knight rider GT500KR

When the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR launches this spring don’t be surprised if there’s some confusion over what the letters “KR” stand for.

While the super car has been known to racing fans as “King of the Road” since 1968, it’s about to star in a remake of the hit TV series Knight Rider making mix-ups inevitable.
The HERO is a standard 540-horsepower Shelby GT500KR and the ATTACK is a further modified high-speed version.

“It’s purely a coincidence and a nice one at that,”" said Al Uzielli a senior advisor, to Ford Global Brand Entertainment the Ford office in Beverly Hills which works to place Ford branded vehicles in movies, TV and other media. “Auto enthusiasts will know what KR stands for. But most viewers will probably think it means Knight Rider; at least at first.”

The popular American television series which ran from 1982 to 1986 starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a kind of modern day “knight”. His partner was an advanced Pontiac Trans Am with artificial intelligence. Not only could it talk, it could morph into an attack vehicle that accelerated to 300 mph, used a Turbo Boost to jump over obstacles and even drive itself.

In the new version, Hasselhoff returns, but the lead character is now Justin Bruening who plays Knight’s long-lost son Michael Tracer. Replacing the Pontiac is the KR which in real-life is about to launch a 40th anniversary limited edition with an engine output estimated at 540 horsepower.

“Blue Devil”

The ZR1 is the most expensive and most powerful production Corvette in history, with a price of about 100 grand ($110,000 for the loaded 4LZ trim level) and an estimated 620 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 600 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm from its supercharged LS9 6.2-liter V-8.

It is the first factory-built Corvette to feature forced induction, and it will also be the first Corvette to top 200 mph off the showroom floor. The idea that such a Vette could exist is certifiably bonkers.

New Maserati

The  Maserati CC will roll out in 2008 for around $96,000.The CC will have all-wheel drive, powered by a 280 hp 3.5-liter V6, through a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The current Maserati line-up, with the exception of the MC12 supercar, is exclusively V8-powered, so it’s possible that the CC’s V6 is a bored-out version of the Alfa’s top-of-the-line 3.2-liter, 24 valve, 240 hp engine.

News

Why he’s number one: Carlos Ghosn is fond of saying there’s no problem at a car company that good product can’t fix. Rick Wagoner has taken that to heart. He’s let his number-one car guy, Bob Lutz, help fix the primary problem GM has had since Ron Zarella was running the show, with his repugnant “brand management” style. All the GM engineers and designers on the Power List this year have contributed to Wagoner’s standing and the company’s refound product success. And some car-guy attitude has rubbed off on Wagoner, who, it turns out, is the man behind the “Blue Devil” Corvette ZR1.
