And relax... the two-seater vehicle doubles up as a sunbed, to ensure owners always get a spot on the beach

Unveiled in Brighton in front of holidaymakers, the Ultimate Deck Chair was designed by artist Solomon Rogers to provide sun-seekers with an unrivalled beach-based experience.

Along with GPS, the four-wheel buggy is bright orange, with traditional deckchair-style blue and white striped seats.

The front of the motor-powered deckchair, which was commissioned and built by car hire comparison site Holiday Autos, can also be used to sunbath on – once the car is stationary, of course.

It features space for two and offers the means to find the perfect place on the sand before anyone else.

The on-board parasol is rigged to a GPS tracker that follows the movement of the sun in relation to the deckchair's position on the beach - providing the perfect level of shade to the users. 

Deployable wind breaks keep the breeze at bay and provide a sense of privacy, whilst retractable towels ensure everything is kept dry and sand free.

The mobile deckchair also features a stereo and a GPS parasol that moves with the sun to keep the driver in constant shade

Sun-cream, drinks and book holders provide the user with everything at arm's length, where as a stereo system, refrigerated slushy machine and built-in sandpit feature all the trappings of the seaside wherever the location.

Rogers, the man behind the design said: 'I [wanted] to make the holiday experience better than ever before and we wanted beachgoers to enjoy a day at the seaside without having to worry about overcrowding, sand getting everywhere and forgetting the sun cream.'
