KITT as a Ferrari Enzo - Think About It!

Post by FuzzieDice » Wed Mar 08, 2006 10:49 pm

I would rather KITT stay an '82 T/A if there's a movie made but I wouldn't mind it at all if he was one of these, in black, with blacked out headlights and a scanner on the front!

Looks like a modern-day KITT! KARR would look killer as one of these in black/silver!

As hard as I try, i just can't see KITT ina Ferrari body. Now, in a 4th generation Firebird or Trans Am body, I definitely could visualize that with no problem. My hope is that should the Knight Rider movie ever get made, and if they choose to go with an actual production car to base the body off of, it'll be something like this: http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows ... o_concept/

I would like to see KITT is an 82 t/a I think ferrari's would really pull down the budget and you would get really bad special effects like turbo boost would look really cgi and yeah i think the new t/a isn't too bad either but I would like to see KITT in a car that would be easily made into a replica if the car was good enough.

No way, that car's too bulky and ugly to be our sleek and charming Kitt!

No comment about Kitt in a Ferrari body... but I will say this.... Michael could only wish that Kitt could go that fast. And I'm not talking about that stupid SPM either.

With a Turbo Boost gone wrong, the car would end up looking like this.

KFCreator - I LOVE that Camaro concept car! I hope they make them and make a 5th Gen T/A in much the same style! Those are AWESOME!

TurbomanKnight - LOL! I saw that and I read that there were witnesses saying that the car was going so fast that it was literally AIREBORNE! Like you said - a TurboBoost gone wrong. :twisted:

I have located a model kit of the Ferrari Enzo and thinking of getting 3: one to do stock and another two to mess with into a future KITT and KARR concept vehicles. I know where I can also get other parts and see if I can kit-bash the dash and engine, etc.

OK so I got bored after writting my paper. May I present...

Camero KITT. I was curious as to how this would look after I Photoshoped the pic. The scanner kind of sucks but I think the rest is pretty sweet looking. Although I am partial to my own work. ;) :lol:

i think the camaro concept is good but i am not sure about it for KITT i don't think the nose/grill would fit.

I'm still not sure myself. I think KITT should be something unique with qualities of the old him; such as the pointed nose and OF COURSE the scanner etc . LOL! :)

It'd be interesdting to se that but with a pointed nose rather than a flat one. Maybe if the hood reached the front bumper (ie no grille), it'd be nicer looking :roll:

I really want KITT to be the way he has always been with maybe some extra things like dvd and cd just little things that have been updated but no new spm or turbo boost stuff if KITT was like he originally was more people would be interested in the old show and we would get heaps of people into it. The voice modulator should stay the same none of that crap from knight rider 2000 with the computerised vm.

I agree, the trademark pointed nose and scanner should at least stay. The Camaro is a sweet looking car, but not seeing it as a potential KITT (and don't get me wrong, the photoshopping was EXCELLENT work! :) ) I don't think that is very "KITT". The Camaro's body style isn't "KITT enough" I don't think.

That was a great news story when it happened. AN even better story was the one the "passernger" gave. :lol:


And about that Camaro, scrap it. The design sucks. GM can do better than that. Something more sleek and not so friggen bulky. Add some 3rd Gen styling to it.

I don't think the Camaro is a good idea for Kitt, but I will say this.....

For the Camaro, I would just drop the Chevy logo, keep the body the same and add the scaner, and change the interior.

Although I like the design of the Camaro it really doesn't fit KITT. What I would think was that it would make a great nemesis to KITT because it looks kind of menacing! What do you think?

I don't know the 5th gen trans am could make for a neat looking KITT if the camero actually takes off.

Well like I said, it was more or less just an idea of mine. It keeps us wondering about the movie, if the damn thing ever gets the green light. :? :roll:

don't give up hope on the movie it could take a while to create besides the longer it takes the better it should come out. We want a well thought through movie not just one that's out of nowhere made in a 10 minute coffee break.

I think the Enzo out to belong to Miami Vice. As for the Camaro, I did see an area around the hood where the scaner would go. But I'm sure there will be other cars that could be the perfect next generation KITT.

Even if I'm Italian, I don't think it would be a good idea....KITT (and KARR) must be a Pontiac TransAm! :twisted: 8)
