Yahoo Autos Knight Rider's KITT Steering Wheel Makes it Impossible to Drive
There are numerous KITT replicas on the road, living in more countries than David Hasselhoff could name off the top of his head on a Sunday morning. Some are just as good as the originals that starred in the TV show, some are worse, and some have the full exterior kit but none of the gizmos inside.
James Love did his car the right way, acquiring a 1982 Trans Am Recaro as a start, researching the topic and ordering the correct parts from the depth of Craigslist and the Knight Rider community forums. Who knew you could buy a KITT dashboard from Italy today?
While nobody seems to know exactly how many original KITTs are out there, one thing is for sure: If your replica includes the interior bits as well, you must hate sharp turns, as the Knight Industries steering unit (you can't really call it a "wheel") is a true enemy of your privates:
I always wanted the later KITT Super Pursuit Mode version. Nothing is more eighties than doing 300mph in a Trans Am with an extended nose.
