Wer noch nicht genug hat vom neuen Knight Rider KITT, für den hat NBC jetzt die offiziellen Features, des Shelby GT500KR, veröffentlicht. Einige sind „fürs TV only“ und andere Features sind durchaus ernst gemeint. So hat der Neue, Röntgenstrahlen, einen Mikrowellensensor mit dem er andere Motoren starten kann, eine Drohne (mini-KITT) und das Highlight, falls es einem mal schlecht geht, eine im Sitz eingebaute medizinische Testeinrichtung um den Körper durchzuchecken. Durchaus interessant sind die Beschleunigungswerte … 0-100km/h in 1,77 sek und die 1/4 Meile 3,87 Sekunden … das nenne ich mal eine Ansage! Der 2 Stunden lange TV-Film wird am 17.Februar auf NBC (Amerika) ausgestrahlt.
