I’d be willing to bet that a good many of you have, at some point in your life, wanted your very own KITT from Knight Rider. Seriously, who wouldn’t want a bad ass Trans Am voiced by Mr. Feeny? Since there is no actual Knight Industries Two Thousand, you can at least subsitute with a cool car and one of these new Knight Rider GPS.

Mio has cooked up this special Knight Rider GPS which is essentially one of their Mio systems with a few fancy decorations to make it look like something you’d see in the show. The best part (and likely the selling point for most) is the fact that you’ll be given directions by William Daniels, otherwise known as KITT himself. When you turn it on you’ll even be greeted with his voice asking “Hello Michael. Where do you want to go today?”. Look for this awesome GPS later this year for around $270.

Man when I was a kid I seriously loved Knight Rider. That was way back before Hasselhoff was a drunkard ex-life guard and was actually cool. NBC has plans to bring Knight Rider back to network TV in a 2-hour pilot TV movie with a Transformers inspiration to it.

How exactly the remake is going to be like Transformers remains to be seen, but we could easily assume Kitt will be a transforming robot like Bumble Bee, which is cool sounding. NBC has cast Justin Bruening in the lead role of Michael Knight for the pilot where he will play the son of the Hoffster from the original series. Let’s hope NBC forgoes the tight pants and big hair this go around.
