Thanks to Knight Rider Historians, I was able to identify several cars in this short. The car you saw speeding through the sand is the fliver car, which was a Volkswagen powered buggy with a trans am shell on it, then there was the back up to the hero car which they showed when Michael and April were driving away, the hero car which is what they got into as they started to drive away and then there were the miniature cars used for the stunts.

At 1:00 it's one of the cars used for jumps that is really more like a dune buggy with a body attached to resemble a Trans Am. Neat to see it driving as we normally only see it ramping. Hardcastle and McCormick used a similarly constructed jump car of the Coyote. The miniature KITT looks better than I remember driving on the water.

[@ThomasFerrugia]

The best thing about this episode is that KITT HAS ALWAYS HAD AN AQUATIC SYNTHESIZER (they just never used it). It's listed as feature K1-A-3 in the KITT kit offered for free to fans during the first season. Anyone who doesn't remember it can easily find it on the internet. I hate when show-runners don't know $hit about the history of the series they work on. In 'Trust Don't Rust' we get a scene of Michael and Bonnie spray-painting KITT. However, in the pilot episode Devon says that KITT's finish is not paint, but instead 'bonded into the molecular structure of the new substance' (this how writers later came up with the term 'molecularly bonded shell').
