New Knight Rider KITT Design Based On iPhone
February 6th, 2008
It appears that Apple’s design influence has had a profound effect on the styling and creation for the 2008 version of Knight Rider.
Speaking to Knight Rider Online, series producer David Bartis discussed the origins of the interior design for the new 2008 KITT:
“You’ll see that the interior is modified, it is not the stock interior. It has panels in it that will reveal accessories and technologies. when you look at the most advanced technology consumers have access to now - it doesn’t involve alots of dials and gages and moving parts. You look at the iPhone and you go - thats the coolest phone out there. It’s just a flat screen that you can touch and access anything. So the iPhone interface was actually a big inspiration for the way the interior of this car would look because its very simple, it’s very streamlined, it’s very clean. It doesn’t make sense to build something that looks like the inside of the millenium falcon cause that’s not high tech anymore.
There is no buttons, there is no moving parts anymore. It’s all about how clean and simple.”
Here’s the most recent leaked interior shot of the 2008 KITT complete with touchscreen user interface. The Knight Rider Tv movie debuts on February 17th (we know you guys cant wait).
