The unveiling of KITT in attack mode: For NBC’s new Knight Rider weekly series.

Live pictures of world wide unveiling at Shadowyflight.com.

When the Upfront for NBC was announced a month earlier than normal back in April, I had a hard time just trying to imagine what this new Knight Rider weekly series was going to look like after watching the remake Knight Rider movie and while I a huge fan of Knight rider and loved the look of the car in the remake movie that looked like a true Shelby GT500 when you look at the frontend, let along the original KITT and the Knight Rider 2000 KITT, the movie wasn’t all that bad, but not good neither.

With that said, earlier today, Knight Rider fans got to see the new attack mode KITT which is yet again made after a Shelby GT500 and while I don’t know what other fans thought of the new car, I for one have a first impression of what were they thinking? However, the car will not look that extreme in cruise mode and I’ll be interested in seeing what that looks like, but as for the attack mode, KITT has always looked a little extreme to me in the original television series, but not this extreme, I’ve accepted that KITT will be a Shelby GT500/Ford Mustang and not a Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am or even a Chevrolet Camaro, but this attack mode will take a little longer including those wheels and the weird front end, where’s the Shelby in it? Shelby grills are more little an oval, but this front grill is a standard Ford Mustang grill…

Seriously, look at the five photos below and let me know just what you think and what you think of the remake of Knight Rider into a weekly series? By the way, I will not take to much stock in the remake movie carrying over to the weekly series and I will watch the series premiere on September 24th.
