new Popemobile, which Benedict XVI will get to use on Saturday morning. The new model, a Mercedes Benz M-Class, was custom built for the Pope and have been a year in the making.
The peal colored vehicle is also a few inches shorter than the current models, making it much more easy to transport during the Pope's trips overseas. It also feature a new window display to give Benedict XVI a better view.
Keeping in line with more recent models, the new Popemobile also has fortified features such as bulletproof glass to keep the pontiff safe.
