The new KITT "Attack Mode" *SPOILERS*

[Garthe Knight]

Since there is few information about the new modified attack mode, I thought we could collect everything we read ar see about the new car. This can be rumors, pictures or facts, just please don't speculate.

!!! In case you don't want to get spoiled I highly suggest you stop reading now!!!

PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:

The new Attack Mode will feature lambo wing doors.
I don't know if this is really necessary, I doubt this feature is of any use storywise, but generally I like wing doors.
So it could be cool.

[neps]

While I'm not opposed to those doors - seems unnecessary of a change, what performance value does that add?

Also, I'd question their source of their information - cause they aren't shooting in Canada! and that makes me question their whole report.

[Knight316]

I'm not sure what lambo wing doors even are but the first thing that comes to mind when i hear wing doors is Back To The Future's Delorean doors. Is that what they're talking about?

[epc1122]

the lambo wings go out a little bit more. the delorean kind of swing up, rather than out. lambo doors are more like wings. kind of hard to explain. i would just do a google search.

[epc1122]

thats what i did anyways. when i did the search, mostly lamborghini's came up. its more of that kind of car, rather than the delorean.

This pretty much negates the use of Garthe Knight's spoiler tag. But it's not that big of a deal, nor is it even confirmed this is true.

The DeLorean's doors are called "gullwing" doors, which lift outward and go up vertically giving the appearance of wings. They also actually have more clearance room than standard doors. The "Lamborghini" doors slide straight upward parallel to the car as opposed to straight outward like the gullwing doors.

i personally like the delorean doors much more. other than knight rider, thats my second favorite car. i'm grouping both knight rider cars together lol. yes i love the trans am and the mustang. i think both are cool looking. definitely looking forward to the new attack kitt.

I wouldn't go as far as to call the DeLorean my second favorite car, but I am a fan of it as well. I was suprised to see just how many Knight Rider fans are also DeLorean fans around here.

Okay so I peeked at this one, but thank you, I do appreciate all the warnings. I tend to agree that that source is not reliable. Shapeshifter confirmed that they weren’t shooting in Canada. I would have to say KRO has the best sources in town.
But who knows… they could have made a lucky guess.
Stay tuned to your local KRO channels for all your late breaking news.

[Stylez]

I highly doubt the accuracy of this but if it IS true...HELLO!!! How is KI3T going to get into the action? I guess that's just one more little nuance they can throw under the bus in the quest to be forever "fast and furious". Don't do it, for the love of god!! lol

[adamtrek]

This is how KITT will turbo boost. He's going to flap his doors up and down to create lift for a more "realistic" jump that uses mechanical and aeronautical physics to get it done, instead of a magical turbo boost device or helium in the tires. We all know how rediculous THAT was!

[msKEN]

[Lost Knight]

Those hinges belong on exotic cars or modified "rice rockets." I don't like it on American Muscle/Ponycars.

[Kaine]

yeah, i don't see the sense in that.
charles graiman might be a scientist, an inventor and maybe a technic nerd, but he definately is no car tuner... so why would he build lambo-doors into KITT?
don't get me wrong... that's a nice feature for tuned cars in generell, i just don't see it fit for KITT

[::Jon::]

Okay... I remember the original KITT having the ability to whack a bad guy that running past by opening his door.
This would have the effect of the bad guy rolling over the door and landing on his head or back.

These doors may smack the bad guy across the head.

Neat - but weird.

[knightnx]

pointless?

turbo boost, super pursuit, ski mode? nope doors open upward

please let there be more

[Judd]

I like the new doors. Look wise it's interesting.

[Lost Knight]

msKEN,

That's a picture of a random Mustang that happened to have the Lamborghini hinges installed, not the actual car being used for K.I.T.T. for the series, correct?

[Sue]

Looking at that picture my thought is that these doors would block the actor’s faces from the camera. It looks kinda cool to me… but it is not KITT nor should it be.

LOL



I hope Kitt doesnt end up looking anything like that pic. Lambo doors eh?, whats next an Ironing board sized spoiler?, Pearl paint job, hydraulics, neons, big ass stereo system? this is NOT the Fast & Furious.

[Stylez]

I wonder if they're going to add that fartcan sound to the exhaust too, you know the ones typically on 4 cylinder imports? I mean why not right, means it's fast and cool and a little furious, NBC should make the tailpipe look like a snake too!! Wow, now how cool would that be! As sarcastic as it is I wouldn't put it past NBC. lol

[Kram061-1]

to me, the biggest problem since this new show (Pilot movie) has begun, is that, originally, KITT (2000) simply looked like a regular car from the outside, except the nose/scanner. Now, this car, they're getting carried away with half assed computer graphics. Like someone wrote here earlier, the doors swing up, but there isn't turbo boost, ski mode, or any of the original stuff from the first show. If they can make the doors flip up with a computer , why can't they jump the car, or make it drive on 2 wheels ? Gotta give it a chance, though, but sometimes it seems as though they're trying to make it work with cheap special effects........

[knightofthephoenix]

Hopefully this is just a bad rumor.

[PHOENIXZERO]

Well Gary Scott Thompson did write Fast and the Furious..... If this is true I can't say I'd be surprised.

*Face Palms*

[Kram061-1]

it also seems to me that just about everything regarding this new Knight Rider (Almost wrote knew night rider) has pretty much come true.....
