newVideoPlayer("/KITTTransforms_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); Somewhere between "Morphing" and "Transforming" is the very Team America-ish "Valmorphanization." That's the term we feel best using to describe what KITT's doing in this one minute clip from the new Knight Rider TV show premiering September 24th on NBC. As you'd expect, KITT is apparently fitted with a current Ford lineup-limiter, only letting him "valmorphanize" into Ford products. Which explains why he's able to "valmorphanize" into a Ford F-150 FX4 pickup truck rather than the more appropriate "Ranchero" form factor we hoped for when we heard about his plethora of new looks yesterday . Now we're only left wondering when Ford comes out with a special "Knight Rider" edition F-150. Like the Harley-Davidson version, we're assuming the truck bed won't be big enough to hold KITT. Also, note the Shelby cobra that's...

newVideoPlayer("/turbo-boost.flv", 494, 371,""); It's official — "Turbo Boost" is back for KITT. One of the biggest disappointments in the Knight Rider made-for-TV movie was the total lack of KITT's signature, once-per-show super-move — turbo-boost. After getting the green light for series production , the new Knight Rider series has already calmed our fears the super-speedy feature was overlooked. NBC's released this short promo clip with a very un-Kilmer like KITT saying "just wait until you see my turbo-boost." We will, oh Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR -bodied KITT, we will.

newVideoPlayer("KnightRiderNew_gawker.flv", 463, 287,""); Well, our good friends at Knight Rider Online have the scoop yet again on a new commercial for the new Mustang-ed up Knight Rider mini-series. The show'll be airing on the February 17th. The commercial? From what we understand, that aired last night on Conan O'Brien. The one new bit of info we're able to glean from the 30-seconds of 'stang-love is we get to see KITT's voice modulator for the first time. Oh yay. Want to see the other commercials? They're here , here and here and oh yes, here . We're going to get back to covering the Chicago Auto Show now. [via Knight Rider Online ]

newVideoPlayer("KITTCommercial_gawker.flv", 475, 376,""); We hate valet service. Nothing gives us more fear on earth than dropping off a vehicle -- any vehicle -- to some pimple-faced 17-year-old with a heavy left foot and an inability to discern 2nd from reverse. Looks like the Mustang-derived KITT's got the same security issues we feel in this new commercial for the new Knight Rider movie/series/sequel dubbed "Valet." We just want to give the new GT500KR look-a-like a big hug and tell him everything's gonna be alright...don't cry...there, there. galleryPost('KITTKnightRiderMustang', 6, 'KITT Is A Mustang Sally');[via Knight Rider Online ]

newVideoPlayer("KnightRiderNewVid_jalopnik.flv", 475, 326,""); var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/television/New_1_30_clip_of_new_Knight_Rider_show_still_no_turbo_boost'; No turbo boost in the first 15-second teaser of the new KITT , no turbo boost in the second, 30-second commercial for NBC's new Knight Rider , and now we're here. How sad is it there's now a third video -- a minute-and-a-half clip from the new Knight Rider movie/show now up on the interwebs, yet still no turbo boost. Yes, sure, there's plenty more moments of the new Shelby-fied Ford Mustang GT500KR-powered KITT in action and there's the new shots of the new Hoff-ness, Mike Tracer. There's even some great ignition sounds of the big 550-HP 'Stang -- but there's certainly no boost of a turbo nature. Although we hear Ford's working on that. galleryPost('KITTKnightRiderMustang', 9, 'No Turbo Boost Means No Happiness');[via Knight Rider Online ]

newVideoPlayer("KnightRider30Second_gawker.flv", 475, 356,""); The second commercial for the new Knight Rider's aired just weeks after the first and it's got us thinking. OK, so the new K.I.T.T.'s a Mustang GT500KR , right? And it's got all these great standard features, right? 550 horses under the Cylon-like hood, race-tuned suspension, Xenon headlights with infrared, military satellite access, and all the rest. But where's the turbo boost, eh? Seriously -- that's all we want -- a little bit of turbo boost. Is that too much to ask for? We don't think so. galleryPost('KITTKnightRiderMustang', 9, 'Turbo Boost Says What');[via Knight Rider Online ]

newVideoPlayer("NewKnightRiderTrailer_gawker.flv", 475, 376); If anyone happened to have been watching NFL Football last night on NBC, they'd have seen a quick 15 seconds of promo reel that'll make their heart beat just a few seconds faster this morning. The rainbow-colored network dropped their first promo for the new Knight Rider TV movie. It was only a few seconds long, but as soon as we saw the Ford/Shelby GT500KR logo flashing red lights and the voice of Will Arnett they had us at hello. galleryPost('KITTKnightRiderMustang', 9, 'KITT Is A GT500KR');

newVideoPlayer("KnightRiderStripper_gawker.flv", 475, 376); So we had kind of a big n' exclusive story yesterday -- something about K.I.T.T. being a Shelby GT500KR Mustang in the new TV series. Yeah, that was it. Despite what we're sure will be a great deal of hoopla surrounding the arrival of the new talking Knight Rider ride, a great number of us still have fond memories of the old F-body Pontiac. We wanted to give you an opportunity to breathe in those fond memories and let them alight in your brain one more time -- and then watch as they get ripped to shreds by the unbelievably horrifying Knight Rider stripper. America may have talent, but she certainly did not. Watch the full train wreck above which may or may not be safe for work, depending on if you're allowed to see ladies wearing next to nothing. galleryPost('KITTKnightRiderMustang', 3, 'Mustang Is The New F-Body');
