I couldn't STAND the original show - it was embarrassing to watch. I never could figure out if Kitt was cultured or just gay.
Nice car though.

Sources with the involved companies tell us this is the real car -- the actual car to be used in the show. But, because "it wasn't working at the effects studio yesterday," someone did photoshop the red light.
Our detective work's paid off on yesterday's rumor on the new KITT. Now not only do we have off the record confirmation from the "involved parties" that KITT will lose the GM third generation F-body (and legions of mullet-swinging fans), but also that he'll be moving up a few steps on the horsepower ladder. That's right, everyone's favorite talking car (no, not spelled K-A-R-R) will be played by a black-with-gray-stripes 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang in the new Knight Rider TV show.
And thanks to a very helpful tipster who's preference is to remain anonymous (we don't blame 'em) we've got the proof to show you -- photos taken from inside of the vehicle build facility out in LA where they're prepping the new Knight Industries 'stang for Cylon-like close-ups. Yes friends, this is the new KI Two Thousand.

I kind of like the ‘Bullit’ Mustang that is coming out in January.
but...but...is it hybrid like all American wish
?
Smart marketing technique to appeal to the generation that grew up with those cars.
Ew... KITT will only and always be an 82 Trans Am.
Besides, it was totally an 80s show. All the remakes are crap. Even the seasons beyond 3 were crap.
Early reports had this as a Koenigsegg CCX.
The Mustang is cool, but a little plain for the concept.
coooool!
A Koenigsegg CCX would be really kick-ass!
From a GM product to a Ford product. That’s an upgrade in my book.
“KITT will lose the GM third generation F-body (and legions of mullet-swinging fans)”
LOL!
Hey!.I resemble that remark!...well, I never had the franchise...was occasionally disgruntled, but I never wanted to be 'gruntled' anyway...but I'll take the car.
