This man drove an Audi up one of the world’s steepest and most dangerous ski slopes, which has a mind-boggling 85 percent incline.
As you might have guessed, it wasn’t just any old driver behind the wheel; it was two-time DTM Mattias Ekström, but even with his skills, the whole thing was a real nail-biter.
The impressive feat was arranged by Red Bull and saw Ekström drive the Audi up The Streif, including tackling the steepest incline, known as the Mousetrap.
“The last 25 meters will always be lodged in my memory. We conquered even the steepest stretch,” he said after he completed the daunting stunt.
