Review written on 5/1958.

We've had access to the Gordon-Brull Corsican for a while now. This Fastback surprised us more than the everyone else or the Grace. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Fastback? Read ahead to find out!


On my first track run in the Gordon-Brull Corsican suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Fastback. The Corsican's 184 hp @ 4560RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 9.975s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 122 mph. The Corsican is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 122 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 170 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 4336 lbs which is amazing! Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Gordon-Brull Corsican is like that, but faster. Literally this Fastback can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Fastback I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!


Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Gordon-Brull Corsican's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Gordon-Brull was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

The cramped Gordon-Brull 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 Gordon-Brull 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 Gordon-Brull has perfected the perfect.


Do expect major repairs over the life time of owning a Gordon-Brull 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 Gordon-Brull 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.

While the Gordon-Brull Corsican is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.


When you drive the Gordon-Brull Corsican you'll see other Fastback on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Gordon-Brull. Simple answer, they're stupid!
