Shelby Mustang "K.I.T.T" In 2008 and 2009, the TV series "Knight Rider" was resurrected. However, the role of K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand), the intelligent sidekick automobile, was played by a Shelby Mustang GT500KR, instead of Pontiac Firebird. Aoshima produced various version of the original K.I.T.T. Pontiac, with and without a working strobe light in the hood. In fact, I was able to purchase just the strobe light kit and used this to reproduce the light in the Revell Shelby kit. A grain of wheat bulb was also installed in the dash to represent when K.I.T.T. talked. I put together a little movie showing the strobe light.
