Henrik Fisker, thank you for inviting us into the last stages of build of your return. Tell me about this project. Well, this has kind of been a project that in one way has always been some, somehow in the back of my mind. I started thinking about this when I was a teenager. So in that respect That's a lot. many years ago. But, I, reality of course is that Ford. Didn't deliver these cars until I think about six, seven weeks ago. So I kinda had to start working on this, designing this car just looking at a few pictures of what Ford was about to release. So I had in my mind what I would like to do but since we, we, this was not about doing a, a complete different body. And unrecognizable as a Mustang. It was really about doing a car that looked like a specialty Mustang. Sort of like, you know, the Shelbys used to be. Where they change quite a lot of body panel, but you could still see it was a Mustang .>> So, tell me about the inspiration in terms of the actual design language. And the changes that you've made, the improvement, enhancments .>> Well, I don't think it was about improvements. Because the thing actually this Ford was sort of an amazing. Car to start with. And that kind of, in one way makes it more difficult. But it also, in a way, makes it easier because you're starting with a very good proportion. And for me, this Ford Mustang, the 2015 For Mustang is probably one of the best proportioned Mustangs in a very, very long time. But I also wanted to make sure that it looked modern. And the whole idea was, this car has a lot of horsepower. It's probably one of the most high horsepower cars you can buy, 725 horsepower. So a lot of it was actually also about the, the volume and the sculpture in the vehicle. And then it was really about finding a way to give this car a little bit more aggressiveness. then, then obviously the standard because we have 724 prime horse power. And then make it unique enough that even though you can recognize a Mustang, you also want people to go, oh, is that the rocket? So, is this the new model for a car company for you? Are you happy to be back? Is it easier to do it this way? No, I think this is something specific that Bo and I came up with. And obviously the Mustang's a very specific, you know, car and this is a specific program. It's not, you know, I'm, I'm working on something else as well, which is very exciting and, and slightly bigger venture, and it's going to take a lot longer. So you know this was a moment of time where I had a chance to kind of do whatever I feel like which is fun and what I always wanted to do and Beau is a great partner a great friend so it just seemed like this is a great time to do this. It so happened the Mustang is just coming out. So every. Everything just fell in place. So you're happy to be back in doing what you love. You know, I, I'm definitely happy. I love cars, I can't imagine a world without cars. and, you know, I've been working a lot of different things and I, I don't think I would ever give up working on cars.
