What car should play KITT in the new Knight Rider film?
Thought this would be a fun discussion. So, a new Knight Rider film is in development from Furious 7 director James Wan. For those that don't know, the original Knight Rider starred David Hasselhoff as an ex-cop who became a private crime fighter under the new Identity "Michael Knight," and in help for his cases, he had a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am which was a technological masterpiece with artificial intelligence, self-driving technology, and a stronger shell and frame.
So, what modern car should play KITT?

I think that was for the previous remake in 2008 which didn't last long. I just noticed a bunch of articles about Knight Rider today so I think they haven't announced anything yet.

A: The upcoming e-ray electric Corvette. The car's presence would even make for great promotion.
No T Tops though.

either a c7 corvette or challenger/charger. Charger would be the best since it will look just like the rest of the regular police cars. can't be an asian/euro vehicle for sure.
P.S. charger hellcat if that's a charger

This was my exact thought. Or worse, a Tesla with Elon Musk's voice!

Now that I think about it the Cybertruck is actually quite fitting, still hustling that thing in the canyons and in car chases its bound to flip over or run out of battery whichever comes first!

It will have to be a Camaro. Sorry, I'm being a purist about this. Since there's no more Firebird/Trans Am (or Pontiac for that matter), we'd have to go with itspony tact twin

C8 would probably be the closest new car to keep the wedge shape of the turd-gen.

You guys are forgetting that KITT was high tech. Today's PC world demands a high tech vehicle is an EV.
