No we don't care.. We only care when we see a topic about the car you want to talk about, complete with custom shot :roll:

The ramp is obviously one used for the ski jumping it is called in english :)

Yeah, it was a ski jumping ramp. Here's the making of that documentary:

That's what I thought originally, but it seemed like it was too long. Guess not

I think it's more impressive that they got the car on the ramp in the first place.

I saw "the making of" about a week ago.

They first tried it with normal winter tires, but only came half way. Still impressive...

Thats the same ramp the urquattro climbed up 20 years ago for a TV commercial.
The guys from Audi had to reinforce the ramp because itīs made of wood and wasnīt used for a long time.
The cable under the car is only for safety.
They used the same safety device 20 years ago but some people thought the car was pulled up the ramp.
