Knight Rider R/C Car
|
|
|
It takes genuine talent to outshine an acting juggernaut like David Hasselhoff. But, unbelievable though it may seem, the Hoff was once upstaged by a car. And it wasn't just any old car, it was KITT, or to give its full title, the Knight Industries Two Thousand.
This sleek, customized 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, R/C version of one of crummy TV's greatest vehicles.
The Hoff not included
The Knight Rider R/C Car doesn't have a molecular bonded shell, and it can't leap through the air (unless you throw it). It does, however, travel forwards, backwards, left and right, and boasts a 'turbo-boost' function. It also emits that familiar whooshing sound and features a working red sensor on the hood. Best of all, this tribute to an 80s legend talks when you hit a button on the transmitter: 'I am KITT, whom you may regard as the voice of the Knight 2000.'
Remote Control
As soon as you get behind the wheel (well fool around with the transmitter) of this iconic vehicle the Knight Rider memories will come flooding back: Michael's unfeasibly tight jeans, Devon's plummy voice, April's incredible set of *ahem* wrenches and that pulsating theme music. In fact, this beautifully built R/C car is so evocative you might be tempted to buy an ill-fitting leather jacket, get a perm and cruise the highways fighting crime. Or maybe not.
With whispers of a new series of Knight Rider in the pipeline, there's never been a better time to make a total Hasselhoff out of yourself. Whether you're a fan of the show or you just love everything to do with the Hoff (and who doesn't?), buying a Knight Rider R/C Car is your civic duty. After all, how else will you champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless and the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law? Exactly!

This is an awesome car, it's easy to drive and fast. It was shipped fast too. I bought my brother a remote control General Lee, and I can't wait to race it! Thanks Firebox.

Got this cool car for my boyfriend for Christmas, it was the pressie he loved the most! Scared the cats a bit though!

Was very excited to order this because had a previous one as a kid (complete with wristwatch same as Michael Knight's but played the theme tune as alarm instead of talking to KITT)
The car is excellent apart from the swoosh type sound effect which plays constantly while the car's not being driven. Can be turned off though - useful feature. Come on Firebox - bring back the wristwatch too!!

When I saw it I had to buy it. It makes me feel like a kid again, I'm 32.
It is easy to drive and well made, I am now going to build some cardboard ramps to film it jumping.

Every Knight Rider fan in the world should own one of these. I cant give it enough props. It cant be beat on quality & performance! All the way around sweet toy so now everyone reading this go ahead buy it, its perfectly awesome!

Wicked Retro Toy! Batteries included too (which is often an R\C Cars downfall). Great for a burn around the house or looking good on the sideboard!
Jay Cee, Cambridge - Nov '07 |
This is a good quality product that im enjoying. The controls and car are sturdy and easy to use. The sound is pretty loud though and not a soft noise that Kitt made in the series and instead a rather loud and harsh sound comes across, so I suggest turning the sound off. Overall 4/5, a nice little kit.

There must be better things to do that watch a springy thingy slink down the stairs, but you'll forget what they are when you start fiddling with this 60th anniversary re-issue of Slinky. As strangely compelling as ever, this design icon even comes in its original no-frills packaging.
