Rocket Man: Henrik Fisker's New Car Is a Carbon-Fiber-Bodied Mustang

• http://blog.caranddriver.com, by Clifford Atiyeh

The Rocket is a one-off showpiece stemming from a collaboration between the former Fisker Automotive CEO and Galpin Auto Sports, a California tuning company that built the 1024-hp Ford GTR1 and which is affiliated with the world's biggest-selling Ford dealer, Galpin Motors. The teaser sketch signed by Fisker himself shows a "carbon-fiber-bodied" Mustang fastback wearing some big shoes and what appear to be slots for brake-cooling ducts on the rear fenders. It also appears from the sketch that Fisker may have filled in the rear-quarter glass, perhaps drawing inspirations from the extra-sleek Iacocca Edition Mustang from 2009. The designer's creation, like every exotic car he's ever penned, is bound to be pretty when the wrap comes off on November 20.
