no literally my lowered blazer could easily do that its all about controlled torque. as long as you have enough torque to move with out spinning the tires any thing can do this
Any rear wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicle can do this because the weight all goes to the back tires. If you go to a front wheel drive car, it would struggle on this incline.
@spazracing94 how is it unimpressive when you dont know if the car can do it? the touareg easily climbed up this so how is this unimpreesive when you cant get any better?
@scott5146 The problem will be that you wont be able to engage a gear while doing this or touch the clutch,so once you are on and barely rolling you will most likely stall the engine,unless you can keep the first engaged and go with high rpms,but if you can't keep a speed since the engine rpms will be higher,it will either decrease the rpms and stall or blow the clutch.
That is for an ultra heavy vehicle and a not so strong clutch,the Touareg might climb just fine,i don't know.
@scott5146 No problem with manual, just make sure your gearing is short enough. My 4motion golf has a 6 sp transmission, the 1st gear is a real crawler and therefore you dont need to burn your clutch in any circumstances.
@Lehtosenkanava driving up it is no problem for a manual, the hard bit is how to pull away from stationary whilst on the slope (0:17 in the video). You'd need to carefully press the gas pedal more and more whilst engaging the clutch until you had enough power to move forwards, then you could release the brake. This is a recipe for destroying a clutch! Try it on just a 20% or 30% incline in a manual (hard to find on normal roads), this is 80%!
@scott5146 well, same kind of situation is when you tow another car from a ditch. I have had no problem. The 1st gear is so short that you dont need much revs/slow clutch engagin.
@Lehtosenkanava Sure, if you try pulling another car up a 40 degree slope it should be a similar amount of stress on the transmission, but did you really do this at 40 degrees for more than a just a foot? Even the steepest slopes in San Francisco are "only" 17.5 degrees, and it is well known that clutches don't last long there!
4WD or AWD My Navigator does that with true 4wd with diff locks installed,,,nice little beast. If you truly want a monster, get a Jeep or similar with the clearance and spare parts readily available, as all vehicles break. Hate or whatever, just go to the trails and see whats running them. I'm usually outnumbered....but at least im stuck in the middle of f/?king nowhere sitting in style hoping something trail worthy will help my a** out.
ok so i understand the difference between degrees and percentage incline but if 90 degrees is 100% which is vertical, wouldn't that make this less than 50% incline... 45 dgrees is a 50 % incline is it not? so if this is like 40 degrees itd be less than 50 percent incline. no where near 80%.
@91kient 45 degrees is 100% incline, because it's 1 unit vertical for every 1 unit horizontal. A 10% incline (common on roads) means 1 unit vertical for every 10 horizontal units. Slopes higher than 100% are possible, it just means the angle is higher than 45 degrees. The wikipedia entry grade_(slope) explains it quite well and shows a picture.
@ir0nmaiden13 LOL, show me one single reference that states a 50% incline is 50 degrees... look up the entry for "grade_(slope)" on wikipedia, 50% incline is 26.57 degrees (diagram on the right of that wikipedia page). Are you trying to say that 100% incline is 100 degrees? You do realise 90 degrees is vertical?
@ir0nmaiden13 A 100% incline gains 100% of any horizontal distance, in height. So it is equal to 45 degrees. And - sorry to break it to you, but - 50% of vertical in degrees is not 50, it's 45 - or did you think there's 400 degrees in a circle?
@BMX4LIFE733 oops, but either way the video say 80 percent not degrees and then it said degrees in the description and high school? I've finished college already and tech school on top of another tech school im in now.
@szekelymihai what, the gradient? The gradient is calculated at 100%*(vertical distance covered)/(horizontal distance covered), which is the same as 100%*tan(angle), check out the widipedia page on Grade_(slope) for more details and examples...
@ir0nmaiden13 read the description ....From the Frankfurt Motorshow 2009. Grade labelled as 80% at the location, which is approximately 40°. >>>>40 degrees .

WHY DO YOU BOTHER TO APPEAR SMART WHEN IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU GET A HEADACHE !!

