Knight Rider... the 2008 series













Yeey... The New Knight Rider season Started officially. Just finished watching episode 1, twice. ",

AS all the fans are debating, there are lots of pro and cons in the the show and they differ greatly from one viewer to another.


The major debate is about the car.. KITT 3000. As you may know we were fallen in love with the KITT 2000. So anything other is good enough to be the second best. That happened to this car. Although i initially liked the car, after reading all the fan sites i started to have second thoughts.. Anyway, After the feature TV film, they have included a attack ode and a transformation feature. My personnel opinion is that attack mode is more cooler than the regular mode but the transformed pick up sucks :p Most of the fans around the world do not like the ford mustang GT 500 very well. I have to agree though cos there are lot cool designs out there. It think the creators definitely needed a ideal American model :p There were lot nice looking cars in episode one and too than the KITT:( But hte silver line here is that if the Knight rider team understand that Ford Mustang just wont go, they'll just transform it in to a Ferrari, McLaren, Bugatti or Even a Toyota Hybrid :lol:










Have to say that the leading actress is smoking hot. Perhaps too hot to have a Phd in Physics ;) As to the car, I like David Hasselhoff a bit than the new guy. But he is OK.

Droping off from a air plane instead of the old container carrier is awesome. And i love the new KITT's voice. It's cool. But the display for KITT's mouth has changed after the TV movie.:( The new sphere doesn't go with the car very well... And the Transforming is too much fantasy engineering i say. But hay, Knight Rider is all about that .. eh? :)

Another thing that suck is the helicopter that chases KITT in the start of the season. The Computer Generated images are so lame. It looks like a toy helicopter. They should have put a lil bit polygons (resolution) to it ^_^

The bottom line for most of the fans would be they all watch it cos they loved the old seasons. They like the new one but hard to say they love it :p Hope the creators will read some fan sites and learn from the mistakes. Good Luck KITT 3000

As an upgraded version of K.I.T.T 2000, K.I.T.T. 3000 contains many of the same features as its predecessor. However, due to improvements in materials science, computer miniaturization, and other technology advances, similar features may have dramatically improved effectiveness in the later car.

The known features of K.I.T.T. 3000 include:

* 1000-Watt Quadraphonic Stereo System
* 24-Hour Roadside Assistance""
* 360-Degree Video Surveillance""
* 3D Heads-Up Display""
* Anamorphic Equalizer - KITT's most obvious external modification is his dual front scan bars.
* Aquatic Synthesizer""
* Auto Collision Avoidance""
* Autopilot""
* Audio/Video In-Dash Functions""
* Biometric Analysis""
* Computer AI - KITT remains essentially an advanced supercomputer on wheels. The brain of KITT is the version 2.3 Knight 2000 microprocessor, upgraded from the previous version 1.0 used in K.I.T.T. 2000.
* Blood Analyzer
* DNA Analysis Equipment
* Electromagnetic Field Generator
* Electronic Field Disrupter
* Electronic Jamming System - This allows KITT to manipulate other electronic devices, and occasional non-electronic ones.
* Etymotic Equalizer - This system allows KITT to hear sound. An array of audio sensors were threaded throughout his interior and exterior.
* FBI database access
* Graphic Translator
* Heated Seats
* High-speed Internet
* Holographic Projection
* Infrared Tracking Scope - KITT can monitor the position of specific vehicles in the area within 20 miles.
* In-Seat Medical Diagnosis
* Interior Oxygenator - KITT could release oxygen into his driver compartment and provide air to passengers if he was ever submerged in water or buried in earth. This is also used to overcome the effects of certain drugs.
* Keyless Entry and Ignition
* Laser-Guided Missile Defense
* Laser Weapons System
* Mass Spectrometer
* Metallic paint with nanotech enhanced camouflage
* Microscanners - Microscanners are tiny audio and visual sensors embedded into the grooves of KITT's body. They allow for visual tracking and display of anything around the car.
* Microwave Ignition Sensor
* Microwave Jammer
* Military-Grade GPS
* Military satellite access
* Mini-KITT Reconnaissance Drone
* Nanotech Cloaking
* Olfactory Sensor - KITT can "smell" via an atmospheric sampling device mounted in his front bumper.
* Personal Safety System
* Power System - KITT is powered by an aluminum block/titanium head 5.4-liter V8 internal combustion with Whipple supercharger and Knight Industries liquid air cycle auxiliary turbine engine. Power output is 540 horsepower in "Hero" mode, unknown in "Attack" mode. Specifications: 0 to 60 mph: 1.77 seconds, standing quarter mile: 3.87 seconds, 12 ft. braking distance from 300mph.
* Pyroclastic Lamination - KITT is protected by a thermal-resistant coating that can withstand sustained temperatures of up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
* Radar
* Rocket Boosters
* Self-regeneration and damage repair
* Smokescreen
* Sonar
* Spectrograph
* Sports-tuned suspension
* Targeted Electromagnetic Pulse
* Ultramagnesium Charges - KITT can launch magnesium flares, which can also be used to divert heat-seeking missiles fired at him.
* Ultraphonic Chemical Analyzer - KITT has an anelectron scanner that can analyze the chemical properties of various materials. It could even scan fingerprints and read ballistic information off bullets and compare these with a police database. Aside from the scanning tray, the system could also analyze chemical information gathered from KITT's exterior sensors.
* Voice-activated GPS system
* Voice Analyzer
* Voice Synthesizer - KITT's Voice Synthesizer allows his logic module to speak and communicate through his Voice Modulator.
* X-Ray
* Xenon headlamps with infrared night-vision

KITT's total production cost is estimated at $45.6 million in 2008 dollars.

Watched episode 03

Nice change of phase :p Hot babes in bikinis... Cat fight for Mick. It's just got interesting.

It seems like they want to make the new Mike a sort of 007 character. Driving cool cars, always following hot chicks:p I think it is a bit too much. Who wants to chase everything that wears a frock when a hot girl like Sarah is standing by :o But gotta say, Zoe Chu is one hot chick ;)

So Mick scored 2 chicks outta 3 involved in the team.... and it's just the third episode. OMG I like the way they fight for the car seat (it represents Mick ;) )

Underwater animation sucks <_< KR team really should work on their animation. Most of them is Cool. But some look like , they have been done on a old PC by home users :p
