The Rocket was penned by Henrik Fisker, a talented Danish designer who founded the moribund company that bears his name. Starting with a stock 2015 Mustang, Fisker added a large radiator grille with carbon fiber mesh inserts, a chromed slat and a pair of fog lights, flared fenders all around, two air vents in the hood and an air diffuser out back.
“725″ stickers on the hood hint at what lurks in the engine bay, while ten-spoke 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped by Pirelli P-Zero tires add a finishing touch to the menacing look.
The modifications continue inside with carbon fiber trim on the dashboard and the door panels, bucket seats for the front passengers, a new instrument cluster and a handful of Galpin-specific bits and pieces such as emblems.
Galpin is not ready to publish a full set of technical details, but it promises that the Rocket lives up to its name thanks to a supercharged V8 engine that generates 725 horsepower. Massive Brembo brakes on all four corners bring the action to a stop.
The Galpin Rocket will arrive as a limited-edition, built-to-order model, but the company has not announced when it will go on sale, how many examples it will build and how much each one will cost.
