David Hasselhoff's Knight Rider car fails to sell at auction

The iconic KITT car from the television series Knight Rider, previously owned by David Hasselhoff, failed to sell at auction this past weekend. The bid reached 218,000 euros, falling short of the 272,000-euro asking price.

The iconic KITT vehicle, known for its role in the 1980s television series Knight Rider, failed to sell at a recent auction. The car was originally owned by actor David Hasselhoff, who played crime-fighter Michael Knight in the show. Hasselhoff used this specific Pontiac-based vehicle for promotional activities during his 1985 European tour.

Despite the celebrity connection, the car did not reach its reserve price. While the vehicle was expected to fetch approximately 272,000 euros, the highest bid recorded during the auction reached only 218,000 euros. As a result, the sale did not proceed, leaving the fate of the famous automotive star uncertain for the time being.
