News about NBC’s remake of Knight Rider has been trickling in steadily over the last few weeks. Earlier this month, we learned that soap star Justin Bruening would be playing the lead role in the miniseries that could turn out to be a backdoor pilot for a full series if all goes well. Later on in the month, Moviehole.net reported some juicy details about the role Hasselhoff would play in the in the remake. And now, another source has posted pictures of K.I.T.T.!
In the original Knight Rider series, Michael’s infamous talking-car-sidekick was a black Pontiac Trans Am. Obviously the remake is going to have quite a few upgrades and according to jalopnik.com, one of the shinier features of the miniseries will include a totally new K.I.T.T. The site included pictures of new-K.I.T.T., which is a black 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang. The site didn’t mention exactly where they got these photos because their source wished to remain anonymous.
K.I.T.T.’s body wont be the only thing different about the chatty automobile in the remake-miniseries. According to Moviehole, William Daniels (whom in addition to doing the voice for the original K.I.T.T., you may remember as playing George Feeny in Boy Meets World) will not be returning to play the voice of K.I.T.T. for the remake.

Well I myself think that the new show is outstanding. Love the new K.I.T.T. Think that the only thing I would like to see different is to see more of the new gadgets and performance of the car. Would also like to see more destruction of buildings and other cars from K.I.T.T. Hope we get more seasons from this one then we did from the original.
i recon that the mustang is not good an then saying y not change the car back to the the transam but with added features back when knight rider first started it was a state of the art prototype back then now a days its ancient so y not make the car transform or something keep it to the knight rider orignal an all butt we r in the yr 2008 u kno lol
Hollywood is retarded! You don't remake Herby the Lovebug using a Scion Shoebox, you don't remake Dukes of Hazzard using a Porsche, so why butcher Knight Rider with that boxy bulldog Mustang? Don't get me wrong, the Mustang is nice, but does it fit the role of KITT? Hell no, not even close. This show is suicide on NBC's part because fans of the original are going to hate this from the get-go. The whole car looks like someone's crappy Photoshop. The functions are lame; 80's KITT's Turbo Jump and wall-crashing abilities are better than K3000's Google Search and Nanobots anyday. The dialogue is too PC, even for me (a gay male). The "Maybe that's why 75% of marriages end in divorce" joke was unecessary, as were the lesbian FBI agents. Fred Phelps and WBC would probably have a field day with this show, lulz.
This would’ve made a way better KITT, if only NBC waited.

oh get over it people i mean who cares who stars in it besides the Hoff. Atleast it's trying to come back.. geez give them a break plus Daniels is prolly retired or something. I cant wait to watch.
to the producers of the show.
you guys are totaly pathetic, how do fuiger that a mustang fits.
considering the first KITT was a trans am, why not use the new Camaro.
or at least the vett you had converted for the new KITT.
at least that car was cool.
and whats with the big red nostrals the new KITT was unthoughtfully
given.
STUPID!!!
hi guys,
I saw all of your comments.I'm a big mustang lover and also i have to say knight Rider was the first english tele series i never missed when it was on air.
I never thought that i will find a mustang between something like this.yes it's got big muscles but i don't see it anywhere close to the old KITT car.just because they add some visual effects on somthing they can't replace the legendary KIIT 2000.
I think they have to replace this car to a something looks like a real high tec before it is too late.i don't remember it's air dates but i don't think it will be a bigger hit than the old one.
I think that there is way too much negativity in these comments.I was a big fan of the Knight Rider show and think it might be nice to see the future of Knight industries.Remember how everyone and thier dog complained about Battlestar Galactica and the changes there but once they saw it they pretty well put thier fat feet in the only useful place they belonged ...thier mouths! Oh yeah and let's not forget the whole Star Trek TNG fiasco and how all of the negative Nancies bitched aboput there being a old bald guy playing the new Kirk.Now it is considered by many people to be the best out of the 5 series that were made for the Trek universe..and there has been what..4 TNG movies? I think that the new mustang is a wicked looking car that goes back to the way cars should be made,as muscle! Give the show a chance before opening that fat mouth of yours and let the guys that get paid for this do thier jobs ,after all I don't see any of you asses making any million dollar shows to base your opinions on do I? Fed up with people who have thier feet up thier a*ses instead of thier mouths!
Oh and as for the battle mode comment by Brandon...Actually the original KITT had a battle mode fyi in the last few seasons of the show.It kind of looked like the new mustang with all the air intakes and ports on it(can this be a coincidence?)Try to do a tiny bit of research before you spout garbage that you don't know about .It just makes your IQ quite apparent when you soil the world with your crap!
Well, that's it, the last of my childhood remnants have been destroyed. A frakking Ford Mustang???!!!??? Nothing against Mustangs, I do like the new look of them, but come on!!!! I vehemently hate Ford!!!! Fords didn't work for Team Knight Rider, why do the producers thing it's going to work now. I found the perfect car that would be better for Knight Rider: the Dodge Challenger 2008 concept car. True, it's not the T-Top, but it's a hell of a lot better than that fugly tricked out pimp my fast and furious ball-mobile they paid someone at West Coast Customs to totally frak up. Go ahead and Google it; prove me wrong.
And, there's a battle mode? A frakking battle mode??? When did Knight Rider become Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors???!!!??? Okay, bare with me: Knight Rider was first, then Viper was Knight Rider mixed with a little bit of Transformers, then the (horrible) Transformers film was made, and now Knight Rider is ripping off Viper which was influenced by Knight Rider to begin with!?! Somehow, Michael 'let's screw this up with plot holes, MTV-esque camera edit cuts, lots of Apple CGI FX and no character development or script plot' Bay is involved in this someway. I feel like I'm going to watch this and then feel the same way as I did when I watched Transformers last summer. At least the guy who did Optimus Prime's original cartoon voice did Prime. Was William Daniels even considered to pass the torch to the new guy?
I could be wrong but couldnt they find a better car to make KITT into. I understand that they couldnt get the original voice actor to do kit but couldnt they find some one brittish to fill the role or at least a better actor than the one they chose? it sounds to me like this is going to be really disapointing and they should pause it right now and rework there ideas to suite the fans that will support the show. if they give the fans what they want then they will have a definate hit on there hands!
that is one ugly car! I hate it! I hate it so much it makes me angry.
and if kitt's old voice actor is not on at least this just crushes my dreams of a new kitt.
I can live with the son of michal knight taking over though (i rather have hasslehof on the show is some role too though) but the new Kitt sucks. This just has made me really disipponted.
That does not look anything close to high tec looks like a car some kid tried to mod to look like the old kitt and failed.
Remeber the series Viper it has a sweet car it was a Viper ver high tec.
And it morphed into a car that did not exist and still looked sweet.
Even the TV movie knight rider 2000 had a car that did not exist and it looked sweet.
