don't know but in euros the car coste is 20000 count 8000 for import and taxex and count 4000 for having it street legale (another light and security test)and then ad 800 for the title. So for the price of a shelby in the states your still haven't a GT in france mine is a pristisine used one ,a brand new gt is 60000 and you have taxe on vehicle that have more than 120 gramme of CO2 emssion and the stang has more than 250 ...
It's why I hate our government they are doing all for degusted you from purcasing a cool car. A lot of car here have fuel economy like 50 or 60 mpg but look like egs on wheels...

Cool cars. I like the silver one. It gives the car a different look. why didnt KITT go for that in the show as one of the transformations??? it would have worked Image :kitt:

By the way, here is a screen shot from Knight of the Iguana of the back trunk cover of KI3T. Notice it's missing the "KR".

But honestly only 2 are parked their? jeez maybe they sold the rest of em maybe? and i just noticed with the car's they are using in the show the GT500KR letters are off of the car but the logo stays :P

Wha, you've got 2008 GT500KR? wow...

Are you getting the scanner and voice orb? :P
I might. Cause in Canada the scanner part is probally illegal so i will only turn that on during the night or something because for some reason at night their are no cops in sight where i am LOL. as for the orb idk ill prob add it to the car :P cause its freakin rocks. And make the sound wave go along with the cd player or radio :) im good at doing that kind of customization stuff :) And its a black one so even better

Keep in mind that the hood scoops in your REAL GT500KR may actually be needed to keep the engine cool, so you may want to think about installing the scanner lights so that they are removable when you're driving. The show cars were Mustang GTs that were customized to look like the KR, so the scoops are purely cosmetic.

As for the Orb, also keep in mind that it's placement would be directly on top of the official Shelby stamped plate with the production number located between the two center air vents. That's the only "official" proof that your car is really a shelby GT500KR and establishes its authenticity - which is critical to maintain the value of the car. Again, I'd suggest putting in an orb that fits on top of the Shelby plate without removing it.

The GT500KR is my dreams' car. I want to buy one of them when I get a lot of money and I will modify it like KITT.

I would strongly advise against making a replica out of an actual KR. There were only, roughly, 1500 made and it will be a collector car. It would be much cheaper to use a regular GT or even a GT500.
The hood scoops on the KR hood feed air into the factory cold air intake. They don't cool the engine, however the 'heat extractor' vents at the rear of the hood do function well.
The center vents plate would have to be removed for a voice orb install anyway. Do you really have a GT500KR K3000?
KNIGHT RIDER RELOADED is a series of movies on Youtube to represent a different creative avenue to the Knight Rider we knew in 2008-09.
