KARR was the original prototype of the first KITT ( Knight Industries Two Thousand ) but to mirror the pattern of the original series, the nemesis and ( failed ) prototype of the second KITT ( Knight Industries Three Thousand ) is also designated as KARR in the new series.

KARR is apparently a new character just like the Knight Industries Three Thousand, and the acronym now stands for Knight Auto-Cybernetic Roving Robotic-Exoskeleton.

The vehicle mode of KARR is a 2008 Shelby GT500KR with the license plate initials K. R.

KARR is voiced by Peter Cullen of " Transformers " fame, who also voiced the first appearance of KARR.

It is unclear if KARR had the same nano repair function as KITT, nor if his A. I.

KARR ( Knight Automated Roving Robot ) is the name of a fictional, automated, prototype vehicle featured as a major antagonist in two episodes of the television series Knight Rider and was part of a multi-episode story arc in the 2008 revived series.

KARR is the prototype version of KITT, originally designed by Wilton Knight and built by his company Knight Industries.

Unlike KITT, whose primary directive is to protect human life, KARR was programmed for self-preservation, making him a ruthless and unpredictable threat.

When two thieves break into the warehouse where KARR is " sleeping ", they unwittingly reactivate him, and he escapes.

Michael and KITT are then sent to recover KARR before anyone is hurt.

KARR is blown to pieces, but Michael and KITT survive the impact.

Originally, KARR appeared identical to KITT, with a red light scan bar, and the only physical difference was a greenish-yellow LED voice modulator on his dash ( KARR's voice modulator is the prototype to the one seen on KITT from the mid first season onwards ).

His self-preservation directive is no longer in play when KARR is close to exploding after receiving severe damage ; he willingly turbo-jumps into a mid-air collision with KITT hoping that his own destruction would also spell his counterpart's.

It is stated that KITT, KARR and the base back-up computer are the only systems able to run the program, and leaves Dr. Graiman with only one conclusion: KARR is still out there, and someone is trying to reactivate him.

chip is removed and delivered by Torres to the NSA, where it is installed into KARR.

KARR was later deactivated and placed in storage while KITT was given to his new operator, Michael Knight ( the new identity of Michael Long ).

KARR was still damaged after the last encounter with KITT and forced his new driver, John, to disguise him and then drive him around to carry out his plans.

Given the short nature of the battle and the ambiguity of KARR's fate, it is possible that the new KARR might return yet again, although in the following episode entitled " Exit Light, Enter Knight " Mike is told that the KARR project has been permanently abandoned.

Garthe outfitted KARR with new weapons and copied his processor for an army of robotic enemies, culminating in a rocket armed with a laser that could kill thousands.

Players could drive KITT through 15 missions and meeting characters from the show like Devon, Bonnie, KARR and Garthe Knight.

He has played Coran, Stride the Tiger Fighter, and King Alfor in the Lion Voltron series, the transforming spaceship / robot Ramrod in the 1980s anime series Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Commander James Hawkins in the Vehicle Voltron series, Eeyore in the Winnie-the-Pooh series, KARR in Knight Rider, Antor and Bomba, and Gunner, in Dino-Riders, Airbourne, Nemesis Enforcer and Zandar in G. I.

He also had a voice part in the 1984 motion picture Gremlins, as a gremlin, and in both the first season of the Original Knight Rider Series and the first season of the 2008 Knight Rider Series as KARR.

His predecessor was KARR, the Knight Automated Roving Robot.

However, the latter did not occur and KARR was placed in storage and forgotten following the death of Wilton Knight.

" Peter Cullen reprised his role as the voice of KARR in the 2009 Knight Rider episode, " Knight to King's Pawn.

The KARR acronym now stands for " Knight Auto-cybernetic Roving Robotic exoskeleton " and instead of an automobile, a schematic display shows a humanoid-looking robot with wheeled legs that converts into an ambiguous off-road vehicle.

When KARR finally appears in the episode " Knight to King's Pawn ", he takes a form similar to KITT as a 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR, but has an amber-colored scanner.

KARR is in both Knight Rider: The Game and its sequel.
