The rumors that K.I.T.T. will be played by a Mustang in the upcoming Knight Rider TV series appears to be true. That is, assuming someone with a lot of time on his hands didn't mock up a Hoff-ified Mustang just for the hell of it. That's extremely doubtful, as the car you see above is actually wearing the body kit of a Shelby GT500KR, which isn't easy to come by for weekend projects. Nope, if we take the pic at face value, then the only conclusion possible is that K.I.T.T. will be played by a 550-horsepower Shelby GT500KR in black with silver racing stripes.

K.I.T.T.'s trademark running red light bar has been relocated up and into two nostrils that sit atop the GT500KR's hood. It's a natural fit, though we have to question the silver stripes that, while a trademark of the GT500KR, are totally harshing on K.I.T.T.'s blacked-out super stealth persona.

General Motors is probably a bit bummed that one of its cars wasn't tapped to play the part. But unless show creators agreed to a four-door K.I.T.T. and used the Pontiac G8, the car was definitely not going to be a Pontiac (we hear the Hoff can't fit in a Solstice). And GM is no stranger to stealing acting roles away from other automakers. Volkswagen is probably still pissed off that a Camaro played Bumblebee in Transformers.

... Uffa io volevo il Touran

Non ci siamo di KITT ce ne è solo una

NNNoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Ma come si fa a fare una cosa del genere????????? ((

interessante la macchina sullo sfondo.

no, no, no... toglietemela dalla vista... sta proprio male...

babba bia che orore

pazzesco!!! Che m*rda!!!

E quando si mette in assetto da super velocità?? Avete presente quando spuntavano mille superfici aerodinamiche inutili, il paraurti aneriore si sosta in avanti e il filmato viene mandato avanti veloce? Comunque crolla un mito.

Naaaaa.....

...KITT può essere solo ed esclusivamente una Pontiac Firebird Trans Am dell'83, ogni tentativo di "evoluzione" IMHO non può essere che fallimentare...

... Il Touran era meglio ripeto : Parcheggia da solo.. fa scappare i nemici.. questa no

ma siamo pazzi ha l'interconnesso!!!!!!
