Body & Paint

Knight Industries Three Thousand has a Metallic paint with nano-tech enhanced camouflage that morphs the license plates and disguises the car as a normal Mustang in different colors. Yeah it is pretty cool that it can turn into any type of car. So basically it's really hard to track.

New KITT can stand almost any kinda standard explosives and weapon. It has Self-regeneration and damage repair. The body is made out of nano skin which can regenerate it-self. Therefore it can recover any kinda damage.

New Attack Mode & Turbo Boost

"Oh that is that good old turbo boost that they use when they want to jump over some thing"

Memorable quotes from the series

Mike Traceur :    K.I.T.T., you try something like that again, I'll put sugar in your gas tank.
K.I.T.T. :    Don't even think about it, Mike.

K.I.T.T. :    I require fuel.
Mike Traceur :    You run on gas. Not hydrogen or plutonium or something really cool I've never heard of?
Sarah :        Yeah. And what if you're in Nebraska and your hydrogen fuel system breaks down? Complicated isn't always better.
Mike Traceur :    Why you gotta hate on Nebraska?
K.I.T.T. :    My system is largely solar powered and recycles 91% of its expended energy, allowing a ratio of 167 miles traveled for every gallon of fuel burned.
Mike Traceur :    So the super car runs on gas. 

Jennifer :    K.I.T.T.'s not another Trans Am, is it?
Charles Graiman :    It's a Mustang.
