Burbank (CA) - NBC Universal this morning introduced to the press the new KITT, the Knight Industries Three Thousand. It's a Mustang-based successor to the previous KITT, Knight Industries Two Thousand. This Shelby GT500KR will take its turbo boost center stage in 2008. And, just like its illustrious '80s predecessor, it talks.
Comedian Will Arnett will replace William Daniels as the voice of the new KITT. He played George "Gob" Bluth II on Arrested Development, though he probably most well known as Stranz Van Waldenberg from the comedy Blades of Glory.
The new KITT operates in several different drive modes like the original. When in "Attack" mode, this new one gains armor, scoops, and even manages to change its wheel color. Some key aspects of KITT remain familiar, however, even with the new Shelby Mustang design. It will remain in black, for example.
