Did you know? Galpin and Henrik Fisker reveal 725-HP Rocket based on the 2015 Mustang!

Henrik Fisker is probably best known for his attempt at starting an automaker, but before the days

of Fisker Automotive the Danish businessman was working as a car designer and running

coachbuilder Fisker Coachbuild. Well, it appears Fisker isn’t finished with the auto world just yet as

he’s teamed up with famous Ford tuner Galpin Auto Sports to develop a carbon fiber-bodied car

based on the 2015 Ford Mustangand called the Rocket.

Revealed today in full at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Rocket is described as the “ultimate

American muscle car” and will eventually be available for sale. Interested buyers will have the

option of purchasing a car through Galpin’s own dealership or one of several hand-picked locations

not only here in the U.S. but across the world. Deliveries of the car are scheduled to commence

early next year.

The Rocket’s design is unmistakably inspired by specialty pony cars of the 1960s and early ‘70s,

including the 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (Fisker's favorite). Anchored by an imposing

hexagonal grille crafted from carbon fiber and split with a polished aluminum bar, the Rocket’s lines

emanate from the front, through the long hood, over a set of sculptured flared fenders and

converge on its integrated rear spoiler.

That spoiler, along with many of the car’s other aero pieces, is fully functional. A front splitter also

helps draw out hot air from underneath the car to improve engine cooling, while simultaneously

working in conjunction with the rear spoiler, enlarged rear diffuser and side skirts to produce

downforce. And those large scoops in the hood are designed to channel air into the engine bay,

also helping to keep the car’s engine, a 725-horsepower supercharged 5.0-liter V-8, cool.

Did you know? Galpin and Henrik Fisker reveal 725-HP Rocket based on the 2015 Mustang!

Other elements of the design include a custom silver paint finish known as Éminence Grise;

independent, fully-adjustable suspension; 21-inch wheels shod with Pirelli P-Zero tires; and

powerful Brembo brakes with 15-inch discs up the front.

You might be wondering how this project came about. It turns out Galpin’s ties with Henrik Fisker

date back several years. In addition to being a top dealer for the Ford Motor Company, Galpin is

also a major dealer for Aston Martin. Henrik Fisker previously worked as a design for the British

sports car brand, helping with the designs of the DB9 and Vantage models, and it was during this

time that he first met the team at Galpin.

“Ford’s engineers and [Ford design chief] Moray Callum’s design team did an amazing job with the

new Mustang,” Henrik Fisker said at today’s reveal. “So good in fact, I think the design additions

and power upgrades we have made to the car help it play in a higher league, against much more

expensive supercars.”

Did you know? 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 was the hit of the Los Angeles Auto Show, but there’s still a lot about the performance pony that we don’t know yet. Yes, it has a 5.2-liter V8 called the Voodoo with a racing car-style flat plane crank and at least 500 horsepower, features a magnetically-controlled active suspension, and gets bodywork mods hewn by the wind, but how fast does it actually go and what’s it going to cost? All will be revealed closer to when it goes on sale next year, but in the meantime Ford’s Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi joined us on Meet Your Automaker and we asked these questions and more, like whether or not the GT350 will follow the original onto the track and if the Voodoo fits in an F-150. A flat plane crank pickup? We like the sound of that, and it could happen, one way or another.

Did you know? What are Ford TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins)

Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are recommended steps and procedures for repairing vehicles. A

TSB is issued by Ford when there is a growing trend with an unanticipated problems, but does not

warrant a recall. “Click and Clack” of NPR Car Talk fame, describe TSBs as really "just containing

advice from the company to the mechanics who fix [the] cars". Most repair shops can lookup TSB

information to get the recommended repairs from the manufacturer.

Did you know? How fast can you go in your Mustang? Guess who’s looking over your

shoulder and coming up right behind you?

