On the German TV news "Audi prove Quattro can climb a ski ramp without assistance... on 3rd attempt"

Apparently Audi engineers fed up with the claims that the original TV advert for the Audi 100 Quattro was faked used a new Audi A6 Quattro to climb a disused ski ramp in Finland. After 2 failed runs, the car managed to drive up to the top of the ramp without external assistance on the third attempt. As with the original attempt the car was "attatched" to a cable which was purely a safety measure. It was this cable which was visible in some views of the original clip which led to claims that the Audi 100 Quattro was assisted in climbing the ramp.
