Knight Rider 2000 - KIFT Test Drive

Devon takes a test drive with the new Knight Industries Four Thousand

[@3268815]

KITT you still forever in ours hearts. Whit this f... they're killing one of the best shows ever...RIP KNIGHT RIDER

[@giuseppebonelli]

You're right!

[@weallfollowmanutd]

I agree, the Trans Am was by far the best looking car of all the Knight Rider machines and the red shitbox doesn't do anything for anyone, but you have to admit, the music was awesome in this, and the banter between KITT and Michael when he reawakes is fantastic.

[@Tyler-ky3wo]

The 2008 Knight Rider is better than this shit

[@dunkieboi410]

@@Tyler-ky3wo but the original Knight Rider series (taking away the 2000 movie) is by far the best Knight Rider there is to date

[@benaarsify]

the worst part is, the new red knight 4000 model was front wheel drive. 😵

[@muhammadnaim418]

@@benaarsify Not only that, the red Knight 4000 car is not even street legal. It has no mirrors, no headlights and no turn signals. Plus, it looks more like an overgrown woman's shoe than a car that you could drive. Seriously, what was Russell Maddock thinking? Was he on drugs when he created this thing? Did he actually think that this monstrosity can replace the original KITT? Oh, HELL NO! 🤨

[@williamhaynes7089]

@@muhammadnaim418 always thought the rear was ugly... as far as mirrors go, you dont need them as the cars computer is aware of all its surroundsing with its sensors

[@Astraldragon1]

the actor who played Devon was sick at the time so they desided to kill the character. No one could take his place.

[@Astraldragon1]

The Virtual Reality was cool....but I agree 100% with you the Original Kitt was far better. they should have kept the Original Kitt and just updated it's systems and add new things as they did in the original series. The Trans-am look still had the futuristic look to it.

[@josefincastelar1081]

Astraldragon1 the trans am 2002 looks more alike a modern KITT

[@r850a161]

I honestly believe that is better upgrade a design that create a new one (unless there's no choice). Imagine an upgraded KITT with fast access to internet and a lot of new gadgets.

[@steelstreet3765]

What would be cool of they brought back the original Kitt just upgrade with modern electronics that's all. Classic with style .

[@ArthurHILL-xp8bv]

Rip Devon Miles from the cop and Mr Watts. Edward Mulhare Rip in May 24,1997.

[@AndrewChapman]

It's like they were trying to recreate the scene from "Knight of the Phoenix" where they take KITT out for a test drive. Devon is sitting in the passenger seat on both occasions.

[@stevepaza]

Only the knight 2000👍

[@whitetiger123100]

well I can proudly say that Susan Norman the main character, who is Hasselhoff's partner in this moive is my Aunt.

[@steelstreet3765]

How is she doing?

[@sirstrongbad]

That's one thing I've been liking about the new one.. the new KITT is slowly evolving in terms of his personality..

[@classiccarguy97]

This would have been another K.A.R.R if they would have kept it.

[@FormulaManuel]

I never thought about that! It would have been an awesome story 🤩

[@williamhaynes7089]

would be good if Og Transam version of Karr showed up and asked if KITT was hit with an Ugly stick

[@ericmann770]

This, in my opinion, is where Devon could have told Maddock about the mistake that Wilton made when creating KARR and should've had Maddock include KITT's humanity in the four thousand model.

[@BishopTJH]

Actually it was the voice of the guy who was driving the KIFT. He was so into the 4000 that he added his own voice for KIFT until Michael installed KITT's CPU into the 4000.

[@ESP1138]

Maddock was a narcissist. I hated that mofo.

[@benn8793]

Devon said it perfectly. It lacks K.I.T.T.'s humanity. That's all that needs to be said...

[@williammitchell4417]

I miss Edward

[@AchtungBaby77]

How on earth is this car "more superior" than KITT? The original KITT could turbo boost, drive on two wheels, drive through solid brick walls, jam electrical devices, imitate voices and withstand bullets and bombs. Plus, KITT is caring and compassionate and would NEVER hit a deer. All this red clunker of a vehicle can do is make pretty colours on the windshield in Virtual Reality... Whoopee!

[@csgrambauer5852]

Haha couldn't have said it better myself! :D

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

It is electric

[@egg0534]

@@user-jt5vm3mi1w So It's even missing the V8, another reason why KITT is better

[@DarkAngelGuyver]

Actually Knightrider 2000 did fairly well though it didn't get past a TV movie. The car you see there is a Dodge Stealth modified to look like a Pontiac Banshee IV. It actually wasn't too bad a movie, and you were kinda supposed to hate the car at this point since KITT wasn't put inside it yet. :P

[@ESP1138]

The bad thing about using a Dodge Stealth is that the wheelbase is wrong. It's too short. They should have used a 1991 Firebird and converted it into a Banshee.

