Mercedes-Benz Electric Popemobile
Pope Francis has a new ride, and it's environmentally friendly to boot. Mercedes-Benz delivered the latest Popemobile to the Supreme Pontiff, an all-electric, highly modified G-Class SUV. In over 90 years of supplying the Vatican with autos, this is the first electric vehicle from Mercedes. The open-back SUV is built to strict requirements, with a height adjustable, swiveling rear seat with a unique hardtop that provides visibility and protection. Mercedes delivered its first Popemobile to Pope John Paul II, a 230 G, in 1987.
