By far the best part of that article is the "Artists Impression" of what new KITT will look like

 

[Sonea Fifer]

Lets be honest here - the Shelby Gt500KR is a stunning looking car:-

They could hardly reprise the old show with the original Pontiac Trans Am T-top, it would look a bit dated !

I saw a replica once parked up complete with strobe on the front still going

So how can it be KITT, being that was "Knight Indutries Two Thousand"

They're just gonna put a 386sx in a Datsun.

Things like this just makes me prove to my self that Writers and Directors are out of ideas for TV shows.

KITT can only be a Trans Am.
The fact he would be a beat up and knackered Trans Am today leads to no end of opportunities.

But then thats why we are awesome, and TV show producers are not.

 

[Wolf11]

Why oh why do they have to ruin it

 

[Dougsnake]

Wasnt to happy to hear about the remake but now im even more anti-remake sure the shelby is a nice hot rod car but surely they could have found a way to make a souped trans am 07 stylie (sure chip foose could make one) but id reckon its more to do with sponsership or something.
Lets see if they make or break the franchise...........

 

[PinkFloyd]

Would prefer the old trans am too.

If they are going to stick with a new car, I reckon the new Vette would look much better in the part than the shelby.

 

[JBod]

They should use a new black R8 imo (someone photochop one up!)

 

[melbourne720]

How about a ferrari 599?

Photochop a red light on the front - win

NO NO NO NO NO!!

Not a mustang for gods sake. It just isnt right!
Picking from current US cars it has to be a Black z06 with Black wheels!

i'd agree with that.

As it said in the article, its the next logical step;
Knight Industries Three Thousand

I agree.I've always loved the Shelby GT500's and I had this as my wallpaper. The KR means the Shelby's 50th anniversary limited edition IIRC.
