Knight Rider R/C Car

Knight Rider R/C Car

What would be the next best thing after having your own robot version of David Hasselhoff? Probably your own radio controlled KITT.

This sleek, customised Pontiac Trans-Am was impervious to attack, could cruise at 300mph and was loaded with hi-tech armaments. It could even talk, albeit in an incredibly camp, condescending voice. And now, thanks to your hairy-chested friends at the Firebox Foundation, you can own a fully-functioning, rechargeable RC version of one of rubbish TV’s greatest vehicles.

Knight Rider R/C Car

The car travel forwards, backwards, left and right, boasts a ‘turbo-boost’ function and a red sensor with varying speeds and “cyclon” sound effect.

Last, but not least; hit a button on the transmitter and you’ll hear:
-I am KITT, whom you may regard as the voice of the Knight 2000.

Here’s a video clip of the car in action:

The Knight Rider R/C Car measures 12(W) x 9(H) x 33(D) cm and requires 4 x AA batteries for the car and 1 x 9v battery for the transmitter.

Now available over at Firebox.com for £29.95 (about ($62 USD).

  1. Haha I bought this as a birthday present for my cousin.

    It’s not all its hyped up to be… i didnt even notice a difference when turning the turbo function on, so don’t even bother to attempt the turbo jump as it’ll just end in tears or pieces :)
