Does a car key justify a price tag that exceeds the value of some supercars? When that key unlocks a Bugatti Chiron, showcased at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, perhaps the staggering 500,000-euro (approximately $554,483) cost becomes a little more understandable. Join Shmee as he handles this incredibly expensive fob and explores the special Chiron in a recent video.
This jewel-encrusted key is the brainchild of Awain, a company specializing in ludicrously expensive car keys. The model Shmee examines with the Bugatti is their top-tier Phantom version. To warrant the six-figure price, Awain adorns this Bugatti Key Fob with 34.5 carats of diamonds, 175 grams of 18-carat gold, and other carefully selected precious gemstones. The central part of this opulent key is finished in fine leather.
Luxury Car Keys: More Than Just Functionality
Earlier in his video, Shmee offers a glimpse of the “more affordable” Quantum key fob from Awain, priced at a mere 49,000 euros (around $54,320). While still extravagant, the Quantum version maintains 175 grams of gold but reduces the diamond weight to 3.6 carats, offering a slightly less extreme entry into the world of ultra-luxury car keys.
After carefully removing the Awain Phantom key from its secure case, Shmee handles the Bugatti key fob with utmost care. He delicately holds it while unlocking the Chiron, emphasizing the precious nature of the accessory. Beyond its stunning appearance and exorbitant price, the key functions just like a standard car key, operating the door locks and releasing the front storage compartment.
Beyond the Bugatti and its remarkable key, Shmee’s video also features a brief tour of the Car Vault showroom in Dubai. This incredible collection showcases a fleet of supercars filling every available space, with a notable abundance of Ferraris, creating a true haven for automotive enthusiasts.
