Racing legend Emmerson Fittipaldi

January 25, 2017

Emerson Fittipaldi, the racing legend who has won Indy 500 and Formula One championships is now a brand ambassador for Garia, the Scandinavian golf car brand that has more in common with a luxury car than a typical golf cart.

Garia offers luxury details such as a refrigerator, sport seats, and dual-wishbone suspension, which makes for superior handling and a smooth ride. Fittipaldi says of his Garia, “With everything I know about racing, everything I know about cars, you realize there is big heritage from the automotive industry in a Garia. The grip, the design of the steering wheel, the details on the dashboard, the seats, the comfort. It feels like a car, not a golf cart. And that’s what makes all the difference.”

Anders Lynge, Co-Founder of Garia says, “At Garia we have always taken pride in the quality of our cars. We look to the best luxury cars when designing Garia products, and that is what makes a Garia, a Garia”.

Jakob Holstein, Garia CEO, says “We are honored to have such an esteemed member of the racing community such as Emerson Fittipaldi onboard with Garia. It’s a great partnership as we share the same passion for cars and motor racing.”

Fittipaldi resides in Key Biscayne, Florida an area known for its large golf cart population. “The Garia is perfect for Key Biscayne. I can take it everywhere, even to go shopping. Every family here has a golf cart as a car to use in the community, and I feel safer in the Garia than any other golf car.” 

Emerson Fittipaldi drives the 6-seater Garia Courtesy, in a Sapphire blue metallic finish, complete with refrigerator and Oak sport seats. 

Garia will be launching an online shop (shop.garia.com) which offers their complete lineup of cars available for purchase, including a 6-seater Courtesy model, similar to Fittipaldi’s.
