However, Graiman's garage in the 2008 pilot shows a more complete collection of parts than in the boxes recovered by Michael Knight in Knight Rider 2000. In Knight Rider 2000, it is stated that most of the Knight 2000 parts had been sold off. The "new" or "second" KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is a different vehicle and microprocessor unit. While the 2008 pilot movie, and then the new series, appears to be a revamp of the original series, it offers some continuity from the original one. However, the third AI is not used in the end. When KITT is about to die, his memories are downloaded so the third KITT can use them. In "Knight of the Living Dead", Graiman states a third KITT exists as a backup. It is later revealed that "The Shadow" is actually a hologram run by KITT.

The 1991 movie Knight Rider 2000 saw the first KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) in pieces, and Michael Knight himself reviving the Knight 2000 microprocessor unit, which is eventually transferred into the body of the vehicle intended to be the original KITT's direct successor, the Knight 4000. KITT's total initial production cost was estimated at $11,400,000 in 1982 (Episode 5, "Just My Bill"). An unknown number of KITT's systems were designed at Stanford University. The 2008 pilot film implied that Charles Graiman, creator of the Knight Industries Three Thousand, also had a hand in designing the first KITT. In the history of the television show, the first KITT, voiced by William Daniels, was said to have been designed by the late Wilton Knight, a brilliant but eccentric billionaire, who established the Foundation for Law And Government (FLAG) and its parent Knight Industries. The convertible and super-pursuit KITTs were designed and built by George Barris. KITT was designed by customizer Michael Scheffe. In the original Knight Rider series, the character of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) was physically embodied as a modified 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. Wider view of the Universal Studios attraction Val Kilmer voiced KITT in the 2008–2009 Knight Rider series. A 1991 sequel film, Knight Rider 2000, is centered on KITT's original microprocessor unit transferred into the body of the vehicle intended to be his successor, the Knight Industries Four Thousand (Knight 4000), voiced by Carmen Argenziano and William Daniels.

KARR was voiced first by Peter Cullen and later by Paul Frees in seasons one and three, respectively, of the NBC original TV series Knight Rider. KITT's evil twin is KARR, whose name is an acronym of Knight Automated Roving Robot. David Hasselhoff and original series voice actor William Daniels first met each other six months after the series began filming.
In both instances, KITT is an artificially intelligent electronic computer module in the body of a highly advanced, very mobile, robotic automobile: the original KITT as a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, and the second KITT as a 2008–2009 Ford Shelby GT500KR.ĭuring filming, KITT was voiced by a script assistant, with voice actors recording KITT's dialog later. While having the same acronym, the KITTs are two different entities: one known as the Knight Industries Two Thousand, which appeared in the original TV series Knight Rider, and the other as the Knight Industries Three Thousand, which appeared first in the two-hour 2008 pilot film for a new Knight Rider TV series and then the new series itself. is the short name of two fictional characters from the adventure franchise Knight Rider.
