Review written on 1/1951.

The Coupe 2+2 segment is not for everyone. But the Redwood may be the vehicle for you. Gordon-Brull sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Gordon-Brull's headquarters to test out the Redwood. Luckily we've also tested the everyone else and the Twist this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Coupe 2+2 community.


The day started right when I was picked to drive the Gordon-Brull Redwood on the track. The Redwood is a is pretty fast for a Coupe 2+2. Its 89 hp @ 4113RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 95 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 21.608s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Gordon-Brull Redwood is a fantastic track Coupe 2+2. The Gordon-Brull Redwood handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Coupe 2+2. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.


The strongest selling point of the Gordon-Brull Redwood is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Redwood is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Redwood.

The Gordon-Brull Redwood's 28 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is plenty for the typical consumer. It is certainly better than average for this type of vehicle. While there are some areas that could be improved all in all we think the Redwood is good.

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


If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Gordon-Brull Redwood. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.

When it came to fuel economy testing we tried to see how far we could go in the Gordon-Brull Redwood. Our goal was to run it out of fuel. We tried and we failed. Even when the Redwood fuel gauge was below E, it kept going! Befuddled at this we asked Gordon-Brull engineers how this is possible. They showed us their Motor Bunny fuel system, which just keeps going and going and going and going for an impressive 32.3 mpg. In one word, amazing.

In some sense the Gordon-Brull Redwood reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Redwood isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.


When it comes to Coupe 2+2 there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Gordon-Brull Redwood the best Coupe 2+2 I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
