Knight Rider K.I.T.T. replica to be auctioned in Switzerland

A heavily modified 1982 Pontiac Firebird used by David Hasselhoff for promotional tours during the 1980s is scheduled for auction in Lucerne, Switzerland. The vehicle, a replica of the K.I.T.T. car from the television series Knight Rider, was used by Hasselhoff during his European promotional duties.

The car is currently owned by Swiss musician Urs Kunz, who purchased it 27 years ago from a record company. The vehicle has a history of damage, having been stolen in Italy and later recovered by Interpol in the Czech Republic with significant electronic damage. Kunz has since had the car restored to a drivable condition.

While the replica features electronics and a steering wheel designed to match the show, it is not street-legal due to its specialized components, such as the gullwing-style steering wheel and specific lighting. The auction will be conducted by Broad Arrow Auctions.
