K.I.T.T.(Knight Industries Two Thousand) This is the name of
the car developed by F.L.A.G. for use in fighting "criminals
who operate above the law". K.I.T.T. was a 1982 black
Pontiac Trans AM. Universal obtained prototypes of this vehicle
from GM in order to boost publicity before its release. Later, GM
requested that Universal no longer refered to the car as a Trans
AM due to an overwhelming number of customers waiting to buy the
"Knight Rider" version of the car.
