This was a toy I had when I was younger that I never realized was made by Kenner!
It is a very simple toy that recreated KITTs signature turbo boost that was used in the show Knight Rider. Just put the car into the launcher and slide it forward and KITT was racing off. The launcher had more force than you would think, so needless to say it was a lot of fun! Kenner also made the Knight 2000 Crash Set that you could jump your cars through that added more toys and excitement.
This is an awesome 2 page ad that was in the 1983 Toy Fair Catalog.
Man, what a great toy car! I would have loved to buy that, when I was 10!
I always thought KITT looked too long and skinny in this version

Kenner’s Knight Rider with Turbo Booster was given to me as a Christmas gift when I was in kindergarten. It was the best present to get during the Holidays. The toy was given to me by my dad’s colleague. My friends and cousin used to play when they would visit us in Brooklyn, New York. Unfortunately, K.I.T.T. was lost, but I still have the Turbo Booster. Catch Knight Rider episodes on YouTube.com and be transported back in time.
