If you are a fan of the Knight Rider tv series back in the 80s, you will know what this car is... I have been waiting for it to come in this scale (1/18) for 10 years.. It has finally been produced!!! Got it back in November last year when it was first released..And boy was I happy when it arrived at my doorstep...

This model is very detailed except fot the wrong coloured orange foglights on the front.. They are suppose to be white like the rest.. Other than that, this model is the best to represent KITT.. Detailed dashboards, removable t-tops, working scanner light, ejector seat and a working grappling hook on the front. Be careful though not to overpull it as it could get jammed.. Also comes with opening doors, hood and trunk..

Highly recommended only for serious collectors and fans of the series!!!

I was a fan of the show and I also collect 1/18 scale cars from movies and TV shows. The working scanner, ejector seat, removable t-tops, and grappling hook are nice extras. I wish Ertl would have included KITT's voice but oh well. I appreciate and enjoy the detail that Ertl put into this model. It sits prominently with the rest of my collection in my display and receives many compliments from visitors when they see it. I would recommend this to any serious collector but not as a toy because it has a few parts that can easily be lost or swallowed and is made of heavy die cast metal.

In the '80s I was a fan of the Knight Rider. I had purchased and built the Knight Rider plastic car kit, and had numerous Knight Rider merchandise. This item is excellent. I have just begun collecting 1/18th scale autos and this is one that I am proud to add to my collection. The quality is high, and the detail is excellent. There is a button on the bottom of the vehicle that when pushed starts the scanner going back and forth. The only thing that would have been even cooler is if the scanner sound was also included so that the light and sound mimicked KITT.

I am still a fan of Knight Rider, the original series not the new one, and hope that more Knight Rider products are produced.

This item comes highly recommended from me.

I bought this car for a person with special needs. He loves the knight rider, so when he opened it for Christmas it was a gift for me to see how happy he was!

I was very dissapointed with the paintwork of the car and also the scratches found on the body and windscreen when I received the product. The roofscreen drops off easily too. My suggestion is also to include a name of the car at the front of the holder. Hence I would still think that it is better off as a toy for my 3 yr old child rather than for a serious collector for die cast models. Overall I was happy the model was reintroduced but more QC should be enforced in the production.

I have been a Knight Rider Fan since the beginning, I really don't play with Kitt, I have it on my dresser next to my Rocky Balboa statue. I am 56 years old, I am very happy with this replica of 1983 Knight Rider KITT diecast model car 1:18 scale die cast by Ertl If your a Fan you will to

It was everything I had expected of the product. The price was decent and it arrived in a timely manner.

I have just started collecting 1:18 scale movie and show cars and what better car to start with than K.I.T.T. (knight industries two thousand). This 1:18 scale diecast replica is highly detailed, even down to the plug wires that run from the distributor to the engine block. The underneath is just as detailed. It has a LED scanner on the front and has two switches on the bottom, one for the scanner to run for around 10 seconds and the other to turn on the scanner for as long as you like. It has a passenger side ejector seat and underneath the front is a wench that can be pulled out. The wheels turn, and the hood, trunk, t-tops and doors all open as well. Just a wonderful diecast replica, a must buy for any fan of the original series and really at an excellent price. I searched everywhere for this car and everyone else I found were asking around $70 or much higher.
