KITT went red?

David Hasselhoff may beg to differ, but KITT was definitely the star of the show, with kids pestering their parents for RC versions and toys.

The Hoff once revealed that KITT was inspired by the evil artificial intelligence HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, with the red flashing light on the car’s hood being a nod to the Cylons from ‘Battlestar Galactica’.

Did you know that KITT once got a new paint job and went from black to red?

In 'Knight Rider 2000' the Knight Industries 4000, KIFT, was the new FLAG vehicle in.

It is a copy of the 1988 Pontiac Banshee IV concept based on a Dodge Stealth.

This was supposed to be KITT's replacement but Michael Knight replaced the AI with the old one, allowing the original KITT to be reborn as the Knight 4000.
