Description
To mirror the original series, the nemesis and prototype of the second KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is also designed KARR in the new series. KARR 2.0. is mentioned in the new Knight Rider series episode, "Knight of the Living Dead", and is said to be a prototype of KITT. The new KARR acronym was changed to "Knight Auto-cybernetic Roving Robotic-exoskeleton."

KARR's visual identity has also had similar changes for the new series. Instead of an automobile, a schematic display shows a heavily-armed humanoid-looking Transformers-like robot with wheeled legs that converts into an ambiguous off-road vehicle. KARR has the ability to transform from vehicle mode into a large wheeled robotic exoskeleton, instead of KITT's "Attack Mode". The vehicle mode of KARR is a 2008-2009 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR with the license plate K.R. KARR.

KARR was originally designed for military combat. Armed with twin machine guns on each shoulder and missiles, the exoskeleton combines with a human being for easier control. KARR is visually identical to KITT in this literation, lacking the two-tone black and silver paint job of the 1980s version of KARR. The only difference is the scanner and voice box, which are yellow compared to KITT's red. Once again, similar to the original character, this entirely different "KARR" project (2.0.) had an A.I. that was programmed for self-preservation, and he was deactivated and was placed in storage after he reprogrammed itself and killed seven people.

When KARR finally appeared in the episode "Knight to King's Pawn", he takes a form once again similar to KITT as a 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR, and is once again 100% black like KITT 3000, the only difference is that he has a yellow scan light bar and 100% yellow color voice module. In the original series, it was more amber/yellow, and KARR's voice module originally yellow-green in the original series. KARR's scanner sounds much lower with much more of an echo. The sound is especially noticeable when KARR is chasing down KITT while he is still in his Ford Mustang mode.
