Galpin Auto Sports has released a teaser image for a new car, known as the Rocket, that has been designed by Henrik Fisker.
The rough sketch shows sculpted lines, wide fenders and short windows, resembling several of the design elements Fisker embraced for the Karma. Air inlets in front of the rear fenders hint at brake-cooling ducts, while the overall form takes the shape of a fastback.

Unlike the Karma, the Rocket will be based on a Ford Mustang. The pony car has been reworked with a new carbon-fiber body kit and other modifications, which have not yet been fully detailed.
Galpin is the top Ford dealer in the world, with extensive experience customizing Mustangs and other models. A supercharged Mustang GT sat among the company’s SEMA builds, promising 725 horsepower and outfitted with plenty of carbon fiber. It is unclear if the Rocket will get similar under-the-hood upgrades.
Fisker and Galpin are promoting the Rocket as the “ultimate American muscle car,” to be unveiled next week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
