KITT or K.I.T.T. is the short name of two fictional characters from the adventure franchise Knight Rider.
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 is known as the Knight Industries Two Thousand, which appeared in the original TV series Knight Rider as a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
The second KITT is known 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, and appeared as a 2008–2009 Ford Shelby GT500KR.

This film makes no references to either the Knight Rider 2000 film or the Team Knight Rider television series, instead as a reboot.
