KITT apparently will be a Koenigsegg CCX.....whatever that is.

Attached a fan-made poster...not official.

Its a really expensive sports car. They are very fast and quite exclusive. The BBC crashed one while testing it on Top Gear a couple of years ago.

Glen A Larson must be rubbing his hands with glee. All those Royalty Cheques. and hes got plenty of "retro" T.V series to go.

Wasn't part of the appeal/plot the fact that it was a "disguised" car? Asides from the not-obvious-from-afar red light, it was a pretty normal black Trans Am. Making it this kind of car sticks out more than a Ferrari would.

I hope "Evil Hoff" with the beard shows up. :D

LOL!

It will be interesting to see how this movie turns out. A sports car loaded with weapons and AI doesn't really sound as cool as robots with AI, large human-piloted mecha or transforming aliens. No matter what, I will be going with my father to see it.

Yup, it was for me. It should be an ordinary car, not an exotic that would turn heads everywhere. But I guess we have Transformers for that. :lol:

Fact: The voice of KARR (the evil KITT) was provided by Peter "Optimus Prime" Cullen. Here's to hoping...

Wow... whatta flashback! I so remember that! Including that evil Michael Knight with the pornstache!

Hmmm... I'd almost prefer a Trans-Am. My room-mate and I watched seasons 1 and 2 of Knight Rider and for the most part the show wasn't too bad. It was always entertaining and even the bad episodes were usually at least entertaining. There were only TWO episodes that we absolutely hated.

The trans-am STILL holds up in "cool factor" to both of us, and unlike me, he didn't grow up w/ the show.

Having a Koenigsegg really kind of makes the TURBO BOOST button obsolete...

Although, it's not going to be pretty the first time he takes a big jump... cars like that aren't exactly designed for rally jumps...

Sad thing is in the 1980`s cars with A.I was cool future stuff now its just tomorows technology.

While the Koenigsegg is a cool car its hardly the sort of car that you can hide in a multi story carpark.

MK "Quick Kitt hide in that carpark"

Krang scrape graunch

Kitt " Michael I seem to have removed my front fender"

MK "Dont worry Kitt Bonnie will fix it for you"

Bad guy "hmmm where is that car..... Black Trans-am no, by the Humvee no, behind the Honda civic no... Oh no there it is taking up two parking spaces"

Kitt "Michael He spotted us"

MK "Oh Balls I knew we should have gone for the Nissan Versa version"

Anyway the car did try to kill the Stig

Peter Cullen should do the voice. Never was a fan of the original voice.

K.i.t.t. is a Trans-Am. Non-trans-am kitt is nothing more than a Knight Rider Go-Bot.

Amen.

Having a Knight rider movie where KITT isn't a 80's TA is like making a dukes movie without the 69 charger. (Not like that movie was any good, but that drift scene rocked)

Where did it say what KITT would be? all I saw was speculation :wacko:

So whats the new capability of this new KITT? Laser cannon (boring...), Nitro boost (seen that...)...I bet even 007 car have more gadget than this new KITT.

I prefer the Goliath than the trans-am. A full armoured semi truck painted in black ravaging the highway, now thats what I call fun.
