Hyundai treated us to an unlikely modified version of its i10 city car in on April Fools Day 2009.

The premise behind the i10 Special Project Popemobile was that the the head of the catholic church wanted to get around in something more environmentally-friendly than the usual armour plated SUVs.

Hyundai’s press release claimed, “all leather from the seat facings was replaced with parts of tapestry woven by monks from the Indian city of Utta Bullacs”.
