Remember the 725-horsepower muscle car they called Galpin Rocket? Many just call it the Mustang Rocket. It was based on the sixth-generation Ford Mustang, co-designed by Galpin Auto Sports and Henrik Fisker. Back in 2014, this super-car became a hit.

You can still get that 2014 Mustang Rocket, which is being manufactured by VLF, the Michigan-based car manufacturer founded by Bob Lutz and Gilbert Villarreal. .

2017 has arrived, and a new Mustang Rocket will soon arrive with it. This new beast will be called VLF Rocket V8.

Where will it get it’s 725-horsepower libido?

Well, that will come from a supercharged upgrade to the Mustang GT’s 5.0-liter V-8, and a huge range of bodywork upgrades as well. You might see some similarities to the styling of the 1968 Shelby GT500. The new Mustang Rocket will be made of fully modern materials, including carbon fiber bodywork.

The new Rocket’s lines emerges from the front, through its long hood, over a set of flared fenders and converge on its integrated rear spoiler. The beautiful carbon-fiber body is constructed by renowned car builder, Metalcrafters. The Rocket V8 will sit on 21″ wheels wrapped in Pirelli extreme performance tires.

According to VLF, the starting price of this super-car will be around $120,000. If you opt for the standard – you’ll get a six-speed manual, while an automatic gearbox will be an option. The standard Monotube coilovers will feature adjustable rebound. Buyers will be able to spec optional Brembo brakes for better stopping power, if they want to.

Buyers will also be able to get a coupe like the original Mustang Rocket at the LA Auto Show (back in 2014!) or opt for a convertible. VLF is already taking orders from interested buyers, if you’re interested. However, the VLF Rocket is currently being exclusively distributed in California by Galpin Auto Sports and VLF Automotive will be appointing soon additional dealers in the US outside California, and rest of the world.
