Galpin Auto Sports has recently teamed up with the United States Air Force to created two customized vehicles for the 2009 Super Car Tour – a new U.S. Air Force recruiting initiative that kicked off last month. The white Ford Mustang “X-1” and black Dodge Challenger “VAPOR” are Air Force-inspired designs that will travel across the country this year as part of a mobile marketing campaign to educate young people on career opportunities available within the Air Force. The Ford Mustang “X-1” features a jet-driven theme, complete with a jet cockpit that has advanced instrumentation and a single-driver seat in center of vehicle. It also features a concealed motorized steering wheel and a dash equipped with a sensor pack that displays night and thermal vision. The vehicle also has a GPS transponder and customized gull wing doors that feature interior panel fabrication to complete the ‘jet-like’ feel of the X-1.
The stealth-black Air Force Challenger “Vapor” features thumbprint access to the Lamborghini scissor doors, a custom Stealth body kit with Jet enhancements and a carbon fiber exterior trim. The interior is complete with aircraft style controls, a passenger side steering wheel and the most technologically-advanced computer system with internet access, GPS tracking and exterior proximity sensors.
Both cars will be featured in a feature issue of DUB and can be seen at various stops of the Monster Energy 2009 DUB Show Tour. Check out the 22-minute documentary that captures the making of the X-1 and Vapor, at www.airforce.com/supercar |
