Knight Rider KITT goes under the hammer

March 31st 2008 09:30

A pair of Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR from the new Knight Rider (TV movie) series have been auctioned to Ford's Salute to Education charity at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach, Florida.

Apparently, the two cars weren't exactly KR models - they were, in actual fact, regular GT models dressed up as KRs for the movie but with some added goodies such as a supercharger, Brembo brakes, upgraded suspension and exhaust. The two cars sold were the regular KITT Hero as well as the KITT Attack model (a high-speed version with additional aero parts).

And for good measure, Ford also threw in a third car as part of the bidding - a single allocation of a 2009 GT500 KR for base price. The winning bidder scooped three cars for a cool US$300,000 with all proceeds going to charity.

Ford F-150 Super Bowl commercial

February 5th 2008 10:30

In the most outrageous of publicity stunts, Ford USA hooked up an F-150 pick-up to a centrifuge by its two closed front 'looped' tow hooks and spun it around at a force of six Gs in a commercial that aired at the recent Super Bowl.

To demonstrate the benefits of two closed 'looped' tow hooks over the conventional open design, the F-150 was spun at speeds of up to around 97 km/h, thus subjecting the hooks on the pick-up to forces up to six times the vehicle's weight!

No camera tricks or computer enhancements were used in the making of this ad. - now that's TOUGH!
