New KITT = Mustang! Reply #2 – December 13, 2007, 07:25:52 AM That's not cool! It still has the Cobra logo all over it. It's just another GT500 with lights in the hood scoop and body by Eribuni. You didn't see the Screamin' Eagle on KITT's hood in the 80's, and it had unique bodywork. Everyone knew it was a Trans-Am, but it wasn't plugging itself as one.That and I'm just sick to death of the GT-500.*edit*I just saw an article on Edmunds Inside Line with more info and pictures. It gets worse.To portray the new KITT, Ford donated six production Mustangs to the film studio. Since the GT500KR isn't yet available, the cars were actually Mustang GTs equipped with automatic transmissions. (Automatics are preferred for film work.) The initial mechanical and bodywork on the prototype KITT was done by Galpin Auto Sports — from MTV's [COLOR="Magenta"]Pimp My Ride[/COLOR] — [/I] Quote Selected
New KITT = Mustang! Reply #3 – December 13, 2007, 10:01:54 AM Ugh, a Mustang can't serve as KITT, it doesn't fit the role at all. If they are going to do a remake and base it on Knight's son who never knew his dad but is now following in his footsteps, they should bring back the old firebird. Wouldn't it be more interesting if they plotted it this way. Son learns about what his father did. Son comes across fathers old car. Son refurbishes the car and continues his fathers legacy. That firebird can still hold it's own in the series, they don't need to use a Mustang that we've already seen hundreds of times over.It is like them remaking the A-team and using a Honda Odyssey as their van.

New KITT = Mustang! Reply #6 – December 13, 2007, 12:59:09 PM Here is a video of it. It wouldn't be that bad if they got rid of the obnoxious wing on the "attack version" While it may not be the best car for the role, I'll probably still watch it. http://jalopnik.com/cars/knight-rider/first-video-of-knight-riders-kitt-revealed-live-333192.php Quote Selected

KITT shoulda been made up as a last-gen Ponti car, not this new Yuckstang.What's next...a re-remake of Gone In 60 Seconds..with a Camaro as Eleanor? Quote Selected
