Vehicle Description
This 2008 Mustang was the primary car in the 2008 Knight Rider
movie. It is called the ?Hero?? car and was used for almost all of
the filming of the movie. The second car was called the ?Attack??
car which featured a different grill and spoiler and thus had a
much more modified look. In reality this car was the star of the
movie. It is a true one-of-one car. \r\nThis car was specially
built by Ford to star in the made for TV movie that brought back
the K.I.T.T. car. The car was supposed to look exactly like the
upcoming Shelby Gt500KR which was not ready for market. Thus Ford
took a 2008 GT Mustang and turned it into the KR Knight Rider
versus King of the Road. Since the car was going to be used for
stunts, it featured a Ford Racing Whipple supercharger bolted to
the 4.6 motor producing over 500 HP. The car also has an automatic
transmission that is preferred for stunts and also actors
concentrating on their lines. Other added parts are a Ford Racing
handling package, high-flow Ford Racing X-pipe with Ford Racing
muffler, 6 piston Brembo brakes, genuine Shelby GT500 fiberglass
hood and spoiler, 20?? Shelby wheels, and most importantly, the
K.I.T.T sweeping red lights inserted in the hood scoop. This was
all done by the Ford Team specifically for the movie. The interior
was completely modified with custom racing seats, Moma steering
wheel, deleted radio and temperature controls to fit in the
computer screen, special molded back seats, and a center consul
that hid the automatic shifter. Other cool features of this car are
that the trunk was signed by all of the cast members and stunt
drivers and the car plays the Knight Rider theme song when it is
started. There is a CD player in the trunk. There is no rear seat
and the automatic shifter can be concealed as it was in the movie
to make the car look like it drove on it?s own.