[@zt1053]

It ranked in the top 10 maybe top 5. Without David who was about to relaunch Baywatch a series woudln't work but it still could have been like Perry Mason airing a few tv movies every year. Maybe David was too busy with Baywatch too even have time for that.

[@ben3291]

The Knight 4000 is cool sounds cool and is better when K.I.T.T is put inside but you cant beat the Trans Am K.I.T.T

[@Tyler-ky3wo]

The 2008 Knight Rider is better than this shit because the Mustang is manly and badass

[@ESP1138]

@@Tyler-ky3wo I completely disagree. Give me a GM any day!

[@happy7117]

"We would have sustained no damage from striking that animal" It sounds like the car didn't care if it hit the deer in the road or not. Maybe IT(the car) thought about hitting the deer, but backed out at the last second. As Michael said in the Pilot ep. of Knight Rider reguarding KITT when talking to Devon on the pay phone: "IT. IT is an IT, not a HE. Don't ever forget that".

[@singletona082]

I just see Devon getting KARR flashbacks in that moment. 'Great it has no value for Life.'

[@ESP1138]

0:37 1:39. That fool Russell Maddock almost created a new KARR 4000.

[@Techrat3D]

Oh well... KIFT stands for "Smoking Weed" in German. XD

[@chiaraj1003]

Finally someone who knows that too

[@fraggyf]

KIFT certainly sounds like that.

[@Dinosorable]

They should've used a modern Trans Am as KITT in this film. That's what I'm gonna do for my KITT. But mine is gonna stand for "Knight Industries 10,000."

[@FluidLoneknight]

the original KITT was put in to this car latter in the movie, KIFT had all of the features of KITT but a new processor that was more like KARR than KITT hence Michael swapped the processor from what remained of KITT in to the 4000 body

[@csgrambauer5852]

It wasn't just that reason Michael swapped KIFT for KITT. He missed his buddy, KITT and wanted him back so of course he would toss out the inferior KIFT to bring KITT back to life.

[@3037795]

By far the most disgraceful piece of crap I've ever seen in the knight industries era. That car is beyond ugly. And Devon is right, no humanity..

[@lukasvillar9328]

e verdade

[@pferreira1983]

Still better than the Knight 3000.

[@Astraldragon1]

I hated the red car. They should have kept the Old Kitt and just updated him as they did in the original series. Kitt's Trans-Am look still had that future look to it. all the updates in the red car could have been put in to the Trans-am. I can bet his Super Pursuit Mode would have still been faster then the new police cars.

[@frankburnside3822]

Looks like the car Homer designed for his brother.

[@stiqman]

Devon is about to say "What a piece of shit."

[@stolmich]

KITT 3000 is much cooler, than KITT 4000, a matter of personal taste. I like Ford Mustangs better, than Dodge's.

[@Chalky.]

Michael Stolz Technically it was supposed to be a Pontiac Banshee not a Dodge.

[@ericdillon1169]

I'm not a big fan of the banshee concept. That car was only to showcase the upcoming Camaro and trans am.

[@DorianMichaelsIII]

@Draknfyre I know that from the sound, pretty much everyone and their brother (or at least those remotely familiar with engines) that its a turbine, but if you look at KITT's wikipedia page, it actually states that KITT is powered by a *turbojet*, the same kind of engine that most jet fighters use. THAT I call BS on-- KITT may have been faster than triple greased lightning, but not even he was THAT fast (not to mention the lack of a fiery contrail every time KITT started up).

[@Pimp2O11]

You dont get a real good look at the Dashboard in the actual car. The only time you see the instrument panel is when the do a back seat shot with the studio green screen. But the cameras never let you see the actual interior of the real car. At least with the original series when David Hasselhoff pulled up in KITT you knew it was the computer car and not a stunt car .

[@procta2343]

One of the knight rider 2000 cars was on youtube channel called videobob moseley, That shows you the car in detail, and i have to say from watching the knight rider historian channel, and seeing close ups etc of the original cars. It looks to me that this movie never had the budge that the very 1st pilot did. This car never had a proper dash at all, just a cheap plastic shell, where with some of the original cars, did have some sort of a working dash.

[@JediMasterLego]

@Daniels1999 the most recent "Knight Rider" tv-show (ie. "Knight Rider [2008]") (in which [the new version of] "KITT" is [the] Knight [Industries] Three-Thousand): "that's the best one of all the continuations/sequels so far. keep it". they also tried to do it as a "re-imagining" of KITT (which, the only way i can see it and/or understand it after seeing the show is, "bring KITT back. but bring him back for the 21st Century").

[@vaggos5]

what is the episode???

