VOLO, Ill. — K.I.T.T. – the Knight Industries Two Thousand – earned the title: "The World's Most Incredible Car." James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 was just child's play by comparison, and it was amazing. It did lots of stuff.
But KITT could do it all.
The onboard computer thought and talked, sensed nearby dangers.
KITT could race to 200 miles per hour. And Turbo-Boost let KITT jump over 50 feet to clear obstructions. And if obstacles were unavoidable, KITT'S molecularly bonded shell let it hit, crash and smash its way through. KITT was virtually indestructible. Even bullets could not penetrate the shell.
Now for the tricky stuff: KITT could X-Ray objects and buildings, perform chemical analyses on the spot, analyze people's voices as a lie detector, even eject unwanted visitors. The best part, KITT could analyze injured people's vital signs and call for appropriate assistance.
When situations were getting complicated, KITT interfaced with Michael (David Hasselhoff) through his wrist communicator. And Michael could call KITT to come to his rescue at any time.
Simply put, KITT was in control at all times. And Michael – well – he was the thinking car's man.
