TOMY International and Universal Products & Experiences have announced a new collaboration to produce a limited-edition diecast replica of the K.I.T.T. car from the Knight Rider television series, available for pre-order from September 23 to October 23, 2025. This crowd-funded project represents the second such partnership between the companies and aims to create a highly detailed 1:10 scale premium collectible that authentically captures the essence of the iconic vehicle.

Morgan Weyl, Managing Director of Licensing and Global Development at TOMY International, emphasized the significance of this release, stating that it transports fans to an iconic era in television history. The replica features an array of collector-cherished elements, including a Super Pursuit Mode transformation, Ski Mode display option, and impressive light effects. A standout feature is the Voice Recognition interface, allowing fans to interact with and receive responses from the legendary voice of K.I.T.T., enhancing the immersive experience right out of the box.

The model is authentically replicated in 1:10 scale, measuring 10" x 8.25" x 5.25" when closed, with die-cast metal parts ensuring durability and authenticity. Functional LED lights, both interior and exterior, are TV series-accurate, complemented by a detailed interior and rotating license plate. Additional features include hidden touch sensors to activate Super Pursuit Mode, light and voice effects, a light-up dashboard and LED screen, and a Ski Mode display stand. This marks the first time a K.I.T.T. car is offered at this scale in diecast, making it a unique addition to collectors' inventories.

Priced at $399 USD for the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom, the TOMY Knight Rider K.I.T.T. car weighs approximately 8 lbs and will enter production in the fall once the goal of 3,000 pieces is met. TOMY is supporting the announcement with a robust digital campaign targeting Knight Rider fans in these regions and promoting the preview on knightrider-signup.tomy.com. Delivery to buyers is scheduled for early 2027, emphasizing the project's long-term commitment to quality and fan engagement.
