In 1982 a new show aired featuring David Hasselhoff and a talking Trans Am, sounds pretty cool right? Well that show was none other than Knight Rider. Yes, I know that Knight Rider is a TV show and not a movie but, KITT is definitely a super famous car to talk about.
KITT stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand and in the show he is a Trans Am controlled by an AI (artificial intelligence) who has a ton of bells and whistles. The show’s staff designed what they would want KITT to look like and one of the major changes was the nose of the car. The Trans Am also went through some changes on the interior to make it as futuristic as they could back in the 80s.
Throughout the show's 4 seasons, around 20 KITTs were made. Some were used for stunts and others for general use. After the show ended a bunch of the cars were destroyed because of an agreement with GM. Today only 5 remain and they are mostly seen at comic conventions.
