K.I.T.T.

Description[]

K.I.T.T. is the short name of the Knight Industries Two Thousand, which appeared in the original TV series Knight Rider. K.I.T.T. is an artificially intelligent electronic computer module in the body of a highly advanced, very mobile, robotic automobile. The original K.I.T.T. was a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and was voiced by William Daniels. In the television show's history, the first K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) was designed by the late Wilton Knight, a brilliant but eccentric billionaire and founder of the Foundation for Law And Government (FLAG) and its parent Knight Industries.

The 1/64th scale die-cast model is based on the season 1 K.I.T.T. and is very detailed. It features K.I.T.T.'s iconic scanner bar. A nice feature of this model is the printed dashboard/console for every release. The chassis detail is based on the K.I.T.T. kit control drawings. And, although difficult to see, the overhead console detail is cast into the roof of the vehicle.

The car was also made in 1/43 and 1/18 scale in the Hot Wheels Elite line.
