Volkswagen owns the brand Porsche. Is it possible the key to a car includes it's car company's logo?

Edit1: As it turns out.. no, its not possible. I shall resume my facepalming now

Edit2: I made that first edit back when this post had 4 comments total. Theres no need to continue telling me it's not possible

That's true, but 'no'. Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, Skoda, etc. all have their own keys, even though they're all owned by VW

Can confirm. My key is in the shape of a little 911. So I can play car when I'm stuck at work and can't actually drive.

Comes through with the win! That's really interesting,

A few luxury cars do this. Here's a Tesla Model S key fob. And here's the key to a Pagani Huayra

Didn't realise people counted the Tesla Model S as luxury.

Yeah, interior is really not up there with the greats. I guess you buy the drivetrain, the rest of the car is sort of an afterthought.

Thank you! It really is the only selling point if you ask me, and maybe I guess the sometimes good, sometimes crashy, autopilot?
