For those of you who haven’t yet heard, eighties mega-hit Knight Rider is making a return to the small screen, bringing with it the wise-cracking, smooth-talking, tractor trailer-jumping, sentient supercar, K.I.T.T.

But this time around, K.I.T.T. won’t spend his days encased in the form of a third-generation black Pontiac Firebird. No, the new K.I.T.T. has jumped from General Motors to Ford and picked up about 300 horsepower in the process.

The motorheads over at Jalopnik have managed to not only confirm from an inside source that the new Knight will be riding in a Shelby GT500KR Mustang, but they have the photos to prove it. Black with a pair of silver racing stripes, the new K.I.T.T. looks like a good fit for the 21st century, especially now that we see he kept his trademark oscillating red light bar.
