The problem with KITT is they never updated the car. They produced the show just about at the lowest point in American automotive performance: the late 70s-early 80's. They went with a really futuristic styled car, and it was an improvement, but it was still a dog that ran like shit.

They improved the styling of the 80's foxbody cars (firebird, camaro, mustang) even more starting in 1985 and the performance went through the roof in 1987 with port fuel injection but during the years Knight Rider was in production, those cars sucked. They should have updated the style for the 1986 season since by then the 1985 trans am had been around for awhile and was more muscular and KITT looked wimpy as fuck. Still does with those skinny ass tires and weak rear spoiler

That would be Knight Industries Two Thousand as a crime-solving, sarcastic, suped up '82 Trans Ams is quite easily the most aesthetically pleasing and personable car that a television show has ever produced.

full digital dashes in cars were cancer. The early 80's were a horrible, horrible time culturally. Don't fall for the memes, kids.

I just have a boner for William Daniels' voice so yeah KITT is best boy

Bullshit, the 80s were the best decade to be a kid in, I know, I was one.

>kids driving cars in the 80s
>kids posting about the 80's on image boards
You're not making any sense and are clearly too senile to post here, gramps.

This. I was also a kid in the 80s.

Remember when KITT had to take on Goliath?

Driving straight at him was a pretty good trick.

The thing about the Miami Vice Ferrari is that it's not an extremely "80's" styled car. It's got a very 70's vibe to it

post the Formula and we can talk. KITT is technically a "Trans Am" but it's really a Formula, considering the early 80's models lacked bottom spoilers, which is not very T/A-like.

KITT's wheel/tire combo always drove me nuts. V6 automatic secretary model.

lol

It was shit, but it was all you could get until '85 and the norm until like 1988. The styling of American sports cars was garbage for most of the 80's and was really only peak autokino for 4 years '88-92.

Amazing how the aesthetics still hold up...doesn't look horrible 70s cocaine vision custom at all...

KITT is such a timeless design. 40 years later it's still cool.

I'll see your trans am kammback and raise you an era-appropriate k-type for this thread.

It was in production between 68 and 73, it would be weird if it had any 80s vibe. Also the car in the show was a replica not a real Ferrari, which actually pissed of Ferrari by season 3 and they donated two white Testarossas to the team to use in the show.
