Haha. Been getting seriously excited about this car - and I am not even buying one! God know how you guys with orders are coping. Cannot wait to set eyes on one at a Tyresmoke meet before geting busy capturing the moment with my Canon.

I think this is what you will be witnessing.

Audi RS4 vs rock climber

The new Audi RS4 is reckoned to be an impressive bit of kit. Some think it might even have the measure of the BMW M3. But, frankly, that's irrelevant, as Top Gear answers the question that everyone's been asking: can the new goatee-grilled super saloon beat a man to the top of a rock face?

The setting for this remarkable challenge is the Verdon Gorge in France, often called Europe's Grand Canyon (by the French tourist board). The climber is Leo Houlding, who is brave for a living, and the driver is Jeremy Clarkson, who isn't.

Clearly the Audi can't drive up a cliff face, but happily someone has built a road up the gorge, perfect for testing the car's acceleration and handling. No such gentle gradients for the climber, he's going straight up sheer rock with only a slim rope keeping him from going home in a bucket. Prepare for epic scenery, buttock-clenching bravery and an ending you simply cannot miss.

Can't Wait to see it!!

Clarkson was on Breakfast on BBC1 just now. They had a small piece about the RS4 and the rock climber.

What can I say the RS4 sounds awesome and clarksons comments about it were great for those that are getting one. The steering is now great and gives you loads of confidence, the new rear wheel biased 4wd drive means the car is no longer all nose heavy, and my god does it go.
