On Clarkson's Supercar Showdown DVD they crash the G-Wiz into a wooden dining table turned on its side. The Front end of the 'car' was a mess, and you could hear the sizzle of battery acid spilling out onto the track.

The table got a bit scratched..

Continuing TG's campaign, in the last of the current series Hammond adds a G-Wiz to The Dead Pool.

Back in the early 70s the Brits used electric milk wagons. I still have nightmares about crossing a street in a thick fog and almost getting run down by a low humming cart driven by an East Midlands hoon!

@Smokeydog001:

We still do - no danger of getting woken up by your milk delivery that way :)

Nobody beats the Wiz. Okay, everybody does.

I suppose extreme greeners could argue that people are replacable, but the environment is not.

But seriously, to quote the incomparable H.I. McDonnough, "Sometimes it's a hard world for small things."

your head asplode

@novaload:

So we use people as fuel? I like the way you're thinking - can I add a few names to the list? :)

@Kuang: Humans: The renewable resource.

@Novaload:

Do you still go to raves? Do you think Christ saves?
Do you spend your days in a Purple Haze?
Do you contemplate what a Grape Nut is?
Or could you live drinkin' your own whiz?
Are you "Hooked On A Feeling"? Are you hooked on gin and tonics?
Are you hooked on fistin'? Are you "Hooked On Phonics"?
Did you ever have sex with a box of Kleenex?
Did you like the movie "Malcolm X"?
Or do you own a record by Stryper?
Do you have a mongoloid cousin wearin' diapers?
Were you born and raised in New Jersey?
Did you like the taste of Crystal Pepsi?
Are you deaf? Well if you are you can't hear me
But what's the use of livin' if your ear's be
Broken? Even if I spoke clearly
You're still not able to hear me

'Cause life is a game that no one wins
But you deserve a head-start the way your life's goin'
So throw in the towel 'cause your life ain't shit
No take that towel and hang yourself with it
Life's short and hard like a body-building elf
>>So save the planet and kill yourself<<
If you're feelin' down-and-out with what your life is all about.

Hooray For Boobies!

In other news the G will do 40 MPH.

interesting math: 40 = 30 + 30

To paint a positive picture, at least the door opens itself during a crash so that the EMTs can spatula you out of the interior easier.

ernmoran, ya beat me to it.... I did like the auto releasing hood also

That will buff right out. The guy, I mean.

@camp6ell:

The barrier itself doesn't have a full crumple zone it just gives a little bit due to the padding; so the impact as it is to the tested vehicle is equal to two regular cars butting heads at 30mph.

i cannot believe they let this on the road

@camp6ell: the average car has little more of a crumple zone than a wall.

Maybe if HMG gave one free to every soccer YOB, the gene pool might dramatically improve.

you think the weight of the batteries, along with the general tin canieness of the body caused this?
Lets see weight = mass + velocity + inertia - negitive deacceleration against immovabe mass = certain death?

Remember these idiots market it as a car but legally its a quadracycle (ATV) to get around the liability issues.
So basically they're stupid and evil.

Damn them to fake automotive hell to be surrounded by a thousand soybean Model T's.

@stevecmh: Eh, so what. They let Vespas on the road, too.

Not everyone feels they need an Escalade.

wait...i think i need to see this impact from one more angle.

@larsenf: @holeydonut: eh?
show me the math!

Yeah, who really needs their legs anyway. Or blood for that matter.

Isaac Newton sez: Epic fail.

i noticed one of these in the London chase scene in National Treasure 2 (if you saw the first one, you've pretty much seen that one too)...

it gets crushed by a truck full of beer. doesn't look like it fared too much better safetly-wise, either...

I watched this while listening to Juke Joint Jezebel. Increased the amusement factor at least 5x, maybe 10.

Can the G-Wiz fold itself up into a shoebox normally, or just once? Because that would be really handy if I can't find a parking space.

Let's move ahead with the time, GoinGreen has released the new G-Wiz i, which is pretty cool and assures a lot more safety.

I am on my toes to exchange my G-Wiz for the new G-Wiz i.

Have look at the new crash test video.
