If you enjoy watching cars smashing up Styrofoam moose cut outs then you’re going to love this video of a GT68 failing the ‘moose test’.

In case you didn’t already know, the ‘moose test’ (a mostly American term) tests a car to see if it can make a sharp, evasive manoeuvre without flipping over. It basically tests to see if your car can avoid a moose, or child, that might run out into the middle of the road. As you can imagine, large top-heavy vehicles often fail the moose test, but low sporty cars like the Toyota GT86 usually drift by with flying colours.

However, whoever was behind the wheel of this gorgeous GT86 decided to throw the car into a drift a good bit before the Styrofoam moose and, well, the rest is self-explanatory.

We just hope they don’t try that with a real moose.
