Anybody remember the movie The Cannonball Run in 1981?
I remember the car that appeared black and is called the Lamborghini Countach LP 400S and it seems to me that is like the car KITT...don't you think? I like the two cars black a lot KITT and Lamborghini!
Watch the videos:

lol ya the Countach does resemble the TA but the biggest visual cue is the front spoiler above the bumper. It does look a lot like SPMKITT but looking at it from the rear it is hard to see KITT. Now I do remember that there was a TA that looks more like KITT in Cananball Run 2
If they remade this movie in 1985 you can bet KITT would have been in it

.
You can see him in the new Gumball Rally though.

Thanks, Josch.
These images of the car that says "Super Máquina" you mean "Knight Rider" and Portugal is "O Justiceiro". I like fantastic cars a lot Pontiac Firerbird Trans-Am Super-Cars KITT and Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang.
It is also the black car Lamborghini Countach LP 400S and the movie The Cannonball Run! But I liked the black car Lamborghini Countach LP 400S was the TV series Knight Rider.

Boy Glasslite sure did plagiarize KR. I wonder if NBC/Universal ever went after them? Most of this stuff looks international anyway.
