KITT's specs
I'm curious about a couple of KITT's features. The main one at this point is the deployment of KITT's rear spoiler. my best guess is this KITT's version of a super-pursuit mode (the original KITT made some body adjustments for super pursuit as well), however at this point, it looks like this KITT is supposed to be slightly more believable than the original, so I cannot be certain that this will be the case.

I think it is the new version of SPM, but why does this car need SPM to go "not as fast" as the old KITT
Re: KITT's specs
i meant to add, not as fast as the old KITT without SPM
Re: KITT's specs
There's a scene right before KITT and Sarah avoid the mercs chasing them on the mountain road where KITT introduces himself officially and flashes his key features on the LCD display for about four seconds. He is effectively a mobile supercomputer mainframe. Some of the stuff listed on the screen was redundant but I will list and explain the key features shown..
Artificial Intelligence (KITTs programming)
36TB of System Access RAM (Allows the car to deal with massive amounts of information)
Nanoskin Technology covering the vehicle. (Gives the car the ability to change it's appearance)
Nanobot Repair (Gives the car near-instantaneous ability to repair itself)
5G Cell Communications Network Access (This is one way the car gets it's information and it utilized several times in the pilot)
Satellite Network Access (Ties into Prometheus in addition to other global networks)
Encryption Breaking Algorithms (Allows the AI to theoretically hack into any network or computer system)
Autonomous Mobility System (Allows the car to drive itself)
Neural Network System Core (Basically the AI functionality that allows it to think and adapt)
23 Redundant CPUs (Gives the car massive processing power)
Transflex BIOS (No exact explanation is given as to what it is in regards to the car but in the real world, Transflex is a network system used by the military. Since it has something to do with the BIOS I can only theorize it has something to do with network control which would make sense given what happens in the last action scene)
Other specs are given in the teasers and whatever is on the NBC mini-site. Some other stuff is listed at the bottom of the screen but it's just tidbits about how the car can change it's appearance based on what it scans along with some other redundant bits of information. The Attack Mode is likely a predefined physical configuration based on Graiman's own research into Ford Mustang racing configurations. According to what is shown on the screen in the telefilm, KITT can change into any other physical configuration that fits the general mass and shape of the Ford Mustang (Saleen for example) but it has to have exact information from it's sensors or data entered into it's database on those configurations before it can do so.
