Starting at 10 PM BST / 5 PM EDT / 4 PM CDT / 3 PM MDT / 2 PM PDT, the campaign will shift into Overtime Mode:
- Pledge levels and rewards remain the same
- New pledges continue to count toward the final total

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Now engaging "Ski Mode"! Learn more about K.I.T.T.'s included accessories
The 1:10 K.I.T.T. will include two featured items: the Ski Mode stand and the K.I.T.T. Collectible Cutaway Poster.
Ski Mode
All replicas will include a clear acrylic stand so you can rev up your K.I.T.T. display using the two-wheeled Ski Mode! The details of the Ski Mode stand are still being finalized. Updates will be shared as we get into the production phase.
Collectible Cutaway Poster
In addition, each 1:10 K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider™ will include an exclusive K.I.T.T. Collectible Cutaway Poster illustrated by Matthew Cushman.
With over 30 years of experience, Matthew Cushman is a master of cutaway art, known for his intricate illustrations of iconic franchises like Star Trek™, Star Wars®, and "The Orville." These detailed illustrations are carefully researched and crafted over many months, but be sure to follow future backer updates for the reveal of the final poster design.
