Introducing the latest Popemobile: a customized Mercedes-Benz G580 electric vehicle. This model moves beyond traditional gas emissions, much like a serene stroll through the Vatican gardens. Why choose an AMG One when you can have the sacred AMG Holy One?
- Roof Replacement: An open viewing deck is complemented by a removable hardtop.
- Accessibility Enhancements: Handlebars stretch across the rear, with a step below the tailgate for easy access.
The Holy One showcases a timeless Pearl White finish adorned with commemorative vinyls and Vatican City flags, echoing earlier Popemobiles like the Dacia Duster.
Inside, the vehicle features a red floor, without the traditional rear bench. It now includes a height-adjustable swivel chair, accompanied by two rear seats for esteemed visitors. Perfect for His Holiness to instruct on parade etiquette!
Let's not forget its impressive features: the all-wheel drive G580 delivers 579 bhp, 859 lb-ft of torque, a 0-62 mph sprint in just 4.7 seconds, and a top speed of 112 mph.
The Holy One honors nearly a century of Mercedes serving the Vatican, a tradition that began with the Nurburg 460 Pullman Saloon for Pope Pius XI in 1930, and continued with the W460 G-Wagon for Pope John Paul II—the first official 'Popemobile.'
Could an AMG One tailored for the Vatican become a reality in 2025?
Summary: The latest Holy One, a modified electric Mercedes-Benz G580, seamlessly blends rich history with modern technology for the Vatican's needs. With unique features and advanced performance, it honors the legacy of divine transportation.
