The press around the Gordon-Brull Corsican may look more appealing than the everyone else. But is it really a better Fastback? As long as it's not as bad as the Marianne, Gordon-Brull should be happy with their results. We luckily have a test model to figure out where this vehicle stands in the market. And if it lives up to what the advertisements are saying about it.
The day started right when I was picked to drive the Gordon-Brull Corsican on the track. The Corsican is a is pretty fast for a Fastback. Its 155 hp @ 4082RPMs 4976 cc V4 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 109 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 15.864s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Gordon-Brull Corsican is a fantastic track Fastback. 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.
Gordon-Brull's interior design stands out among its peers. The material selection is fantastic, each seat is crafted by fine artisans, and the ride quality outstanding. Corsican is also full of features other drivers can only dream about. You will not want to leave the inside of this vehicle.
Amazingly spacey the Gordon-Brull Corsican can bost 33 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.
The manufacturing process of Gordon-Brull has really found something. The Corsican seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.
Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Gordon-Brull Corsican is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.
At this point in testing we would normally take the Gordon-Brull Corsican out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Corsican's ghastly 15.3 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.
In some sense the Gordon-Brull Corsican 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 Corsican isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.
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 Gordon-Brull Corsican the best Fastback I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
