When this man from Oregon, US, unboxed a practically-impossible-to-get $5 million Bugatti Divo – receiving the key was almost as luxurious and exclusive of an experience.
The key was presented in a navy carbon-fiber encased crate sitting within a larger, branded, black case.
It’s proof – if it were needed – of the European carmaker’s commitment to craftsmanship.
Let’s unlock what it’s like to get your hands on one of the most coveted keys in the world.

The Bugatti Divo key
“Nobody does it quite like Bugatti,” TheStradman exclaims as he opens the satisfyingly hefty first box.
Delivered with the same attention to detail as the ‘Lady Bug’ itself, next he lifts the lid of the navy and red carbon-fiber encased crate that mirrors the finish on the car and aluminum and carbon fiber key.
“That is how you get a key in style, right there,” he enthuses of the key that’s a luxury accessory in addition to a functional item.
There’s even a secondary valet key, designed for limited functionality, access, and basic operation when given to valet drivers.
Receiving and holding the key is an exclusive experience in its own right – with it sitting safely in your pocket you can simply press the ‘Engine’ button and it roars into life.
A rare model
With only 40 units ever made, this car is not just hard to buy but also rare to spot on the roads.
This Bugatti Divo was brought all the way from Molsheim, France, by JP Logistics in Sun Valley, California.
The car was hidden in a wooden box, waiting to be unboxed and, as they opened it, everyone there had to catch their collective breath.
Not unlike the exclusive unboxing of the all-electric Lexus LFA successor.
Based on the Chiron and named after a French racing driver, the Divo can generate more downforce and more G-force.
The Divo is actually 35kg lighter than the Chiron Sport, too.
Under the hood, you’ll find Bugatti’s iconic quad-turbocharged W16, putting out close to 1,500 horsepower.
No wonder even Supercar Blondie herself, aka Alex Hirschi, couldn’t resist trying out one of these stunning models herself, showing just how irresistible the Divo is to drive.
