For those who live on Fisher Island, the private island community off Miami Beach, there’s no easier way to get around than by golf car. Now, buyers of the ultra-luxury condominium Palazzo del Sol are receiving a pertinent gift with purchase: a custom-designed golf car valued at $20,000. “Golf cars are the preferred method of transportation on Fisher Island and our buyers are thrilled when we hand them the keys,” said Heinrich von Hanau, the developer of Palazzo del Sol, in a statement. (Note: Golf “carts” usually go less than 25 MPH and golf “cars” can go faster and be taken on roads.)

The number on each car corresponds with one of the development’s 43 waterfront residences, which range in price from $6.5 million to $35 million. Painted a metallic grey, the street-legal cars seat up to four and feature chrome rims, heated windshields and a golf ball-and-tee holder mounted on the dashboard. There’s even a built-in refrigerator to keep drinks cool in the Miami heat. The cars take seven hours to fully charge and reach a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour.
Palazzo del Sol is located on the elite Fisher Island, one of the country's wealthiest zip codes.
