Galpin Auto Sports (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/galpin+auto+sports/) has announced that it is hard at work on a new project. The concept is to create a vehicle that embodies all the Ford GT (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford gt/) could have been had Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) not axed the supercar back in 2006. Called the GTR-1, the car will boast more than 1,000 horsepower as well as the buyer's choice of a body hewn from either aluminum or carbon fiber. That skin will get stretched over a standard Mustang Ford GT.
Each example will feature an interior built to the customer's specifications, though drivetrain and suspension details remain murky. From what we can tell, Galpin will release more details as we get closer to the GTR-1 launch early next year. Galpin has a long history of selling performance Ford products. It was the first dealer in history to sell Shelby Cobra (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/shelby cobra/) models in the '60s, and hasn't hesitated to stand behind all manner of go-faster Mustang models over the past 50-plus years. You can check out the brief press release on the GTR-1 below (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/12/03/galpin-announces-plans-for-ford-gt-inspired-supercar/#continued).Continue reading Galpin announces plans for Ford GT-inspired supercar (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/03/galpin-announces-plans-for-ford-gt-inspired-supercar/)
