“Michael Knight, a lone crusader in a dangerous world. The world… of the Knight Rider.”

Keeping my Scanners peeled as per usual whilst cruising around the various blogs my nostalgia suddenly took a Turbo Boost off the scale when I discovered this Knight Rider themed GPS unit. This was released in August 2008 in America, presumably to coincide with the release of the new Television series of Knight Rider.

The unit features the voice of William Daniels who voiced KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) for the original TV series. Not only that but with an element of personalisation the unit contains a database of 300 names so that ‘KITT’ can talk to you directly! Situated either side of the display are two red LED ‘Visual Amplitude Indicator Readouts’ (they move in relation to the volume of KITT’s voice) in place of the originally centrally positioned LED readout of KITT’S anamorphic equaliser.

Have to be careful you don’t end up trying to drive through trailers, or turbo-boost over the traffic jams, but all I know is, I WANT ONE!
