I like to think it was named in deference to KITT (but most of you are probably too young to know of it). KITT was a Pontiac Trans Am car of Knight Rider fame. You may know the 'Hoff' (David Hasselhoff) - prior to his Internet notoriousity and Bay Watch - he was famous in the 80's.

It was an AI aware car with loaded extra features. Similarly, Trans Am mode appears to have enhanced AI on the Gundam and releases 'extra features'.
