It may not be a hovercraft, but Mercedes-Benz's cool new Vision Golf Cart could challenge Bubba Watson's BW1 as the golf cart of the future.

The proposal for this luxurious car was presented last week at the Open Championship. It was the winner of a design contest which included hundreds of ideas submitted by people across the globe.

While the idea of this vehicle already has golfers salivating, it is unclear if Mercedes actually has any plans to turn this vision into a reality. This is simply what a golf cart could look like if it was built by the popular German company.

Below are some images of the proposed golf cart:

The cart's design chief, Gorden Wagener, said the design fits in well with Mercedes' "Sensual-Purity" design philosophy.
