Henrik Fisker will emerge at the the L.A. auto show to present, as we guessed three weeks earlier, a special 2015 Ford Mustang. It's going to be called "Rocket." Ooooh, ahhhh.
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 form 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.

At SEMA, Galpin supercharged a black and gold 2015 Mustang GT to 725 hp—well in advance of the 2016 Shelby GT500—and we have no doubt that the outfit has something special planned for the Rocket. It won't be a plug-in hybrid, because that sort of thing is likely to give Fisker the shudders.