SO THEN AN 80 DEGREE ANGLE IS JUST SHY OF VERTICAL !! DOES THAT INCLINE LOOK "ALMOST" VERTICAL TO YOU !!!
@WMUWWWWUF AND WHY DO YOU WANT TO APPEAR SMART WHEN EVERYONE KNOWS THAT % and ° aren't the same...... 80% means that after a 100m drive ur altutude is raised by 80 meters and 40° means the angle which in u drive tard
@WMUWWWWUF day 4: Though supplies are still full, still no sign of WMUWWWWUF's comment. I'm beginning to wonder if he realized he's a douche bag and decided not to reply.
40 degree? Well the working angle of a land rover is 45 degrees. And that's just the recommended angle. Land rovers also have anti stall, they will drive themselves up that. I've had my defender and Discovery 3 up wet mud banks that high more like 60 or 70 degrees. My defender will climb 4 feet up a wall.
@jenzzbol yep - i think i could do this once in my car, then I'd need a new clutch. This guy was driving round the track every few minutes the whole day.
@Rastamut any car with 4WD and an automatic transmission should be able to do this, shouldn't it? Or maybe even a 2WD could manage it if the ramp was grippy enough.
@scott5146 Maybe in a straight shot, but stop and go on an incline like this? No. The diff/transmission would be extremely stressed, definitely heat up to a point that is above the normal operating temp, and could very possibly break something after the first attempt.
@scott5146 depends what kind of 2 wheel drive car it is.. .. and if it had a high enough ride hight so its body trim won't catch of the sharper angles at the bottom part of the ramp or get caugh in the middle as it is coming over the top it should be able to.
and has high clearance which is good enough for the offroading I do. I was being sarcastic when I made my comment because I know this tuareg is better offroad than my H2, but it looked easy as fuck, therefore any car can go up that incline
@aForkandaSpoon Look up grade(slope) on wikipedia - 80% certainly does not mean 72°, it means either 39° (as is this case) or 53° depending on what definition is used.
guys, 80 percent is just a ratio, not an angle ! It's mathematically an incline of y=0,8x. In which 0,8 is the derivative of the function y=0,8x... Concretely when you go 1 meter straight, you'll have to go 0,8 meter perpendicularly to reach y=0,8x.
It depends which system you use. If its the system used on UK roads its the height climbed against the distance travelled along the slope. In this case 100% is verticle. (90degree).
I never thought about it that way, are you sure UK uses that system? I couldn't find any reference to say either way for sure, apart from the wikipedia page on 'grade (slope)' which only mentions vertical rise against horizontal distance (they call it 'run').
I was absolutely certain, but now I've tried to find the proof I can't! All I discovered was a discussion on a cycling website (BikeRadar. com) where cyclists are heatedly discussing this topic. Some are arguing that my method is correct, and others are arguing for your method.
@codenamecordon Well, in Finland 100% climb means that on 1 meter way forward you get 1 meter higher. Of course you can be still right, 'cause in fact we aren't part of Scandinavia, but are you sure about that? Only because I think, that it's pretty common misunderstanding that 100% means 90 degrees.
@Finnairbus sorry, my mistake. ofcourse you are right. I had like 39C fever when I wrote that comment, so I thought that 1 meter forwards and 1 meter up means you will stand still :D which ofcourse isn't true :)
@scott5146 Not convinced by that either... UK system is usually shown in old school style, i.e. 100% would be '1 in 1', 22.5% would be '1 in 2' (where 1 inch height difference per 2 inch distance).
@computerg33k99 I always thought 1 in 1 meant 1 up for every 1 horizontal, not for every 1 along the slope, but to be honest I never thought that much about it. But anyway, let's call this "about 45 degrees" then :-) The information sign there said 80% slope - so I guess in Germany they use the system as detailed on wikipedia.
@scott5146 Hmm, the standard rule is 1% = 1 foot up, over 100 feet distance. So 80% is 80 feet up, for 100 feet of distance as is relative to this video, and makes sense.. that is a very steep steep slope. Makes me jealous of folks using automatics (About the ONLY time I'll be jealous) because in a manual, you'd have to let that thing slip like a son of a gun to stop and get going again up it! That, or just pop it into 4 low and let the foot off the gas and idle up it.
@WowMike2002 yeh I always thought that too, but maybe just because I'm coming from a maths/engineering background where GRADient is always y/x (and that's what the wikipedia page says) - to be honest I never thought about it that much. It seems like there might be another definition though, of y/d - where d is the hypotenuse of the slope. Would be interesting if all the people who are saying 100% = 90° could say what % grade a 45° slope is.
you are wrong, 100% mean that the length and the height is the same, so if you travel 100m horizontally, you will climb 100m vertically. 100% = 45 degree
@LorddGray exactly, any car (or actually any object) would get up there if you chucked it hard enough (ignoring any damage resulting!). In order to stop on the hill and then start again you need enough grip from the driven wheels, for most 2WD cars you will not have enough grip at this slope to pull away (you should be able to hold it on the brakes though). Any 4WD car should be able to do the same as the Touareg in the video.
@Richona Basically, what you are saying is true, but what I'm trying to say is that just taking some random ramp like this (Which would only occur in the real world if it were groomed) and running a car up it doesn't prove anything, unless we get some other cars for comparison.
If the tires have grip, and there is enough clearance for the slope, anything can go up anything. If you stretched it out a bit more so the immediate angles were less sharp, but the 80% was still there, an Impala could go up that.
@WhoHowWhereWhenWhat is that not the point of 4x4. the height allows for a more severe approach and departure angle, so with enough torque and grip it can conquer harder terrain?
@dmyl004 You're right. Especially if they have an abundance of traction, which they do in this video. Definately a demonstration for road-going customers.
no literally my lowered blazer could easily do that its all about controlled torque. as long as you have enough torque to move with out spinning the tires any thing can do this

