Galpin-Fisker Rocket 2015 Ford Mustang Hits L.A. with 725 HP
When renowned designer Henrik Fisker approached his longtime friend and colleague, Galpin Auto Sports manager Beau Boeckmann, with advanced design sketches for a super-tuner 2015 Ford Mustang, the two wasted no time. That was just after the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, back in August. Less than four months later, the 725-hp Galpin-Fisker Rocket is turning heads at the 2014 Los Angeles auto show. Better yet, the two muscle-car maniacs are now preparing to send the super-Mustang into production.
Drawing from the classic Shelby and Ford Mustangs of the 1960’s and 1970’s, Boeckmann and Fisker built the carbon-fiber-bodied Galpin-Fisker Rocket as neither a replica nor a retro car. The sixties attitude is palpable, but the Rocket’s design also builds heavily on the modern lines and cues on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT on which it is based. The familiar Mustang logo gallops across a hexagonal carbon-fiber grille, split horizontally by an aluminum bar. The Galpin-Fisker Rocket’s new face sits on top of a carbon-fiber front splitter, which is matched with enlarged front intakes and two massive hood scoops that help cool the car’s 725-hp V-8 engine. Custom side skirts, flared fenders, brake-cooling side skirts (for the 15-inch Brembos), a rear diffuser, and a rear decklid spoiler are also included to improve aerodynamics and downforce.
