Our detective work's paid off on yesterday's rumor on the new KITT (http://jalopnik.com/cars/knight-rider/kitt-to-be-cast-as-a-ford-mustang-in-new-knight-rider-series-327175.php). Now not only do we have off the record confirmation from the "involved parties" that KITT will lose the GM third generation F-body (and legions of mullet-swinging fans), but also that he'll be moving up a few steps on the horsepower ladder. That's right, everyone's favorite talking car (no, not spelled K-A-R-R) will be played by a black-with-gray-stripes 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang (http://jalopnik.com/cars/new-cars/king-of-the-road-shelby-gt500kr-finds-extra-horsepower-300610.php) in the new Knight Rider TV show. And thanks to a very helpful tipster who's preference is to remain anonymous (we don't blame 'em) we've got the proof to show you -- photos taken from inside of the vehicle build facility out in LA where they're prepping the new Knight Industries 'stang for Cylon-like close-ups. Yes friends, this is the new KI Two Thousand -- who wants to touch it? I said, who wants to touch it? OK, well how about just your two cents? Anybody?
