Jalopnik, a car blog that takes an irreverent look at the automotive industry, posted the first pictures of the car that will play KITT in the upcoming NBC TV-movie remake of “Knight Rider.“ The car is a new Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500KR. The trademark side-to-side red lights up front fit under the Shelby’s air intakes. We’re not sure how the extra air will get to the 550-hp engine, however.

We’re not sure if we’re excited or totally bummed by this news. Check out Jalopnik’s post to see more photos, and tell us if you think “Knight Rider“ will be a hit or bomb as bad as the new “Bionic Woman.“