FORD ECOBOOST POLICE INTERCEPTORS REPEAT AS QUICKEST ACCELERATING IN STATE TESTING IN MICHIGAN, CALIFORNIA

Ford EcoBoost® Police Interceptor sedan repeats top performance in Michigan State Police

and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department testing of 2015 model, retaining its title as quickest-

accelerating pursuit vehicle

Ford EcoBoost Police Interceptor utility vehicle acceleration faster than competition’s all-

new utility vehicle and all base V6 competitors

Ford Police Interceptor maintains segment sales leadership for 17 consecutive years

Ford Motor Company, manufacturer of the best-selling police vehicles since 1996, trumped the

competition in recent instrumented acceleration testing conducted separately by the Michigan

State Police and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

The EcoBoost®-powered Ford Police Interceptor sedan bested all V8-equipped competitors’

sedans in testing by both Michigan and California authorities, while Ford Police Interceptor utility

with EcoBoost out-accelerated the competition’s all-new V8-equipped utility and all base V6-powered sedans.

Did you know? How fast can you go in your Mustang? Guess who’s looking over your shoulder and coming up right behind you?

“We are thrilled to repeat as having best acceleration,” said Arie Groeneveld, Ford Taurus, Explorer

and Police Interceptor chief engineer. “Quickly closing the distance between an officer and a target

vehicle is key to safely avoiding high-speed pursuits. Our police vehicles are built around officer

safety, and outstanding performance is yet another demonstration of that commitment.”

Michigan State Police testing results

Preliminary results of Michigan State Police testing show the 2015 Ford Police Interceptor sedan with

all-wheel drive is fastest of the fast – posting a 0-60 mph time of 5.85 seconds, compared to 6.31

seconds for a competing 5.7-liter V8 sedan with all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is standard on Ford

Police Interceptor sedan, optional on the competing model.

The Ford EcoBoost-powered sedan also topped a competing 6.0-liter V8-equipped sedan, which

clocked a 0-60 mph time of 6.17 seconds.

“Ford Police Interceptors are the only police vehicles to be pursuit-tested for three years in a row by

both Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department with traction control and

electronic stability control safety systems fully engaged,” said Jonathan Honeycutt, marketing

manager, Ford police vehicles. “Our safety philosophy entails testing our vehicles as our agencies will

drive them.”

Ford also took top honors in Michigan State Police 0-100 mph testing: Police Interceptor sedan

turned a 14.19-second 0-100 mph time, while a competing 5.7-liter sedan posted 15.63 seconds and

a rival 6.0-liter sedan took 14.69 seconds.

The results are similar for utility vehicles. Ford Police Interceptor utility with standard all-wheel drive

hit 60 mph in 6.55 seconds and 100 mph in 16.13 seconds. A competing all-new utility vehicle

powered by a 5.3-liter V8 posted a 0-60 mph time of 7.31 seconds and a 0-100 mph time of 18.99

seconds.

Additionally, Ford Police Interceptor utility repeated with fastest lap time around Grattan Raceway

among police utility vehicles.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department testing results

Results from Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tests are even more dominant for Ford Police

Interceptor. For the first time, the department conducted testing with a “key on and drive” policy –

meaning stability and traction control settings were in default mode as when the vehicles are first

turned on.

Ford Police Interceptor sedan repeated as the quickest-accelerating vehicle overall in Los Angeles

County Sheriff’s Department tests, with a 0-60 mph time of 5.9 seconds. The EcoBoost-equipped

Ford Police Interceptor utility not only out-accelerated its competition, but was quicker at 0-60 mph

than all base model (V6-powered) sedans.

At Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, where testing was conducted, Ford Police Interceptor

sedan with EcoBoost placed first overall, posting a fastest lap of 1:20.47. The EcoBoost-equipped

Police Interceptor utility also placed first and posted best-in-class stopping distances.

Through October 2014, the most recent data available, Ford has commanded more than half of the

new police vehicle market – 56 percent – hitting a high of 66 percent market share for July.
