KITT's Turbo Boost is an awesome car feature, right? So, every box-crashing, Styrofoam rock-smashing Turbo Boost sequence ever, packed into one video must be the most awesome thing ever, right?

It is.

Wikipedia defines Turbo Boost as:

Used in most episodes, a series of rear mounted undercarriage rocket motors allows KITT to accelerate to incredible speeds in excess of 200 mph (322 km/h). 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 (12,2 m) 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.

Robot Chicken arrived at Knight Rider's golden rule of Turbo Boost. As KITT tells Michael, "But Michael, Turbo-boost should only be used once per episode."

Video here:

Cheesy 80's goodness. I think my favorite shot is at about 5:23 when KITT goes flying into an apartment's glass balcony door and INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

Musical accompaniment provided by Metallica (Creeping Death)

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.

Ping just ‘cause I know you’ll dig the soundtrack to this.

[Constitution Day]

I know you’ve been waiting all week to see something this awesome.

[Constitution Day]

I saw this earlier in the week and just knew I had to post it here. :)

Bump to view at home, where I don’t have the damn faggity-assed cool-stuff blockers.

[OA5599]

The Duke boys never needed no dang turbo boost button...

[Constitution Day]

ROFL!

I am sorry I didn’t ping you earlier. Thankfully, I don’t have cool-stuff blockers on my work PC!

[Constitution Day]

Gotta agree with you there. I was always a bigger fan of the Dukes than Knight Rider.

bump for later

We didn’t, until two interns (one male, one female), not from my division, decided to see who could find the grossest porn on the internet. They got fired, but their manager did’t, and i’m pissed! I can’t even search for fishing gear now.

I wont the contest, anyway, without google.

Do I even want to know?

No...no, I don't think so.

[Travis T. OJustice]

No, probably not.

[Rebelbase]

Har! I lasted for 5 min. and that’s NOT what my GF says!

[Two Kids' Dad]

Okay, so did anyone actually watch all 10 minutes of the vid? I suffered through about 8 minutes and couldn’t take any more.

[opticks]

Awesome!

[TADSLOS]

Hof Turbo Boost Ping.

[Xenalyte]

Friday morning sweet-ass Hoff ping!

And thanks to TADSLOS, who brought this masterpiece to my attention.

[Allegra]

The bad acting (over-exaggerated bounces and facial expressions) by Hof made that video. LOL

[Allegra]

Well then, dang...you missed the car "scoring a touchdown" as it turbo-boosted through some goal posts at the end.

[MozarkDawg]

Thank you, it's been much too long without some Hoff to spice things up! Since it's right around the corner ...

[MozarkDawg]

What a swinger!!

[Kickass Conservative]

I was at the L.A. Auto Show when Knight Rider had just started. Hesselhoff was there with the KITT car.

I remember people walking by ignoring the display and Hasselhoff looked bored to tears.

If it weren't for William Daniels voice as KITT, the series would have lasted 13 episodes, if that.

[Hot Tabasco]

I can’t believe I ever wasted my time watching that stupid program. But then again, when I see photos of myself from the 70’s with shoulder length hair I say WTF was I on???
