Last week, NBC unveiled an all-new, controversial KITT, which is set to star in the made-for-TV Knight Rider movie in February. Based on the still-to-be-released Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR (click here for engine-revving video), this virtual Stang comes tricked out with a supercomputer that can hack almost any system; a very capable weapons system; and a body—thanks to nanotechnology—that's able to shape-shift and change color at will. Like its predecessor, the 21st century KITT gets AI from digital effects wizards that makes it an ideal crime-fighting partner: logical, precise and infinitely smart.

It actually looks cool and believable...in a world of "pimpin rides", they didn't take it too far visually.

I assume that a lot of those stats are jsut fantasy though, right? I'm usre it's doesn't go 300mph, much less stop in 12 feet.

ONe question:

Is Hasseloff in it? He makes the movie! :borat:
