For many of us car guys/girls we grew up with Knight Rider in the 80’s it was one of the best car shows on TV.
Michael Knight and his sidekick pal KITT the Knight Industries Two Thousand, the highly modified and tech-filled Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The two were always out to help those in need or needed help justice. KITT is one of the most famous TV cars ever to appear onscreen. There have been countless replicas made of KITT over the years and there was even another TV series made in the early 2000s. The second Knight TV series that came out in 2008, while it was short-lived, it did use a different vehicle, KITT was based on a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR and was voiced none other than Val Kilmer.
After the flop of the most recent TV series, there hasn’t been much talk of a reboot of the series, until now. News has appeared online that there is a new movie being developed based on the original TV series. The film will be produced by non-other than James Wan, director of the recent Aquaman film. No talk on cast or plot at this stage.
This brings us to the important question and today’s Hooniverse Asks, which car should be the base for the new KITT ? What car present or past, say like in the last 5 years, would you like to see as the new KITT?
