Ferdinand Porsche Ferdinand Porsche (3 September 1875 – 30 January 1951) was an automotive engineer and founder of the Porsche car company. He is best known for creating the first gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle (Lohner-Porsche), the Volkswagen Beetle, the Mercedes-Benz SS/SSK, several other important developments and Porsche automobiles. In addition, Porsche designed the 1923 Benz Tropfenwagen, which was the first racing car with a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.
Popemobile A popemobile (Italian: "Papamobile" ] ) (from pope + automobile) is a specially designed motor vehicle used by the Catholic Pope during outdoor public appearances. It is usually considered as the heir of the antiquated "sedia gestatoria". The popemobile was designed to allow the pope to be more visible when greeting large crowds. There have been many different designs for popemobiles since Pope Paul VI first used a modified Lincoln Continental to greet crowds in New York City, in 1965. Some popemobiles are open air, while others have bulletproof glass walls to enclose the pope (deemed necessary after the 1981 Ali Ağca assassination attempt). Some allow the pope to sit while others are designed to accommodate the pope standing. The variety of popemobiles allows the Vatican to select an appropriate one for each usage depending upon the level of security needed, distance, speed of travel, and the pope's preferences.
