You can just see that drunk David Hasselhoff back in the show.

Kitt - "Your drunk and not fit to drive."

Michael - "F*ck you."

I've seen rumors about a movie or tv show, I guess it's comfirmed now. Though I am curious about it, might just watch that so called two hour movie :lol:

That's actually a Mustang. :88)

Anywho, I would have actually preferred to see them use the new Camaro for KITT. That would have looked sweet and would have at least kept it a GM.

The Dodge only comes in four doors.

The Mustang in 2 doors.

The Mustang resembles its Grand Pa a 1968 Shelby.

That is the concept from 2006, but test beds have recently been photod and they look just like that.

Ok, after Knight Rider I expect to see the remakes of the A-Team, Airwolf, Misfits of Science and 21 Jump Street. :D

Knight Rider was best left in the 80's. I suppose next, we'll see a revived Airwolf. Although, i must admit, id sooner watch a rehashed Airwolf, the Knightrider.

Maybe.. Airwolf in the middle east.. That would kick ass.

How about Airwolf against Kitt. Come on they did Alien VS Predator. Yeah, ok that sucked also. Forget it.

Nope its the Konigseg (Koenigsegg)Must be a new version. I didn't recognize it right off. I was guessing a Paganni Zonda or something.

THat reminds me - I was at the Airport a few months back, and did a double take - sandwiched in the tiny stalls was a Zonda! Guy must not care about his car because that was a guaranteed door ding!

Look how low the new Kit is to the ground ! The poor thing is going to bottom out with every minor grade change to the road. It would never be able to pull into my driveway or go over a speed bump without ripping it's bottom off !!!

It would never be able to pull into my driveway or go over a speed bump without ripping it's bottom off !!!It is pretty high off the road. I'd say my SAAB is half that distance to the ground. I have only issue leaving the occasional driveway, so I'd say this thing will be able to go anywhere.

Man it really shows you guys know a lot about subs but almost nothing about cars ;) , although I have to admit before taking a closer look I also mistook the new KITT for the Dodge, but that other car is a Pagani Zonda as Subman said.

As to the car question, all you had to do was read the article:
Finally, the character we care about most, KITT, has been officially confirmed as a Ford GT500KR.

I'm putting my money on 1 season but they could be stubborn and make 2.





While we're talking about cars I was at a mates house yesterday who just received a black 58 Cadillac with a 360 in it. That's what I call a good looking car.

You can kill me for saying this, but for me, the best model for KITT is still the Pontiac Tram Am of 1982. I love the show, and the car, and it's still beautifull.
Ok, I understand that in a new show, it's need a new model but, even the camaro, it's not so sleek. But at least it is a Pontiac.

Nope its the Konigseg (Koenigsegg)

No, thats a Pagani Zonda.
