GoinGreen has unveiled the third generation of its ugly iconic vehicle, the G-Wiz i. This time, the little electric car comes with a new safety package and increases its top speed from 45mph to 50mph.
After the catastrophic crash test operated by Jeremy Clarkson where a G-Wiz is launched against a table, it was more than urgent for the company to upgrade the safety package of its model. With the help of Lotus Engineering,the company has introduced a new safety package to the G-Wiz i, frontal crash tested at 25mph city speed. Safety features include front and side impact protection, a strengthened space frame, a collapsible steering column, a hill rolling restraint feature and new front disc brakes that deliver a 30% improvement in braking performance.
While the exterior remains unchanged, the interior features a roomier cabin. The G-Wiz i has a colour-impregnated body whose standard colours include marine blue, lightning silver or deep black.
At £8,895 inc VAT, the G-Wiz i fails to convince despite 900 of them on London’s roads. How can a sensible person spend almost £9,000 on a car whose only merit is not to pollute if we don’t take into account the pollution generated by the power centrals?
Using public transport is likely to be less expensive and more comfortable. At least we can read a decent newspaper or discuss with friends on the bus or the tube. In a way, the G-Wiz i isn’t a vehicle to show your green credentials but to make your friends realise how stupid you are.
