There is a traditional Audi key hidden in the glove compartment. Because there is no visible plastic in the interior, and especially with something as banal as a standard key, they had to find another solution.

I wonder if you can operate that with the key fob. I guess I need to read the manual after all.

I thought the upholstered Lotus steeringwheel did not contain an airbag.
It was chosen because the propellor steeringwheel did not meet safetyregulations in combination with the three point seatbelts.

It looks fantastic

Actually, I only have one suitcase and only one key-fob (Remember, it's not new, it's the US press car, so some parts have mysteriously gone missing). Once I have the missing pieces, the car is complete.

That is outstanding! I have the wheel on the way but since I decided not to track this one I opted out for the four point. I caution every Spyker owner to sit in a car with the four point before you do it. It is a safer ride but it does come at a cost.

I LOVE how that looks guys. great work.

The Louis Vuitton luggage is a $25K option. I settle for the standard set of two color coded suitcases.
