Enough of these kit (ahem) cars, we’re ready for the real deal. Up on the auction block today is a genuine 1984 Pontiac Trans Am that was used in the third and fourth seasons of Knight Rider. Yep, this is the one with the coveted Super Pursuit Mode, and legend has it that cops won’t even ticket you for using it. At first glance, one can’t help but be impressed with how spectacular this bona fide piece of history looks, but one glance at the interior and you realize there’s quite a bit of work left to do. Personally, we could think of a limitless number of better ways to spend 26 large, but hardcore Hasselhoff fans will likely insist on differing.

Not everyone can afford to buy their own K.I.T.T. or K.I.T.T clone off eBay, but that doesn’t mean you can’t show your Knight Rider affection in other entirely non-subtle ways, as evidenced by this elaborate PC case mod by Thomas Fan (which we can only assume is not an alias for the ‘Hoff himself). As you can see in the video after the break, the red LEDs faithfully mimic K.I.T.T.’s faint glimmer of intelligence and, while you can’t carry on a conversation with it, you can at least make believe thanks to some familiar start-up and shutdown sounds. Sadly, Thomas hasn’t provided any plans for building you own, though we’re guessing that when it comes to something like Knight Rider, most fans would prefer to put their own personal touch on things anyway.

While you may or may not agree with NBC’s decision to make KITT a Ford Mustang in the new Knight Rider series, we’re pretty sure that you’re gonna tune in next February nonetheless if for no other reason then to see what modern technology can do to a talking, crime-fighting car. Well luckily Popular Mechanics has what is reportedly an exclusive spec sheet detailing all of the Knight Industries Three Thousand’s many capabilities, including much of the in-vehicle biometric and genetic testing you’d expect, along with such military features as laser weapons, a missile defense system, and even a targeted electromagnetic pulse for frying an enemy’s gadgets or pulling off the odd casino heist. One cutting-edge device that has been left out is a breathalyzer-based ignition system, which was allegedly scrapped at the last minute after designers learned that David Hasselhoff would not in fact be getting behind the wheel this time around.

We know, it’s a little sad how dear Knight Rider is to our hearts, but honestly, we couldn’t be more elated to find that the show is finally getting a new breath of life. Starting in February, an updated version of the classic will be hitting NBC, and while we could spend hours gushing over the cast, our eyes are fixed on the star pictured above. The new K.I.T.T. will be played by a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR, and while three versions will make appearances, it should come as no surprise to hear that out personal favorite is the driverless K.I.T.T. Remote. Go on, indulge in the links below for more pictorial goodness, we won’t tell anyone.
