Pretty amazing but that kind of performance is of no use to me living in the flatlands here in the Midwest!

Wow! Of course, it helped when they put those super narrow studded tires on!

very impressive indeed!
There's no way to do that without 4 wheel drive.
To me they would have been real heroes if they'd driven it back (wards)

Very impressive stuff - Its Audi's answer to the X5.
What BMW should now do is take a 545 to the same slope and accelerate flat out down the slope landing perfectly flat beating the world record in the process. This would demonstrate the 50/50 weight distribution.

The audi does have a bigger boot and they should demonstrate this by taking a load of crap to the nearest rubbish tip.

Don't mean to offend but I like BMW the best.

Can you explain what's going on there? Looks like the X3 is pulling the defender.
