have you guys seen audi's new commercial celebrating 25 years of quattro: A4 climbed up a ski track with a 39.xx degree gradient effortlessly and parked on it? i agree quattro is awesome but am not sure whether this commercial is exaggerating. if it is real, i really want to see how the driver backed down the track safely.

 

it is real. just googled it and got a link

please forgive my ignorance of the greatness of quattro.

 

that is amazing.

 

If you look at the bottom corner it says the Audi was equipped w/ studded rally tires as well.

 

I was at that ramp... or at least I think I was. Pretty sick incline... to see it in a commercial is one thing, to see it in real life and imagine a car climbing it with snow is a whole 'nother story.

 

Oh, and i forgot, that a strap was used to prevent it from going downhill once it stopped.

 

studded rally tires? not racing slicks ? :[ not cool anymore

 

Sorry to burst your bubble.

 

just read it through. quote"Nine seconds later, Bleck arrived at the starting gate, 47 metres off the ground. Bleck drove the A6 all the way up the ski jump a total of eleven times. " therefore "roll-back safety device" is not so necessary.

 

that's better.
