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.

wat was with the cable hooked up to the undercarraige? was it helping out a little or was it for safety. i think it was bogus. being pulled by the cable.

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.
