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.”

The show is a sequel to the 1980s TV classic that made a star of David Hasselhoff and featured a souped-up Pontiac Trans Am. Bruening plays Mike Tracer, a former Army Ranger and Iraq War vet who has fallen on hard times when he’s called to help out Sarah Graiman (Deanna Russo), the daughter of Charles Graiman (Bruce Davison), inventor of K.I.T.T., who has gone missing. Sydney Tamiia Poitier stars as an FBI agent. Hasselhoff has a cameo as Michael Knight, the original Knight Rider

Also, for fans of the original show, David Hasselhoff, aka the original Knight Rider, will indeed have a role in the pilot episode. No word on how often Hasselhoff will show up on the show, though.
