Holy Father Pope Francis was presented with the keys to a brand new Lamborghini Huracan by officials from the luxury car maker. His Holiness Pope Francis blessed the car and signed the hood after receiving it in front of his Casa Santa Marta residence. The special edition car will be auctioned off by Sotheby’s in London and the proceeds will be given to four charities in Pope Francis’s name.
As reported by news.va, a statement from the Holy See Press Office said, “Some of the proceeds will go to the papal charity “Aid to the Church in Need” towards rebuilding homes, churches and public buildings in Iraq’s Nineveh Plains.” It also stated that “These funds will help Christians who had taken refuge in Iraqi Kurdistan to finally return to their roots and recover their dignity.”
Sporting the papal colors- white with yellow-gold detailing- the Lamborghini Hurracan’s base price usually starts at 183,000 euros but the specially-made papal car is expected to bring far more at auction.
