    How does that work? If you are driving and want to go faster you put the other key in to allow you to get to the top speed? Is there is a second key hole or do you have to stop and switch keys for a high speed run?

    I know that you have to lower the wing to hit top speed but that uses the ignition key according to JC's review and the top gear vid.

    They key goes into a hole on the side somewhere. The car has to be off obviously. When you turn the car with the 2nd key, it puts something on the gauges 'top speed run' or something. Then it goes and does a full inspection of itself, disables all the limiters, and preps itself for top speed. It lets you know when its ready. Then you floor it. If you step on the breaks at any point, it goes back to 'normal'(all the limiters and whatnot are back in effect).

    I think there oughta be a poll out of the keys pictured here. I love the 2nd key for the Bugatti, personally. The CGT key is cool....I've personally used one, although I didn't get to drive the car. Bentley keys are heavy and solid.

    Does your NSX key look like an ordinary Acura key? I have seen them at the dealership and that is my recolection...although I wasn't looking real hard at the key admitedly.

    My favorite is the folding key issued to the Audi S4 ( or other Audis ? ). Dont have a pic or know how to get one, sorry.

    Yes. That's the "top speed mode" key.

    Really? I don't like the key so much.

    I have one in my pocket, but I don't have a camera on me.

    Very surprised to see the F1 key is a total POS!! Who did the engraving, some blind man?
    I thought Gordon Murray is a perfectionist.

    Murcie,
    The workmanship on this thing really does suck:).... looks like something that you would pick up at Sears. Wonder what one of those costs, and what the markup is?

    I have no clue what ordianary Acura keys look like. Mine just has a black tip with a Acura "A" logo, it's a rather long key though. Its nothing special, but I like it :)

    Anyone else on the 2 different Porsche CGT keys??
