this is one of KITT's two new modes in Knight Rider season 4 two part season premiere after KITT needed to be fully rebuilt after being smashed and trashed by a armored battering ram vehicle called the juggernaut in Chicago after KITT's molecular bonded shell that made him indestructible to physical attacks and weapons fire was neutralized after being sprayed with a chemical

some behind the scenes triva the full time convertible KITT was built by George Barris and he had to use his personal 82 v6 firebird since the production team did not get him one of the train wreck 83 Trans am they had in time and so they had to buy him a brand new Trans am to replace it that is why the full time convertible KITT is still around today it is on display at the dezerland museum in Orlando also this was the only drivable KITT car that did not have a line lock system for doing controlled 180 and 360 spins so the stunt driver had to pull the emergency brake to do those spins when needed

for the model build I modified a aoshima season 4 KITT kit and scratch built the custom convertible roadster tonneau cover

Very cool build.  I still want a dash like that. I can't decide which I like the best. Your builds in this series or the trivia you provide. Amazing amount of knowledge you have.

thank you and yes the original KITT  has a amazing dash design 
also there are knight rider replica building sites  that make and sell the dash  upper and lower consoles and scanner and front nose and pmd seats the fog lights  that replace the headlights and the turbocast rims and bowling ball hubcaps for people to use to build KITT replicas

Well, that makes sense considering there are other websites that are dedicated to specific automobiles, TV shows, movies, etc.
