Description[]
HW K.I.T.T. Concept is a licensed original design depicting Hot Wheels's vision of how a futuristic K.I.T.T. would look like. The vehicle was inspired by the original K.I.T.T., with the car's "faceless" appearance and a modern interpretation of the wedge-like shape of the original K.I.T.T. giving rise to its futuristic appearance; the Dodge M4S from the film The Wraith was also said to be an inspiration for the K.I.T.T. Concept. It is said to have a bulletproof glass canopy and "upgraded drone technology". The vehicle itself was designed back in 2019 at the request of Universal Pictures; designer Charlie Angulo would create a short film to showcase the model at the time, also composing and producing music for said film.
Similar to the original K.I.T.T. casting, this casting has been used to portray a futuristic version of K.A.R.R. A slot is cut out in the bottom of the base; a light can be shone into the base to allow the car's scanner to "function".
