When it comes to Fastback it might be easy to miss Calboni's Corsican. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Fastback. We'll let you know where it stands between the V5894 and the S7145. So continue reading to find out more about the Calboni Corsican.


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Calboni Corsican. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Fastback I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 184 hp @ 4560RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 122 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 10.018s 0 to 60 mph! When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 170 lb-ft of torque was able to move 4318 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. Once in a blue moon a vehicle comes around that really wows us on the track. The Calboni Corsican is that vehicle! This Fastback sticks to the road like a race car. It has so much grip that it could probably run well at Monaco! This vehicle is amazing in the turns. We drove it until it ran out of gas, that's how great it is. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


The Calboni Corsican reminds me of jail. The longer you're inside of it the less you want to be there. The interior is drab and non-existent. Devoid of form or functionality. There is nothing there. Nothing to write about. Just horrible, cold, nothingness. And that is how you can best describe the Corsican's insides.

The cramped Calboni Corsican will leave your passengers knees permanently attached to their chest after you fold them up and slide them into that space they call a seat. The Corsican's tiny 26 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space leaves very little room for even this review!

The workmanship put into the Calboni Corsican is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Corsican is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Calboni has perfected the perfect.


Do expect major repairs over the life time of owning a Calboni Corsican. This is to be expected as it's not designed to be a life long vehicle.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Calboni Corsican sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Corsican gets an abysmal 15.2 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

Safety is another important topic on the minds of many. The Calboni Corsican maintains the average amount of safety features for this type of vehicle. While not overly impressive, it should be enough to keep you alive in most cases. Don't expect miracles however.


When it comes to Fastback there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Calboni Corsican the best Fastback I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
