S4 up Chilean mountain - with no tires? What?

[Peter Berrevoets]

At the end of the clip and in the middle, it is clearly seen that the car is
driving on the wheel lips(?). At the end light can be seen under the wheels
and in the middle you see the wheel slice through some slush leaving only
two narrow tracks. Audi has not in my experience ever faked an ad. The
wakeboarder ad, also on nordic audi, is one of the more difficult as I think
the ignition must be waterproofed somehow.

Otherwise, does anyone have a copy of the ascent.avi file at a higher
resolution than the one from nordicaudi?
