More pics of KITT, Knight Rider’s car. We remind you that KITT is a Shelby GT500 KR and the movie will have its premiere, on 17 February next year. The new pics include KITT’s interior. Let’s see what Ford prepaired for us.

The new car’s exterior design is as simple as the original one, but its simplicity is the one who stands out. The basic features were kept because it was obvious that the original ideas were very good. The black paint is emphasised by the red light bars rising up from the hood nostrils and the 20-inch chromed wheels can command respect.

The biggest achievement of Ford is the interior of the Shelby GT500KR who has been plently improved by Knight Industries. Information is displayed on the windshield, the steering wheel is half-moon shaped and a keyboard arises from the glove compartment.

As we were accustomed, KITT has an attack version. As you can see in the drawing, the designers tried to frighten Knight Rider’s enemies by converting it into a ”car of muscle”. Follow-up, we can’t wait to see the two-hour special movie even if the only reason is the hero-car.

The Shelby Cobra GT500 should be in the showrooms next spring, 2007. It has a 5.4 liter powerful engine with 450 hp, 450 lb ft torque and a six speed manual gearbox, while Mustang Gt’s have only 300 hp, 4.6 liter V8 engines. The GT500 has an independent rear suspension and, compared to standard mustang gt’s, it`s chassis changes are limited to antiroll bars, springs, bigger brakes and dampers.

It has a retro design, combined with the modern techniques and technologies.The inside gives the driver a great filling, with the leather covered seats. On the outside, the white stripes couldn`t be absent, of course. It also has some Shelby Mustang cues over old’s SVT Cobra stuff top. At the back, it has an air diffuser and a redesigned spoiler. It also has 19 inch wheels.
