Saw this clip https://www.metacafe.com/watch/63012/audi_goes_up/

and thought it was amazing that the car could get up, then on watching it again I noticed that the car has a winch bolted underneath. You can see it near the end when they show the head on shot near the end whenthe car has it's headlights on.

It appears it is a test, it uses the winch to stop it rolling down to the guys death.

It does actually do it.

it can be done showed it on fith gear i think, it was a jag they were testing a new system out were it can climb up icey hills and turn quicker on a zigzag course. pretty impressive stuff. something to do with the power put to each wheel and the braking of others.

Yeh like killa said above about the winch thing, it is there for safety. I dont think it helps him. The tyres with spikes did though lol

It's from top gear is it not? or fifth gear?
the winch is just for safety,

I think james may and mr clarkson raced the two estate/offroaders

The clip is in German, Germans testing a german car probably up a german ski ramp, I wouldn't trust the slimey bastards as far as I could spit them!!!

Well they did exactly the same on top gear,

the cord was there to stop the car falling down the ramp.

I'm sure you'll find something on google if you look.
No need to go all anti german on us. calm down love Karma
