# Unboxing the Key To the $3.4M Koenigsegg Jesko Is an Exquisite Experience

*\<em\>Koenigsegg\</em\>*

At roughly $3.4 million, the [Koenigsegg](<https://www.thedrive.com/category/koenigsegg-news>) [Jesko](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/26777/koenigsegg-jesko-a-swedish-megacar-with-1600-hp-seven-clutches-and-300-mph-top-speed>) hypercar is one of the most expensive and exclusive vehicles money can buy, and it only makes sense that its key is just as interesting. It's just a fob, sure, but it comes packaged like a crown jewel. In a video posted to [Instagram](<https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cs6mA3IohTb/>), Koenigsegg recently showed off just how special this key is.

The outermost packaging of the fob is a carbon fiber tube with machined aluminum ends. It looks like the aluminum has been laser engraved with both the Koenigsegg logo and the signature of the company's founder, [Christian Von Koenigsegg](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/christian-von-koenigsegg-says-the-c8-chevy-corvette-is-mind-blowing>). Once opened, an intricately machined and finished aluminum fob holder opens to reveal the key itself.

The white-gloved presenter goes as far as to crack open the leather and carbon fiber fob itself, which is held together with three small screws. Inside, a black PCB with several small switches on its front face and circuitry on its back face is revealed. As with many other keys, it's all powered by a small watch battery. Unlike other keys, though, this one can receive updates [over the air](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/26679/why-havent-over-the-air-updates-taken-over-the-auto-industry>), which means it has some degree of connectivity to the internet either directly or indirectly.

The car this key unlocks is more impressive than this fob's packaging, though. The E85-powered [Jesko](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36723/behold-the-1600-hp-koenigsegg-jeskos-absolutely-glorious-exhaust-sound>) is capable of producing 1,600 horsepower from its 5.0-liter V8 as well as 1,400 kg (3,086 pounds) of downforce. It sends its power to the wheels through a nine-speed multi-clutch transmission, which enables lightning-fast shifts and seamless power delivery. Just 125 Jeskos will be built by the Swedish company.
