Manufacturer Press Release
|
DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 18, 2008 – The 2010 Ford Mustang is going to Hollywood.
The iconic American muscle car, which has outsold all competitors for more than
20 years, will make its TV debut on the Nov. 19 episode of NBC’s “Knight Rider,”
which stars the Shelby GT500KR as the new version of KITT. The program airs at 8
p.m. EST on Wednesdays.
The 2010 Mustang will be revealed Nov. 18 at a special event in Santa Monica,
Calif., and will be displayed at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, Nov.
19-30.
“We’re delighted to bring the 2010 Mustang to prime time on NBC’s ‘Knight
Rider,’ ” said Mustang brand manager Fritz Wilke. “With the Shelby GT500KR
already showcased as the new KITT, it’s a perfect match.”
The 2010 Mustang’s appearance on “Knight Rider” is one of several ways this week
to see the highly-anticipated redesign of the American automotive icon in years.
Mustang enthusiasts also can tune in at 11 p.m. EST tonight, Tuesday, Nov. 18 on
the Speed network to see the reveal of the 2010 Mustang at Barker Hangar in
Santa Monica.
Simultaneously, the Mustang Club of America will host nine regional reveal
events at local movie theaters, where Mustang enthusiasts can see a special live
feed of the broadcast. Mustang Club of America regional events will be held in
Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Tulsa, Okla., Detroit, Phoenix, Denver, Columbus,
Ohio, and Tampa.
The 2010 Mustang will be seen in the episode “Knight of the Zodiac” inside the
Satellite Surveillance Chamber, also known as the SSC or “KITT Cave.” The 2010
Mustang poses as KITT during an inspection and impresses everyone.
During the shooting, the show’s production crew maintained strict secrecy about
the yet-to-be-revealed Mustang.
“The 2010 Mustang arrived in a truck which was backed into the stage. The car
was unloaded, undercover and kept covered until we shot. Limited cast and crew
were allowed on set. The moment we finished shooting the car was covered back up
and put back in the truck and disappeared,” said Gary Scott Thompson, executive
producer, “Knight Rider.”
The 2010 Mustang proudly builds on the car’s 45-year heritage with a
more-aggressive, modern exterior design as well as a world-class interior. The
2010 Mustang also receives the latest in technology, including available Ford
SYNC®, voice-activated navigation and a rearview camera system.
Chassis and powertrain improvements pioneered on Ford’s extensive racing and
special programs have been rolled into the 2010 Mustang as well. The new pony
car will deliver more power and better handling, thanks to the development work
on the 2008-09 Mustang Bullitt and lessons learned through the Ford Racing
Mustang Challenge series.
Also on Nov. 19, the final installment of the “Mustang Stories” film contest
airs. For the previous nine weeks leading up to the Nov. 19 episode of “Knight
Rider,” a 60-second trailer of a short film featuring the Ford Mustang debuts.
The films, created through a partnership among Ford, worldwide advertising
agency JWT Team Detroit and Filmaka, a celebrated global digital entertainment
studio and online creative community, then can be seen in their entirety at
www.the2010mustang.com.
Jonathan Newman has been named the grand-prize winner for his film “Father’s
Day,” which chronicles a father’s deep-seated love for Mustang that finds him
test-driving a rare Mustang several times until one day when the salesman
informs he no longer can – for a surprising reason.
“The overall quality of the work was genuinely astounding and I am both thrilled
and honored to be recognized by such an esteemed panel of industry experts as
JWT Team Detroit and Ford,” Newman said.
“All films that were submitted were excellent, but Jonathan’s compelling
characters and direction captured our attention,” said Caroline Pernot, Ford car
communications manager. “We are thrilled to have Jonathan direct another film
for the 2010 Ford Mustang. Jonathan’s film and all the other great ‘Mustang
Stories’ film will be featured at Ford’s display at the Los Angeles
International Auto Show.”
Nearly 400 scripts were submitted by filmmakers in 28 countries on six
continents and 22 semi-finalists received the green light to produce their
films. Ten winners were selected and featured during the 2010 Mustang launch.
