2015 Galpin-Fisker Mustang Rocket First Drive - Auto123.com
The 2015 Galpin-Fisker Mustang Rocket is a 725-hp beast that blurs the lines between a muscle car and a supercar. However, Fisker was always smitten with muscle cars, in particular, the Mustang. Fisker says that the sight of the yellow Mustang in the original Gone in 60 seconds movie hooked him, and he has since always wanted to present the world with his interpretation of the ultimate Mustang. Back when Fisker worked for Aston Martin, the British luxury sports car brand was owned by Ford. Fisker had hoped then to present his vision of the Mustang to the world, but things sometimes don't go as planned. He left Aston Martin at the end of 2004, started his own boutique car company in 2005, Fisker Coachbuild, followed by his own brand in 2007, Fisker Automotive. After the rise and fall of the Fisker Automotive brand, Fisker decided to return to his design roots and try to accomplish his childhood dream. A chance meeting with his old friend Beau Boeckmann, CEO of Galpin Auto Sports, at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, lead these two to discuss the idea of building the ultimate Mustang. Boeckmann has the largest volume of Ford dealership in the world, and was instantly interested in turning Fisker’s vision into a reality. Source: www.auto123.com
