Aston Martin Thunderbolt Concept By Henrik Fisker - Top Speed
Denmark, though — Denmark has long bucked the interlocking molds of its neighbors’ boxy practicality. Henrik Fisker was arguably the only good thing to come out of the entire Ford-Aston affair. Not content to rest on his well-deserved laurels, Fisker launched his own car company from sunny California, where he’s still making history by influencing fellow revolutionaries like Tesla. Last year, at the LA Auto Show, he introduced the Mustang Rocket, a 725-horsepower joint venture with California’s Galpin Auto Sports. Looking for all the world like the three-way love child of a Mustang, Aston and Spyker, the Rocket is set to retail for about $100,000 fresh from Galpin’s showroom floor. It’s true: a $100,000 Mustang does seem like a slightly absurd proposition, regardless of the name on the design sheet. Perhaps recognizing that a six-figure pony car is a tough sell, Henrik and Galpin officially went back to the well at the 2015 Amelia Island Concrous d’Elegance. The Thunderbolt "design study" shook those in attendance like a blow from Mjolnir, a true Nordic Godhammer of classic Fisker style. Source: www.topspeed.com
