But when men attempt to abduct her, Sarah receives a mysterious call from KITT warning her that he’s a creation of Charles, who also invented the first KITT 25 years ago - and that her father is in serious danger. Sarah Graiman is a 24-year old Ph.D candidate at Stanford University, following in her genius father Charles’ (Davison) footsteps. The three cars featured in the series include the KITT Hero - a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that is playing the part of the everyday Hero car with 540 horsepower the KITT Attack - a super high-speed version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR Hero car that transforms into Attack mode with the help of air-ride technology and specialized body parts - and a KITT Remote, which is a driverless Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR version of the Hero vehicle. It is the ultimate car - and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.
