Hotwheels Elite 1:18 Scale KITT
I want some opinions. Is there many flaws to the car or is it mostly a perfect model?

I never bought one because the wheels aren't screen accurate. They look like smaller rims than what was used in the show. The left side of the dash from Kitt's voice modulator and on, the shape isn't correct.

This was a subject that was raised when the model was released. KITT had 15" rims and the Hot Wheels 1:18s are perfectly scaled.Knight Racer wrote:I never bought one because the wheels aren't screen accurate. They look like smaller rims than what was used in the show.
The biggest problem with the wheels are the tyres - far too square in profile, and with no markings.
There's lots of information and opinion on this forum about the pros and cons, comparisons with the ERTL model and detailed photographs.K.I.T.T Fan wrote:Can someone just help me that owns one?

It's quite simply the best 1:18 scale model of KITT you can buy - it's better than ERTL's model in every respect.

Re: Hotwheels Elite 1:18 Scale KITT
The only issue I've had and seen others with have been the seats not staying down.
If you can buy one in a real shop, check that the seats will sit down and stay down before you buy it and not pop up.
The paintwork on mine is flawless,
It really is the best model KITT out there.

It costs about 100 to 150 dollars most likely.Adan Bailey wrote:I need Elite 1:18 Scale KITT but can you tell me what is the current price range to Import it in my country? Design of the wheels is same or have more options to see before ordering anything?

look on youtube, there are plenty of video reviews, then head over to ebay.
