Ford Mustang KITT

NBC made it official - the new KITT car from the new Kingth Rider is a Ford Mustang. There will be three versions of the KITT Ford Mustang used in the series:

- KITT Hero - a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR
- KITT Attack - a super high-speed version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR Hero
- KITT Remote - a driverless Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR version of the Hero vehicle.

The KITT Ford Mustang in the Hero version will develop 540 hp and the KITT Ford Mustang in the Attack version - being a super high-speed version of the Hero - will probably develop a little more (or just have some extra aerodynamic body parts).

Press Release:
As “Knight Rider” — NBC’s iconic 1980s television classic that became a runaway success, comes roaring back to life on the network with an updated sequel that will air as a two-hour movie event on Sunday, February 17 (9-11 p.m. ET) — NBC unveiled the new customized KITT Ford Mustang to be featured in the series in a press event held at NBC’s Burbank Studios today.

The movie stars Justin Bruening (”Cold Case,” “All My Children”), Deanna Russo (”NCIS,” “The Young and the Restless”), Sydney Tamiia Poitier (”Veronica Mars,” “Grindhouse”) and Bruce Davison (”Breach,” “Close to Home”). In addition, David Hasselhoff (NBC’s “America’s Got Talent”) — who starred in the popular lead role as Michael Knight for four seasons during the original series — returns as the same character in a special guest-star appearance. Will Arnett (NBC’s “30 Rock,” “Blades of Glory”) will provide the voice of KITT. Dave Bartis (”Heist,” “The O.C.”) and Doug Liman (”Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “The Bourne Identity”) serve as executive producers.

NBC also has an arrangement with Ford Motor Company that provides for a unique content opportunity that makes the Ford Mustang one of the stars of the movie.

The three cars to be employed in the series include the KITT Hero — a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that is playing the part of the everyday Hero car with 540 horsepower; the KITT Attack — a super high-speed version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR Hero car that transforms into Attack mode with the help of air-ride technology and specialized body parts — and a KITT Remote, which is a driverless Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR version of the Hero vehicle.

As the original story resumes, the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body — thanks to its creator’s work and nanotechnology — is capable of actually shifting shape and color. Plus, its artificial intelligence makes it the ideal crime-fighting partner: logical, precise and possessing infinite knowledge. It is the ultimate car — and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.

Sarah Graiman is a 24-year old Ph.D candidate at Stanford University, following in her genius father Charles’ (Davison) footsteps. But when men attempt to abduct her, Sarah receives a mysterious call from KITT warning her that he’s a creation of Charles, who also invented the first KITT 25 years ago — and that her father is in serious danger.

Sarah and KITT track down her best friend from childhood, Mike Tracer (Bruening), a 23-year-old ex-Army Ranger, whom Sarah hasn’t seen since he left home at 18. Having served in Iraq, Mike is now jaded and lost and initially resistant. Eventually he agrees to help Sarah and the two set out to discover who’s behind the attempt to procure KITT and find Charles. Along the way, Carrie Rivai (Poitier) plays the agile yet tough FBI agent who has a long-standing friendship with Charles and Sarah. Due to those ties, she is brought into the mix to help in the search.

David Andron is supervising producer and writer. Steve Shill (”Dexter,” “The Tudors”), also a co-executive producer, directs the two-hour movie from Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Productions.

Things To Consider When Looking for Orlando Florida Homes

Buying a home in Orlando Florida can be difficult, not least because there are so many factors to consider before taking the plunge. Through ensuring that you pay careful attention to every last detail, you can be sure that won’t end up out of pocket or unhappy with your new home!

Getting A Mortgage
While it may be tempting to tell a few white lies on your mortgage application, this isn’t always the best approach. Through ensuring that you tell the truth you will not end up out of your depth with mortgage repayments. When applying for a mortgage always remember that you can move house before your mortgage is paid off - this means that there is little reason to try and live out with your means before you can afford it.

When applying for a mortgage it can often be tempting to opt for a tracker mortgage, however you should always remember that it is much safer to go with a fixed rate. When you go with a fixed rate mortgage you will be able to plan into the future knowing there will be no nasty surprises ahead.

Location, Location, Location!
It is often said that when it comes to Orlando Florida homes, that location is of paramount importance. This, while being true, doesn’t always mean what people think. You should consider location out with the prestige factor of living in a certain part of Orlando. How far you will be from work, local immunities, and family members is important - not to mention the likely direction of the property market in that area over the foreseeable future.

Desperation, Desperation, Desperation!
Appearing too desperate to buy a particular home may seem like a good idea at the time - it may make the seller feel that their house will end up in loving hands, right? No! This is the cardinal sin in buying a home. Make sure that you don’t give anything away or you may end up having to pay a premium. Although you may not do it deliberately it is easy to give away some signs that you like a home through saying things like, “this room could be used for X” or “I would put the TV there”. This shows that you are considering what it would be like to live in the house, and it may set alarm bells off in the buyers mind that you are interested. The less you say, the less there will be to regret later on!

Professional Services
Lawyers, surveyors and real estate agents may suck money out of the kitty that could be better spent elsewhere but don’t be tempted to cut costs where they are concerned. Through ensuring that all angles are covered you will be better equipped to sleep easy at night knowing everything is taken care of. There experience can also help to save you money, so you might learn that making savings somewhere can result in making losses elsewhere.
