The image above showed 3 different versions of K.I.T.T. The first one is the original looks that appeared on 1982 TV Show. The second appeared on the 2008 version of Knight Rider. The third one however, is the newly modified version of K.I.T.T which I personally like the most.
K.I.T.T stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand or Knight Industries Three Thousand in the 2008 version of Knight Rider. The car is a new version of a K.A.R.R (Knight Auto-Cybernetic Roving Robotic-Exoskeleton). The K.A.R.R itself is storied as a failed production of a robot car who have a desire to exterminate the human and hence become a natural enemy of K.I.T.T.
Armed by weapons, this car is used to fight against other cars in a Death Race. This car is not exist for public sale since an armed cars will be illegal in any country and will endanger people who are around it. The original and unarmed version of this car is Ford Mustang GT. It’s available for public sale.
In the movie, this car’s used by two most talented detective in Miami to chase their criminals. Although this car was used in a lot of dangerous chasing mission, it’s rarely get any scratch thanks to the detective who drive this car very smoothly. There’s a lot of variety of colors for this convertible car but the beautiful dark silver color become famous after the movie has been released.
This fast car will surely impress anyone by the luxurious looks of its body. The back section of this car is filled with a lot of beautiful artistic graffiti. In the movie itself, this car looks shinier than any race cars in the movie when they’re all lined up for a race.
This car is a modified version of Mazda RX 8. In the movie, this car is belonged to a beautiful girl named Neela who is a girlfriend of the main character. The combined icy blue and the thick black color simply make this car become very beautiful when travelling in the night time. I’ve personally think that this car is the best among all of those beautiful cars in the movie.
Fast and agile, this car is always become a winner in Speed Racer movie. The shape of this car is completely unique and was originally based from a Japanese Anime movie called “Mach Go! Go! Go!”. When the real version of this movie’s released, this car has gone through some cool modifications that make this car much more impressive than it was.
Everyone who has seen “The Munsters” remembers their unique family car, The Munster Koach. During the May 27, 1965 episode, Grandpa’s new car, Drag-U-La was introduced. Vampires need a coffin, so the car was designed with a gothic theme including a grille that resembles a tombstone and exhaust pipes that look like organ pipes. The car appeared in one episode, “Hot Rod Herman”, where Grandpa and Herman drag race. The fan reaction was so great that Drag-U-La was added to the end credits.
George Barris designed and created both of the cars used in The Munsters. The cars appeared in all of their movies including “Munster: Go Home”, “The Munsters Revenge”, and the new Fox production “Here Come The Munsters.”
