Easy: Quattro AWD and really big spikes on your snow tires...

Did they build that ramp solely for doing this?

No that is the ski jump that the germans use for training.

They way I look at it is anything that can climb a hill that steep would be able to do the same thing as long as the tires get a grip.
Tire grip is the key and those spiked tires did the trick.

I give it a big high five for that one

Hey, ski jumps are for going DOWN, are they not?
THAT'S what I want to see - the Audi doing a "Eddie the Eagle" thing.

i like the other vid where the all road is put up against other AWD systems. alhtough i wish they would also include the EVO and STi and compare it to cars that are also born from rally.
