Is there a key hotter than the BMW i8’s in there? Head this way for some keenly-missed fobs



This is the BMW i8 key. It has a high-res LCD screen. It’ll tell you the car’s available range, how much charge is in the batteries, how much petrol’s in the tank, and allows you to pre-set the car’s temperature remotely. Which makes it cleverer than roughly 82 per cent of the Top Gear office.
Thing is, while it’s extremely clever and extremely cool, it’s not the only demonstration of a carmaker’s excellence when it comes to putting together a nifty set of keys. Here lies our top ten…

10: Chrysler Neon Glow key.

It couldn’t make up for the violent assault of rubbishness that was the Neon, but it had a key that GLOWED IN THE DARK. Which inevitably provided some comfort for bored owners waiting for the RAC to turn up.

9: VW Beetle/Microbus key.
As wonderfully simple as the cars it starts, the VW key also doubles as pleasing necklace when your Beetle/Microbus rots away to nothing.

8: VW PCP key.
The yin to the Bug key’s yang, this was part of VW’s unfortunately named PCP endeavour (building a people’s car for China), and like the i8’s, features a high-def touchscreen. It can also track the status of your ‘dub via satellite. Shame it’s vapourware.

7: 2004 Subaru STi key.
Hey, it looks like a motorsport-style kill switch! And it’s made out of titanium! It’s also RARE – the key design only lasted for a year before being phased out for something less awesome.

the Beema Key na die!

What would thieves steal? The car or the key?

6: Koenigsegg CCXR key.
It’s a massive sterling silver fob in the shape of the Swedish supercamaker’s logo, with a little rubber button on the back to enable the car’s alarm. A tad gauche, perhaps, and more than a little Indiana Jones. But Koenigseggs aren’t for shrinking violets.

5: Pagani Huayra
Horacio clearly wanted everyone at the yacht club to be sure what you’d rocked up in, so shaped the Huayra’s key like the car it starts. And incorporated a flash drive for your tunes.

4: Pre-1980’s Ford key.
One of our favourites thanks to its one-size-fits-all application, ready availability and secondary use as a screwdriver.

3: Aston Martin Jaeger LeCoultre key.
OK, so it’s a big, shouty Jaeger LeCoultre watch, but if you press the face glass it’ll open up your Aston Martin DB9 or DBS. Pretty nifty. And considerably less appalling than AM’s massive “emotional control unit” keys, which look like a cheap corporate trophy handed out for the “zaniest tie” or “tea drinker” award at the office Christmas party. Does cost £12,000 (minus taxes) mind…

2: Bugatti Veyron Topspeed Key.
Without this key, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport will only do a piffling 220mph. But if you put it in a slot behind the driver’s seat, it lowers the chassis, changes the angle of the rear spoiler, and closes the diffuser flaps, and allows the car to hit up to 268mph.

1: Porsche 917.
It doesn’t tell the time or incorporate precious metals or look like the car it starts, but it’s a wonderful example of Porsche’s obsession with weight reduction. More of this please, everyone.

Exotic cars wif exotic keys! But the screw driver key ain't exotic at all

This westerners won't kill us. If a person misplaces one of those keys only God knows how much we gonna use to programme one of those keys
