Galpin Auto Sports (GAS) debuted yesterday its first coach-built supercar, the Galpin Ford GTR1, at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California. In the words of its makers, the model is meant to be a vision of what the Ford GT may have looked and performed like, had Ford continued its evolution. Production for the GTR1 will be extremely limited: Galpin anticipates an initial build of just six vehicles and a maximum of 24 units created with an initial price of just over one million dollars.
Galpin has worked with Metalcrafters to offer the choice of ordering their GTR1 in either a carbon fiber body or an aluminum body. The car is powered by a 5.4-liter V8 engine with a twin-turbocharged system specially tuned to produce a staggering output of 1024 horsepower and 1000 Nm of peak torque. Galpin’s early estimates show the GTR1 would be mechanically capable of speeds in excess of 362 km/h (225 mph), burning the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in approximately three seconds.
Other highlights include a special set of carbon-carbon brake rotors paired with Brembo six-piston calipers, specially made 20-inch forged aluminum shod with Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires, jeweled headlamps, tail lamps and select carbon fiber exterior accents. Inside, owners will find a machined aluminum instrument cluster, McIntosh sound system and equally exquisite hand fabricated leather trimmed seats, dash, door panels and headliner all available in the buyer’s preferred color and stitching.
