The GT500KR KITTs to be auctioned off at Barret-Jackson. Already?
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL'; In less than a month, the legendary Barrett-Jackson auction event will be held in Palm Beach, Florida. From March 27 to March 30, hundreds of car aficionados and investors will gather in the coastal city to see and maybe buy some of the rarest and most beautiful cars in the world.

Batman’s new ride: the Bat-Pod
We’ll have a complete presentation of the upcoming Dark Knight here soon, but we’ve found this video of NBC’s Today Show introducing the Bat-Pod and it gives a pretty good idea of the new beasty motorcycle. Bruce Wayne has some extreme ideas when it comes to transportation devices… Stay tuned! Read More

Knight Rider last night
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/18/knight-rider-last-night/'; NBC aired its two-hour movie “event” last night and of course we were in front of the TV. While we were pleasantly surprised by the show -which was better than we expected- it could have been much better. There’s been tons of reactions on the Internet, both by websites and their users, and they tend to be either very sour (like Autoblog and its “liveblog” (and most of... Read More
Knight Rider premiere at the Playboy Mansion
The big premiere party took place on February 12 at the famous Playboy Mansion, with Hugh Hefner, David Hasselhoff, Justin Bruening, a bunch of stars and the whole Knight Rider crew. And of course KITT in normal and Attack modes. It might seem like an odd place for the launch of a “family” show, but it could be intended to make it appealing to a more mature audience. Or simply make it look cool. But the one thing to remember was the group of playmates with a Knight... Read More
KITT’s new voice
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/13/kitts-new-voice/'; If you follow the news regarding the new Knight Rider, you already know that Will Arnett has been replaced by Val Kilmer as KITT’s voice. This happened just a few weeks before the premiere, when either GM or Ford realised it wasn’t a good idea to have the voice of the GMC commercial (Arnett), voice a show massively sponsored by Ford. From the different articles we’ve read it’s difficult... Read More
Turn your Smart into Eleanor
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/12/turn-your-smart-into-eleanor/'; Not too long ago we spotted a replica of Eleanor, the car from the remake of Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) and we told you all about it in a previous article. When looking for reference pictures, we came across the creations of Thalon Design, a design and prototyping studio based in Stockholm. These crazy Swedes have already recreated the Batmobile from Batman Returns, KITT from the original Knight... Read More
