Gullibility
I got sent this in an e-mail today, claiming that it was a picture of the car from the new Knightrider film.
It’s quite obviously a Koenigsegg CCX, since it’s basically a badly Photoshopped version of the first link you get by Google Image Searching for said car. And that got me thinking about what car they would use as the new Knightrider. My first thought was that it would either be a concept car or even specifically designed for the film, but then I got looking for an actual roadcar that they could use. I figured I should probably stick with Pontiac, since at least two of the other Knightriders have been Pontiacs, and then I looked at the sporty two seaters that they make. This pretty much left me with a 2006 Pontiac Solstice.
10 minutes of Potatochoppery later, and I had this:
Sadly, I’m actually quite pleased with it.

Uhh thats not a Koenigsegg, thats a Pontiac Solstice. That looks nothing like a CCX. You can even see the Pontiac badge on the side of the car.

You gotta love people on the internet who don’t bother to read blog posts properly before leaving a comment.

I love it. The current rumor in the mill is a Ford, Saleen or Shelby Mustang. I don\’t mind it being a \’Stang, but the original KITT was sexy. Sexy a \’Stang is not. A Stang is pure muscle and strength. The Soltice is sexy… especially painted in glossy black like this. If affordability wasn\’t part of the equation (the original Trans-Am was affordable), my first choice would be a Ford GT.

The new KITT car will be a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500kr. You can see the article and photos at ( http://jalopnik.com/cars/knight-rider/exclusive-first-pictures-of-kitt-from-the-new-knight-rider-tv-series-yes-its-a-shelby-gt500kr-327687.php ).
Enjoy!
