imagine the hoff in that
21st century hoff is back..............

Nice car, but I think I'd still prefer the Pontiac Trans Am.

The Hoff already did a Knight Rider comeback in the early 1990s. It was called Knight Rider 2000, KITT was some red yoke that looked like a badly made amature kit (no pun intended) car:

At least with a Trans-Am you had SOME hope of buying one second hand, paint it black and stick those stupid lights on the front

Always preferred K.A.R.R. myself!!

Agreed, the back wheels were well inside the arches by about a foot, and the whole car looked like it was papier-mache about to fall apart.

No sign of who's playing Micheal

That thing would need turbo boost every time it came across a speed bump.

They should have stuck with american muscle cars for this.

The original Kitt was the car that eblonged to Michael Long before he was shot and became Michael Knight.

My question is, how the hell would a cop afford a Koenig?

Michael Knight never owned KITT, it was provided by the Foundation for Law and Government.

Ahh nostalgia...

Michael Long was a cop who drove an 82 Pontiac Trans-Am. He was shot in the face and left for dead in the desert, but rescued by the Foundation and after plastic surgery became Michael Knight.

The car was similarly rebuilt to become KITT (although I don't know about this, as KARR - KITT's prototype/evil twin.. see above - was also an 82 Trans-Am).

Someday, I've always said, I will own one of these cars. 26 years old and still looks great! (IMO)

smash

ye, looks like a Koenigsegg with a bodykit on it...

smash

It's fake lads, don't get your hopes up....

KITT, as Kaiser2000 says, was built out of Michael Longs car.

I really spent too much time watching Knight Rider as a kid!!!

Wake up people, KITT is a Cylon!!!

The original KITT looks like it's on stilts and always did. Although it was a bit cooler when I was younger.

Wisesmurf

For my money kitt has to remain a muscle car for its reincarnation.

Any suggestions? not that many muscle cars out there these days..

New mustang maybe?? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/34/2007v6mustang.jpg

Is there are modern day Trans-Am? If not maybe a Vette, Viper or the new Dodge Charger.

The Ford GT would probably not be practical enough and the Hoff would probably have to fill it at the pump at least 4 or 5 times per episode.

And Wossacks 'vette has the perfect spot for the cylon light!!!

now he can give the bad guys a lift!

I agree they deffo should stick to American muscle.

The 2008 Trans Am looks very muscular indeed..............and would be perfect IMO.

I think part of the attraction of the original KITT was that nobody over here really knew what type of car it was for a while, which added to the mystery !
