The New Knight Rider Can Morph, David Hasselhoff

Justin Bruening, the star of the new Knight Rider TV series, says his show has a little bit of “Transformers” in it, in that the new Kitt can morph “into different colors and actually morphs into an attack mode”. He goes on: “It grows a spoiler and becomes more aerodynamic than a stock Shelby Cobra.”
