Bold Moves: Knight Rider’s “Attack” mode KITT is unveiled at Comic Con 2008

After two KITTs from the NBC remake of Knight Rider were auctioned off at the Brad Barnett show in Palm Beach, you may have thought the madness was over. Apparently, it has only begun.

The show is scheduled to return in the near future, and with it, some ‘interesting’ additions to the “Attack” mode KITT from the first season. As if the contrived body kit wasn’t enough, the design team went nuts with its production budget and added nearly every modification to this vehicle, lambo doors and ground effects included.

Whether this helps Ford sell more Mustangs is yet to be seen, but this is one show I’ll have to TiVo. Well, given I don’t have TiVo, maybe I’ll grab the DVD? Probably not.

The “Attack” mode was unveiled by the new Knight Rider’s star, Hasselhoff’s replacement, Justin Bruening, at this year’s Comic Con convention in San Diego. The Knight Rider enthusiast blog ShadowyFlight.com was in attendance to take plenty of great photos to allow… [Read More]

Saleen’s SpeedLab introduces SuperShaker air induction for S197 Ford Mustangs

Every day, Ford MoCo and the expansive aftermarket industry strive to incorporate the newest technological advances with the spirit of the classic pony car.

Allowing for both style and utility, the CDC windstop is “designed to coexist with the CDC Light Bar.” It will, as the name suggests, halt any air movement within the cabin, a relief for many convertible owners.

In addition to reducing air movement, the device is also designed for Read More…
