charged just like a conventional electric car. Instead of a steering wheel, the cart is driven via a joystick, allowing either passenger to quickly take control.[/background][/font]

[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Inside is where it gets really interesting. Firstly, there is a windscreen display that gives you information on scores, course layout and weather forecast.[/background][/font]
[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]For those who are prone to slicing the ball over to another hole, the golf cart even features a 'fore' button, capable of alerting other golfers of your mishap.[/background][/font]
[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]The Vision golf cart even manages to throw in some luxurious Mercedes etiquette, with a neck warming 'scarf' system, a built-in refrigerator for beverages and a rotatable iPad/iPhone docking station.[/background][/font]
[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)]The proverbial cherry on top is its deployable lightning rod that rises up from the roof, protecting rainy day golfers from potential lightning strikes.[/background][/font][/color]
[font=Verdana][background=rgb(0, 0, 0)][color=#0000ff]The Vision golf cart is still just a sketch, but who knows. With Toyota teasing models like the i-ROAD and two-wheel [/color][url="http://www.motortorque.com/car-news/toyota-to-spread-its-winglets-22881.aspx"][color=#0000ff]Winglet 'mobility robot'[/color][/url][color=#0000ff], you never know what wacky ideas are going to roll off the production-line.[/color][/background][/font][/size]
