KITT is powered by the Knight Industries Turbojet with modified afterburners and a computer controlled 8-speed turbodrive transmission. Specifications 0 to 60 MPH in 2 seconds, Standing to quarter mile 4.286 seconds. Electromagnetic hyper-vacuum disc brakes: 14 foot braking distance (70 - 0 MPH).

Turbo Boost - Used at least once in every episode, a series of rear mounted undercarrage rocket motors allows KITT to accelerate to incredible speeds of up to 200 MPH. When activated in combination with the Trajectory Guidance System and a pair of rocket motors mounted just behind the front tires that lifted the front of the car, KITT could jump 40 feet into the air and pass over obstacles in the road. The system also allowed KITT added power whenever he had to maneuver heavy objects such as pushing a heavy boulder off a cliff, or pulling a large vehicle out of danger. The boosters could fire forward or backward.

Ok, I knew you would recognise KITT

My son was very small when the programme was on TV, when he saw the Turbo Boost control he thought it said Turbo Boots, so we always said Kitt was putting his Turbo Boots on....

Well I don't have time to find out just what kind of Pontiac it is, so you can put in another car. Or wait and see if someone else gives you the right answer.....

No idea what the next one is, the picture is too big and I can't see it properly... anyway, it doesn't look like a useful car for going to the supermarket....
