G-Wiz crash test Bookmark Video Tweet Notorious mainly for its amazingly ugly looks and this grisly test conducted by Top Gear, the G-Wiz is a small electric car with designs on London's alt-fuel crown.In a time when fuel prices, Congestion Charging and rising road tax are upon the beleaguered motorists, the G-Wiz could stake a claim to be a genuinely cheap drive - once you got past the steep asking price - but fell down in the safety testing area.Since it's basically classified as a quadricycle, the G-Wiz is not required to undergo NCAP testing. With this in mind, Top Gear got hold of a Wiz and crashed it into a wall at 40mph, with the result that the little leccy vehicle is almost completely destroyed, bestowing 'serious or life-threatening injuries' on any passengers under such conditions.At this point the G-Wiz went back to the drawing board, with the result that the electric car is now much safer.• Watch the best - or worst - car safety crash tests Related Videos BACK MotorTorque iPhone app 12 days of Christmas - drink driving Don’t drink and drive - Haunted by the past Drink driving – your brain Pay attention or pay the price - school Dont drink and drive - hospital bed Seat belt safety - spirit leaves the body Network rail - level crossing awareness Distractions in a car MORE More from this Channel (Roads And Safety) MotorTorque iPhone app Here is our new MotorTorque app that allows you to... 12 days of Christmas - drink driving A family prepares for the Christmas holidays, but the father...
