The Elek Motors CHP-AAD is a modified muscle car in Watch Dogs 2.
Design[]
The CHP-AAD is heavily based on the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am (KITT) from the TV series Knight Rider.
The CHP-AAD is a modified version of the 571, having featured a different front end with a slightly pronounced nose and has two squared lamps placed on both sides of the front, next to the split grille. Similar to KITT from the Knight Rider series, it features a small screen on the upper center of the front end, but the screen shows pixelated bars, instead of the animated red dot that KITT has. The hood is a snorkel design and the intake features another screen showing the same pixelated bars. The rear end was also modified, replacing the usual taillights with a large screen, along with a "duck-tail" spoiler above it.

CHIP[]

- ―Jimmy Siska
CHIP is a modified CHP-AAD featured in the movie CyberDriver, and appears in the mission Cyberdriver. It is the technologically advanced car that is responsive to the movie's main character, Devon Von Devon (played by Jimmy Siska). It seems to be modeled as a retro car as its design is outdated for the movie its in, along with pixelated bars on its back that move up and down at different speeds for decoration.
DedSec Car[]
After the CHP-AAD is seen in the movie trailer for CyberDriver (as the CHIP), Marcus Holloway tracks it down and steals it from a guarded lot. On arriving at Wrench's garage, Marcus, Sitara, Josh, and Wrench upgrade it to be capable of being remotely driven. They also repaint the car and deck it out with cool features, to make it their official car.
They use a tablet to remotely race it through the streets, and the police chase it because it's identified as the stolen CyberDriver car. The media figure this out too, but assume that its just a media stunt for the movie, until they see it has the DedSec logo on it and has no driver. The race ends with the car driving over a highway ramp and crashing through a billboard for CyberDriver, the movie it was made for, and explodes in a fiery ball.
However, after the mission is complete, the player can order the CHP-AAD for free, which will always be the DedSec Car variant.

Trivia[]
- The CHP-AAD is the only vehicle in Watch Dogs 2 that was created in one form and after the mission it is featured in, can only be ordered in its customized form, not the original form.
- The name CHIP is a direct reference to the car it is based on, which is KITT.
- The name is also a reference to another TV series, CHiPs.
- While KITT stands for "Knight Industries Two Thousand", it is unknown what CHIP stands for.
- The CHP-AAD had a slightly different appearance in the game's beta, featuring a large spoiler on the trunk, similar to KITT's Super Pursuit Mode. This can still be seen in DedSec's "Hack and Run" propaganda video in the mission CyberDriver.
