New popemobile a Ferrari
Ferrari president Luca Montezemolo said today the Italian Formula One team would build a special car for Pope John Paul II to mark his 26 years as pontiff.

"We will make a Ferrari Formula One car especially for the pope," Mr Montezemolo told reporters on a visit to the Vatican.

However, Mr Montezemolo drew the line at changing the colour of the car from its customary red to a different shade that the pontiff might prefer.

"The Pope would not be best pleased to see a Ferrari that wasn't a Ferrari," he remarked.

Well, it'll be faster than his other one.

1. This gave me a good laugh
picturing the pope in his cassock, sitting behind the wheel of a Ferrari, screaming down the highway at 120 mph...
