The Knight Rider KITT is a solar powered 'hybrid'

Yes it talks, it drives by itself, it produces 540 horsepower and wait, what… it’s a hybrid? According to Knight Rider’s executive producer, David Bartis, the new KITT is very fuel-efficient and a hybrid in ‘some ways.’ In an interview with ComingSoon.net, Bartis said:

CS: Was there any attempt to make this a “green” car? Is the new KITT a hybrid?

Bartis: The new KITT is incredibly efficient. Yes, it is a hybrid in some new ways. You’ll see it incorporate solar energy and technology that we could create because it is a TV show. There are some cool new technologies we have applied; it is a highly efficient vehicle.

Even KITT is scared of CAFE 35 regulations.

    Why is everyone scared of CAFE 35? That just means over the next 10 years manufacturers have to stop focusing on power output and on fuel economy. If you look at the way technology has moved since the early nineties, its been all about power: if they had moved in the direction of suppling better economy we wouldn’t even blink at CAFE now. So rather than focus on more output (cars move speedier now than ever), just focus on new fuel economy technology.
