Now turnkey luxury for supercar...
It should come as little surprise that a supercar worthy of that name, would not want to scrimp on the luxury standards of its key, designed as a minima like jewellery. On the contrary! The small tri-colour Eng-i-Creation company has designed exceptional keys for manufacturers and drivers. A case in point is Apollo of Gumpert.
The key to performance
After ten long years of experience in the automobile sector, spent improving the passenger compartment safety, the creator of Eng-i-Creation has a right to be proud! It is no under-estimation, to say that at the latest 2009 Geneva International Motor Show, visitors were fighting their way to the Gumpert stand to see the Apollo monster that was just arrogantly the shining star of the automobile BBC Top Gear show, a step ahead of BugattiVeyron, Pagani Zonda and others i.e. Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. A welcomed opportunity for this small French company judiciously chosen by the German manufacturer to design the supercar key. And not just any key at that ! A real piece of jewellery freely combining silver, gold and precious woods and designed to meet problems connected with the narrow cockpit. And for a reason, in compliance with the F1 and despite fundamental laws of functionality, you simply have to remove the Apollo steering wheel in order to slide into the seat, up until now no other fine-tuned solution could be met using a classical key.
Plug and play
Do you want diamonds or emeralds ? Would you like to adapt colours and materials, integrate the series number or the owner’s initials ? As can be expected with the ultimate in personalization, all or almost all of that is possible with this key-jewellery. The cream of the crop. Models are elaborated using computer-assisted design tools,integrating constraints connected with the original system. Result: no change in the mechanical or electrical make-up is necessary. The key is definitely Plug and Play. The next step is to convince manufacturers of the justification of a luxurious and exclusive key that does justice to the exclusive image of supercars. That is the Eng-i-Creation challenge for 2010. On your mark, get set and let’s go for it...
