Re: When Will The Hot Wheels Super Elite 1/18 Kitt Be Released?
Sadly, the Super Elite KITT, and a few other products, never got produced. A small run of pre-production samples were made and that's as close as it got. The vendor went out of business, and it appears that someone is now selling those unfinished pieces straight out of China. you can see them here: ...

Re: Will Hot Wheels Elite Make A 1/18 Super Pursuit Mode KIT
Yes, the Special Edition KITT is still happening. A new prototype sample was in Germany at this year's NTF. I haven't seen any pics released online yet, though the show is now over.

Re: Hot Wheels 1/18 Elite Karr/Super Elite Kitt
The 1:43 KARR Elite are all over ebay as of a few weeks ago. They range from $48-$54. I'm happy they applied the silver paint over the fenders, as well as the yellow scanner and correct plate. Joey. Both the 1:18 and 1:43 KARR received tooling modifications to be accurate to the "season 3"...

Re: What's the difference between a 1982 to 1992 Trans Ams?
As mentioned there were changes to the cars each year, both aesthetic and mechanical. I could list a lot of them out for you if you're interested. It really comes down to how much work you want to do and how accurate you want your car to be. And your budget, too. You'll need a lot of parts- both int...

Unfortunately, I do not know the release dates. You'll have to stick to the website for that.

Re: Hot Wheels 1/18 Elite Karr/Super Elite Kitt
Re: KARR.. As shown in Nuremburg there have been some detail updates to this including getting the tires radiused on the edges (looks much better), upgrading to the season 3 front end as seen later in the episode (and getting some of the curve in the fascia), adding the "season one" style ...

Re: 1982 Trans Am "Dated?"
Aerodynamically speaking- the 1984 Trans Am with the optional W62 Aero Package (ground f/x) was advertised with a .29 coefficient of drag. That is still better than many new cars today. Just one more reason you can use to argue with anyone who would question you driving these cars...

Re: Hot wheels elite KITT/KARR voicebox
There is a significant difference between printing a voice box graphic and making it light up. The Elite KARR voice box won't be lighting up.
The sequential voice box is too small at 1:18 scale to make it light up sequentially/ accurately.

Re: Hot Wheels Super Elite Kitt/Possible Karr
Part of the difficulty in making an accurate replica is the fact that the details in KITT changed throughout the seasons, and within the episodes. Part of this had to be supply (of vehicles form POntiac/ available for use during the day of filming), and the rest from recycling footage from previous ...

Re: So what's the verdict...who makes the best diecast KITT?
No, I meant sculpting detail of the inner sides of the doors, hood and trunk. Instead of being flat pieces of metal, there is sculpting detail to indicate the latches, weatherstripping, structural details, etc.

Re: Hot Wheels Super Elite Kitt/Possible Karr
Why don't you just apply an cover where these lines had been cutted out. Hence you only require one single LED and have optically a 3 lines voice box!?! Assuming this could even be done at this scale and still be legible- why would anyone want to? The lights would still all light up equally. You wo...

Re: Hot Wheels Super Elite Kitt/Possible Karr
It will be the season one square box, and the season 3 pedal will go away.
I don't think they make LED's that small to accurately replicate that voice box at that scale anyway. If they do, post a link..
