As real as anything: the zero-emission Hummer (yes, it's a golf cart)
Say what you want about the Hummer, the design sure as hell is iconic. Whether in crazy scooter, styrofoam or biofuel concept form, Hummer knows how to attract attention. We've seen tiny Hummer-like vehicles before, but that doesn't mean we don't want to see more - especially when they're zero emission.
Meet the Zero Emission Hummer. Yeah, it's a little bit smaller than your average Hummer, but hey, it's an EV and it's apparently officially licensed from GM. Actually, this is really just a golf cart dressed up to look like a Hummer. With a chrome grill and Hummer wheels (smaller than normal, naturally), this thing has the look down. Powered by lead acid Trojan T-875 batteries and featuring cup holders, this is the perfect toy for people with very little imagination. Word of caution: Don't go off-roading too far from the green. Thanks to Jamie for the tip!

I don't golf so I don't know, but it doesn't look like it'd be able to carry your clubs very well.

Phew! Finally, a golf cart with the off-road cojones to handle the sand traps, water hazards and out-of-bounds forest a duffer is likely to encounter. Next, it needs real full-time 4wd. Now that would be a golf cart you could be proud to drive, excepting that you spent your money on a golf cart designed to look like an unreliable, way-too-big, off road SUV.
And kt, I don't think it's designed to carry clubs. I have a feeling I'd be more likely to see this at a Florida retirement home than at a golf course.

You can rent these in Miami Beach and drive them around on the roads like a regular car. They have the best proportions of all the car-like golf carts that I have seen.
