The car has the ability to change shape & color, an array of high-tech weapons & nanotechnology, along with superior artificial intelligence- plus, like the original, it talks!

The television movie will feature three versions of the famous KITT car. A Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR as the everyday hero car. The KITT Attack car will transform into attack mode with air-ride technology and specialized body parts. There will also be a driverless remote controlled version of the Ford Mustang.

"I have no control! It drives itself! Which you will probably see in the episode. I have a look of terror on my face," Bruening says.

The new tricked out KITT car will burst into action on Sunday, February 17 at 9 PM on NBC.
