Would be epic to see him in a special Individual Imola cardinal red 1 M with white interior and red piping, drifting for a couple of laps around St. Peter's Square in a cordoned off area at Vatican City, then coming to a stop and lighting up the rears giving off white smoke announcing a new Pope has been chosen.

A new tradition is born!

Former Pope JP II got the ultimate Ferrari Enzo as I recall.

Pope Benedict XVI's last car he owned was a '99 VW Golf. (I think it was a 1.6 gas model too) It sold on ebay.de for pricey sum of 188,938 EURO's!!!

Holy [censored]!

I remember that car being sold. 189k euros. That's a lot of money for some Fahrvergnügen.

I don't know if it is a good thing or bad but I can totally imagine it as you pictured so eloquently, thanks big time for that image

Around the St. Peter's Square, yes! I have been there last July by the way. The real reason why Bernini designed it like that must be it was a very early Nascar track prototype!

If a one-off for a special occasion or perk?
Somebody at BMW has a Techno Violet 1M. And that really suits the car.

Scott, you were not supposed to disclose any embargoed info re the secret 2013 1M CSL limited production run. Got to wait till April 1, 2013 to surprise the BMW fanbase.

We were in Rome two years ago, we left our car in Siena and went by minibus. A pity the Pope wasn't home when I knocked LOL. My wife is more catholic than the Pope himself almost (Colombian you know it LOL) totally overwhelmed by the 'greatness' of all....
