One legendary black Trans Am has cruised its way onto LEGO® Ideas. Builder Spacewalker78 has recreated KITT, the intelligent talking car from the 1980s TV smash Knight Rider, in 227 bricks. Fans of Michael Knight and his sassy supercar finally have a reason to buckle up.

KITT, which stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand, gets the loving treatment here at a six-studs-wide scale that feels just right for display. Peek inside the cockpit and you will find a monitor, plus the buttons and lights that any 1980s viewer will recognize in a heartbeat (yes, the ones that let the car chat back). Getting a curved, sleek supercar shape to read correctly at this size takes real skill with slopes and angles, and it shows.

The set includes KITT, a Michael Knight minifigure to sit behind the wheel, and a display stand to keep the whole thing looking sharp on your shelf. Want to imagine Michael leaping into the driver's seat mid-chase? Nothing is stopping you. There is no single right way to pose a legend like this, and half the joy is in staging your own episode.

The build comes from Spacewalker78, a self-described big fan of the series who wanted a brick-built tribute to the car that basically co-starred alongside its human. The pitch is simple and honest: any fan of classic cars or 1980s television would love this on their desk. The project has gathered 1,189 supporters so far, with 87 comments cheering it along.

Think this talking automotive icon deserves its shot at becoming a real set? Head over and back Knight Rider on LEGO® Ideas. Because who wouldn't want a car that finishes their sentences?
