Default Colour-matched key!

Pretty neat if you get a bright colour.

Is that the key? Finally a dedicated unlock/lock button! It's a bit big though.

It's friggen huge. Had a Panamera loaner last week with the same key. Twice the size of my five year old MB 'fob', with no added functionality.

Dig the case, though. Was thinking about getting one - I think all of my keys would fit in it.

Too big? Really? Compared to a standard 911 key it doesn't seem unusually big to me.......

Yes. It think it is unnecessarily large and bulky.

If you like it, that's great.

the key is nice, (same as panamera and cayenne)

the paint to match car is very interesting but $335 per key just seemed a little extravagant for me for some painted sides...

the only downside is attaching it to a key ring and having it sit flat in your pocket.

for my cayenne key before i sold the vehicle, i finally ended up going to the middle eastern necklace place in the mall and having them make me a 4" chain for it... that way with my house key and little fob it would sit flat in pocket, otherwise the porsche key sits flat, the ring goes opposite way and then other key is sticking you right in the leg/nuts/so forth.

maybe if the "slot" at the end was longer like the previous keys it could rotate a little more against the ring in pocket?

im not sure what i will do with my new key... also the key doesnt lend itself to having other car keys on the same chain.. i have to put my lotus keys in the porsche so i always carry porsche keys and if/when i need the other i grab from porsche.


i like the integrated key/clicker but maybe a slightly different design would be ideal.... im sure theirs tons of empty space inside?

If you get a black car then the paint match key is a no cost option :-))

I carry my cayenne key separate from the key chain. Solves the lay flat problem and makes life easier with valets, etc. dave

Ditto. I hate having other stuff swinging from the key when it's in the ignition anyway.