[@tthomaselli2]

Maddock's voice is the voice for the car of the future?...: Talk about 'Talking to yourself, a little too much.'.; Lol.

[@markustube.]

This red car was supercool!

[@williammitchell4417]

I know AJ has half of it.

[@WheelofFortuneFan91]

The car is a modified Dodge Stealth made to resemble the 1988 Pontiac Banshee concept.

[@RiderRated18]

What does the virtual reality mode actually do except look strange on the windscreen ??

[@benaarsify]

increase cool factor.

[@RotaryLover]

What the hell is virtual reality mode supposed to do???

[@OldCouchGamer]

I have to ask 2 questions here. 1. Why is the Knight 4000 measuring in km/h instead of mp/h? 2. Wasnt there a picture of the Knight 4000 or lets say its concept at one of the Semis walls during the original TV show?

[@singletona082]

There was a push at hte time for 'in the future everything will be metric' which... I honestly wish we'd comitted to more wholly, and no there wa no knight four thousand concept art as the banshee concept car that served as the inspiration for the hell didn't exist yet.

[@pdennis93]

they used a dodge stealth, lol. i still laugh 20 years later when seeing this car

[@wabmorgan]

@ls1killa not quite. They wanted to use the Pontiac Banshee prototype.... BUT the 4th gen Trans Am on the way... said NO. So instead... they took a Dodge Stealth and modified it to look similar to the Banshee.

[@mellowney]

WOW!! wist niet dat kitt zo veranderd is?? en wat n funkties...

[@TheRealKaiProton]

What was the point of the VR Mode?

[@brifitz1980]

@Bender1729 - Later in the movie the new KITT does go down a river like a boat.

[@singletona082]

the Four Thousandi s a technically impressive machine and i hope it eventually found a place within the foundations' workload. The shell itself though? I get the want to be 'inspired by the banshee concept car' but hte banshee had a black chevron along the hood to break up the eye-searing amount of Red going on, making the four thousand's shell look less like a car and more like a clown shoe. Compared to the visually sublime curves anda ngles of the modified trans am that served as KITT's shell? A severe downgrade.

[@brickman73]

completely agree

[@vaggos5]

oh so its ot from any episode?

[@TheInsanebrain247]

Well, the car did travel on water in this movie, so that would make sense.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

Devon didn't pay the invoice after all of this

[@JediMasterLego]

@Daniels1999 (and if you read the websites/encyclopedia-like websites involving and/or about Knight-Rider, you can see that this (ie. Knight-Rider-2008) is pretty much like a CONTINUATION/SEQUEL of the [original] Knight-Rider tv show)

[@Trusteft]

The scenes on the road look like a video edit made by fan of the show or something. Never seen this before, so it is a TV movie or something? I loved the original show.

[@bluewhiting]

Is is just me or does this style KITT sound similar too the hover car's seen in the Jetsons cartoon?

[@user-hl8zp9tc5o]

Edward mulhare looks much older here than he looked on the ghost and mrs muir

[@wabmorgan]

Try again.... It is NOT the Pontiac Banshee. They wanted to use the Banshee and GM said "NO!!!!" KIFT is a Dodge Stealth modified to look similar to the Banshee.

[@AirGuitarChampion]

ur right he did yank the wheel. KIFT wasnt going to dodge the animal due to the fact it said it wudnt sustain any damage

[@ls1killa]

isn't that the 93-02 f-body prototype? look's almost like my 98 z28

That car is actually a pontiac banshee. It never made it to production but inspired the last model years trans ams. I just wish pontiac was still alive. The next time you see a corolla or 3 series BMW of Lexus is smack that person. That don't know what a real sports car is

[@Chalky.]

Matthew Forsythe No this car is a Dodge Stealth with a badly designed body kit.

[@Adrian1981]

Nope not the banshee they couldn't get permission to use the banshee so they made a poor copy on a dodge platform

[@Hubbblesgirl]

holy beep ur right and thats cool very creepy but cool

[@Astraldragon1]

Devon was lieing through his teeth, you could tell lol and he was right That car lacked KITT's Humanity. It would have been better to put all the new stuff into The Trans-Am the orginal car. Hell over the course of the orginal Series they added news stuff all the time.

[@varunemani]

Whats KIFT stand for?

[@SandStormPower]

Knight industries four thousand

[@IllusivePrime]

Why was KITT dismanteled|?

[@csgrambauer5852]

Because the people at Knight Industries claimed that KITT was antiquated and no good anymore. It was only Michael and Devon that stayed loyal to KITT and why Michael removed the voice of the KIFT and put in KITT again in the red car (which KITT loved).

That wasn't KITT's voice in the KIFT though. That voice is from the guy in the driver's seat. The guy who designed KIFT. At this time in the movie, KITT was in mothballs (pulled apart and in pieces).
