Note the position of the fuel filler cap - it takes more than a body kit to move the gas cap from the upper left, right above the wheel, to any other location shown in the "kits". The "SMAUDI" (not shown here, but viewable elsewhere) is the most telling - the gas cap there is near the roof, right side, behind the wheels, right where it is on the original car. Right where it can't be in a SmartCar without crossing the passenger compartment. -- Tim -- Yep, they’re Photoshopped.

Thanks for the showing the Trailer for Knight Rider, Look's exciting ! Something just as exciting happened in downtown Toronto, KITT was doing a public relation Event, It just arrived at the PR Event, wasn't there for 60 seconds and was stolen in front of a crowd of people that came to see KITT. Looks like they were seeing GONE IN 60 SECONDS instead. I hope the budject for Knight Rider,included enough for more than One KITT to be built ! Hey There Fireball !

There are four give-aways though: 1.The cars are all too low to be Smarts. 2.The wheels and brakes are all too large - notice car 6, the real Smart, is tall and has the standard Smart wheels. 3.The driver position is much too close to the windshield. 4.The Porsche Carrera GT has Porsche ceramic brakes and monobloc calipers; no way that would fit on a Smart. It is also being driven by the great rally champion Walter Roehrl, a consultant to Porsche who would not be driving such a Smart. Finally, the stone wall to the right of the orange Lambo has been pieced together very poorly in PhotoShop, as has some of the foliage to the left of the car. But... they are cool.
