The Front looks too long.



from the article:
Unveiled in LA last year, the first production Galpin Rocket has arrived and of course it’s been blacked out. “The ultimate American muscle car,” according to Henrik Fisker who co-designed the Mustang-based Rocket with Galpin Auto Sport, the stunning car comes with a a 725-hp powerplant and carbon fiber body with inspiration coming from the pony cars of the 1960’s and 1970’s, most notably the 1968 Shelby GT500.

Maybe that's the anteater edition!

 

not a fan of the design

 

I like everything except how far the front facia sticks out that hood is by far the best looking part of it

 

I see a lil aston in there

I saw this on my carbuzz app and i gotta say im in love with the blacked out look, evil as can be.however the silver one with some black wheels or same color just thinner spokes would be killer as well

 

I think it will look out of place anywhere except LA/west hollywood! I don't think i could drive something like that on a regular basis. Too over the top for me.

 

I love it

If the DB9 is the equivalent to the stock S550, then this is the Vanquish!










Here are a couple of revised grilles (the only part of the design that needs a little work, in my opinion)

 

DUDE that revised grill makes a WORLD of difference to me. I love that 'minor' adjustment lol

 

Both of these are a dramatic improvement of the front end design. Are you paying attention Ford? Maybe you should have hired Twin Turbo.
That's excellent work Twin, great job.

That is an S550 that I would buy.


This is not.

 

I prefer the stock front end.

 

I look at the black car with the photo shopped front end and I think "Yes! That is a good looking Mustang!" Then I see that red one and I think "Meh."

I'll never buy an S550 until they put a proper front end on it like those pictured on the black car. Now that I have seen what can be done with that front end I would never be happy with the current look.

 

Rob ! I really hope this is your idea of a practical joke my friend

 

Nope. The factory 2015 front end is terrible. The two photo shopped front ends are fantastic. I seriously wouldn't buy an S550 until they did something with the front end akin to what we see here.

 

I most definitely prefer the stock front end over that abomination any day..

That front grille looks more like a wide mouth bass and even more so with the fog lights in the upper corners

 

As opposed to the stock front end that has the face of a whale shark? lol

I was okay with just the standard Galpin production front end but I have to admit the two photo shopped front ends are even better still. They are both a dramatic improvement on the design symmetry of the front end, especially the one with the fog lamps mounted in the lower grill. I wouldn't consider anything less and I certainly wouldn't buy the current look. Just where I come out on it.

 

I agree, the front end needs improvement ! But those photoshopped front ends are just plain hideous Rob.. I'd much rather deal with the factory front end rather than looking like some wide mouth bass, especially with the fog lights in the upper corners

 

To each his own. I'd much rather have one of the two photo shopped front ends. The factory front end is just plain ugly to me. I'll never buy one.

 

Having the face of a shark ? That I can deal with, but having the face of a wide mouth bass or whale is totally unacceptable for me Rob lol.

The Galpin front end was bad enough as it is, but when I saw the 2 photo shopped versions, especially the one with the fog lights in the grill, I almost

 

Just another reason for holding onto my current GT.. And I'm sure you'll be holding onto yours as well

 

Very likely barring anything unforeseen. We could all go back and forth for days about what the front end of the 2015 looks like. In the end it doesn't matter to me. The only thing that matters is that it's ugly and I don't like it. To my eye the photo shopped front ends are vastly improved and I could see me buying something like that. But the current front end? No way brother.
