"Galpin Auto Sports is known for its long history of car customizing, and now it&amp;#039;s getting into the supercar business. The company announced that the car you see here, dubbed the Galpin Ford GTR1, will make its debut next month in Monterey, California. The grand unveiling will take place at The Quail Gathering, and from there, it&amp;#039;ll be featured on the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Based on the Ford GT, the GTR1 boasts a custom aluminum body that&amp;#039;s five inches wider than a stock GT. The idea behind the car was to explore what Ford&amp;#039;s supercar might have been had production carried on through to the present day.   Muscle is plentiful. The GTR1 boasts 1024 hp and 739 lb-ft of torque from its twin-turbo, 5.4-liter V8. Top speed is a claimed 225 mph, and to scrub off all that velocity, the car features six-pot calipers and full-carbon brake rotors behind its custom 20-inch wheels. Galpin hand-finishes the interior with bespoke leather and a new, machined instrument panel. There&amp;#039;s also a McIntosh audio system that you&amp;#039;ll likely never hear over the mighty din of the powertrain. If you want one, you can choose from the aluminum body depicted here or upgrade to carbon fiber. Galpin will release full pricing and tech specs after the car&amp;#039;s debut.
