Knight Rider returns - car magically gets 167mpg

What do the following movies have in common: Transformers, Ironman, Star Wars and The Matrix? All of them put 'magic' in the gas tanks of their machines.
The fantasy that fantastic amounts of energy are permanently at our disposal is going to be hard to shake over the coming years.

clipped from www.tv.yahoo.com After dipping its toe in the modern-day waters with a "Knight Rider" TV movie last year (watch the entire movie on Yahoo! TV now), NBC is resuscitating the old series for a new generation, complete with a new star, a new car (Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR), and a new batch of 21st century crimes to solve. For The Gearheads Engine is a Ford 351 w. 440hp & 465 ft/lbs of torque Transmission is a B&M C-6 racing trans Rear end is a Ford 8.8" rear differential with posi-tractions and 373 gear ratio It has Brembo racing brakes and Wilwood racing stunt brake setup And, of course, because a car's got to have some personality to make it on this show, it still has a voice (thanks to Val Kilmer)… and can even dole out advice to its driver when he's not in the car. Attack KITT completely makes up for any hokey plot elements and weak acting; we're in the very safe hands of Gary Scott Thompson ("Fast and the Furious") and Doug Limon ("The Bourne Identity").
