Gill claims that the studio got the cars from Pontiac for $1 apiece, but Pontiac often gave the studio vehicles that had already been damaged from a train derailment. The Pontiac's nose was eventually extended slightly.
Glen Larson wanted the talking muscle car to have a heartbeat and asked Scheffe to design a beam of light like the Cylons had in Battlestar Galactica to be used on the front of the vehicle. A mock up dashboard was used on a sound stage for closeups of the voice box or other buttons. Spare cars were always on hand, and Universal eventually did all of the modifications that were needed. The hero car was the only vehicle that contained the intricate dashboard. Stuntman Jack Gill says KITT's ride height was dropped 1.5 inches (4 cm) from a stock Trans Am.
The nose and dashboard of the car were designed by design consultant Michael Scheffe.
