Had the pleasure of hiring and very shortly driving this KITT replica for my wedding a few weeks ago and give full kudos to Phil for the work he’s put in making the car. Just for the few hours of having KITT forfilled my childhood dream and will say to anyone who hires this vehicle, you will not be disappointed

Awesome episode! I too remember watching Knight Rider as a kid. The 80's were amazing. It truly was the time of vehicle driven shows. Sadly, as a kid I did not realize how special those times were until I look back at them now. Thanks for sharing. It is an incredible thing to be able to drive your dream :)

That is still my dream car - I'm about as old as the car (born in April 81) but y'know... I have been a fan of this show since it was first run. Grew up watching the taped off the air VHS tapes constantly. I still watch my digital copies at least a few episodes a month... I'd totally take one to a con and let other geeks my age just nerd out to it

@keithc728 5 лет назад

They actually had 20 cars for the tv show. 5 were used for stunts. 1 for up close shots and the others for just back up. I still love and watch the show.

@Rockin_Ross Год назад

Here in America, I live near a guy who has a replica like that. He loves 99.9% of it, except driving it with that steering yoke. He has a quick release for it and has a regular wheel that he uses for daily driving. Then he’ll put the yoke on for car shows and the like. Says it’s just to unsafe for quick steering inputs or other needs. Great episode!

@davidhamilton1981 5 лет назад

I've seen quite a few KITT replicas over the years, but this is probably the best. The stance of the car is all-important, and so often the suspension is too high, or the wheels are too big or small...this is spot on. The vox box isn't the original flashing solid red box, but the three bar replacement. Can't recall exactly when it came in... Very jealous!!

@TheCarGuysTV 5 лет назад

What a lot of fun. TRULY EXCELLENT. I sat in one in the early nineties in LA at Universal Studios. They had someone talking as kitt. Probably some bloke in a nearby building with a walkie talkie. I asked for money. Kitt said the Knight foundation isn't allowed to dispense cash at will.

Some KITT replicas people have installed components to lower the dash brightness for the dark or the ability to just shut off everything except for the essentials, for example the speedometer.

@waynemangan9925 3 года назад

Favorite show growing p in the eighties. When I was about 7 I got to sit in KITT at Universal Studios CA, and KITT actually ask me my name and other simple questions. I was probably spellbound at that age. Later in life I happened upon THE HOFF just vacationing in Malibu as he was about to shoot for his failed reality show. I gathered my balls and discretely approached him and explained my fandom asking for a photo with him. He took 4 eternal seconds to look up from his phone before Enthusiastically replying " Sure! That'd be just fine" before his bitchy assistant gruffly interjected "Give Mr. Hasslehoff a miinute, to finish on his phone, and I'LL be taking the picture". Almost talking over her, HOFF is already asking where I hail from, and remarking on the Nebraska Cornhuskers. HOFF couldnt have been COOLER to me. One of the best moments in my life.

@syragrippa8769 5 лет назад

I love this so much. It reminds me of the time I saw a full scale replica of an X-wing. The only differences is, this can actually be used and doesn't just look cool.

@gothicpagan.666 4 года назад

Put a turbo on it with switchable mapping for the different modes, you could even go with switchable suspension, using electro magnetic shocks. Amazing what has happened over the past 35 years

@OfficialJGorman 6 месяцев назад

Lovely watching this drive around Reading. I’ve seen it in Whitley, Reading of all places too. Now there’s an area that even Micheal Knight couldn’t fix lol. I’m a few years away from affording a KITT replica, but I will get one. The kid in me won’t ever grow up!

Very cool guys, I saw the original "hero" car at cars of the stars museum in Keswick in the early 2000's it was owned by a local dentist and tv and movie car addict called peter nelson , the story was he had a friend that was a studio executive at universal studios in Los Angeles . Peter would make regular trips to buy as many original and authentic tv /movie cars as he could from the studios. The studio exec put peter in touch with hasselhoff himself who was given the original "hero" car used for close ups , when the show finished production , they negotiated a price and the car was shipped to the lake district and put on display, the museum closed in 2011 and the whole collection of cars was bought by another collector and put in a much larger museum in Florida. Peter owned the original A team / BA Barracas van, the original streethawk motorcycle, the original adam west George barris batmobile, the original "munster coach". He even had the original Ferrari 308 gts used in " magnum p.i " among many many others , my entire childhood in one museum it was incredible and very special , i was gutted when it closed , i visited every year for the new arrivals. You guys would have loved it as much as i did. !!

Believe it or not, many of the stunts in the Knight Rider series were done with models, as using an actual Firebird would've been prohibitively expensive. 23 KITT cars were made for filming the series, all except one of which survived until the end. When the show was cancelled, 17 of those were destroyed. The remaining five originals have gone on to private collectors.
