E Online with their take on todays events:

In its stead, Bartis said producers looked to cast a car that was (a) American-made, definitely; (b) two-door, preferably; and (c) muscular, yes.

"Obviously, we thought Mustang was the right fit," said Ford executive Al Uzielli. "And that's what we started pitching almost immediately."

I see they went to some experts in the field for input:

"Neil Epstein, publisher of the fansite Knight Rider Online, sounded cautiously optimistic.
"Once we see some footage of the car in motion, we will be able to better judge," Epstein wrote in an email. "[But] the producers have taken a step in the right direction by honoring the original KITT and keeping the colors and styles that made the original popular."

That's awesome, Neil!

They mentioned the car had 600hp. I know the actual car has that much power, but do you think 'KITT' will have more horsepower?

The original KITT was pretty much unbeatable in terms of speed, but in today's world, 600hp isn't impressive like it used to be. The TKR cars seemed to have pretty stock engines if I recall.

Not that speed is everything, but I am curious.