@extremepsychogamer With your H2? Sorry mate but every driver of an offroad car will agree that the H2 only looks tough...

@MrLowAltitude
and has high clearance which is good enough for the offroading I do. I was being sarcastic when I made my comment because I know this tuareg is better offroad than my H2, but it looked easy as fuck, therefore any car can go up that incline

@aForkandaSpoon Look up grade(slope) on wikipedia - 80% certainly does not mean 72°, it means either 39° (as is this case) or 53° depending on what definition is used.
scott5146 2 months ago
@scott5146 I pulled it out of 180 instead of 360 or 90, and it was the truth, I was expecting a 72° slope. But now I know

HeavyHitter5150 2 months ago
guys, 80 percent is just a ratio, not an angle ! It's mathematically an incline of y=0,8x. In which 0,8 is the derivative of the function y=0,8x... Concretely when you go 1 meter straight, you'll have to go 0,8 meter perpendicularly to reach y=0,8x.

@mistervova11: you do realise what 80% means? Hint: 100% = 45 degree slope.
scott5146 3 months ago 57
@scott5146
It depends which system you use. If its the system used on UK roads its the height climbed against the distance travelled along the slope. In this case 100% is verticle. (90degree).

@sparkygl0s
I never thought about it that way, are you sure UK uses that system? I couldn't find any reference to say either way for sure, apart from the wikipedia page on 'grade (slope)' which only mentions vertical rise against horizontal distance (they call it 'run').
scott5146 3 months ago
@scott5146
I was absolutely certain, but now I've tried to find the proof I can't! All I discovered was a discussion on a cycling website (BikeRadar. com) where cyclists are heatedly discussing this topic. Some are arguing that my method is correct, and others are arguing for your method.

@codenamecordon Well, in Finland 100% climb means that on 1 meter way forward you get 1 meter higher. Of course you can be still right, 'cause in fact we aren't part of Scandinavia, but are you sure about that? Only because I think, that it's pretty common misunderstanding that 100% means 90 degrees.
Finnairbus 2 months ago
@Finnairbus sorry, my mistake. ofcourse you are right. I had like 39C fever when I wrote that comment, so I thought that 1 meter forwards and 1 meter up means you will stand still :D which ofcourse isn't true :)
codenamecordon 2 months ago
@scott5146 Not convinced by that either... UK system is usually shown in old school style, i.e. 100% would be '1 in 1', 22.5% would be '1 in 2' (where 1 inch height difference per 2 inch distance).
computerg33k99 3 months ago
@computerg33k99 I always thought 1 in 1 meant 1 up for every 1 horizontal, not for every 1 along the slope, but to be honest I never thought that much about it. But anyway, let's call this "about 45 degrees" then :-) The information sign there said 80% slope - so I guess in Germany they use the system as detailed on wikipedia.
scott5146 3 months ago
@scott5146 Hmm, the standard rule is 1% = 1 foot up, over 100 feet distance. So 80% is 80 feet up, for 100 feet of distance as is relative to this video, and makes sense.. that is a very steep steep slope. Makes me jealous of folks using automatics (About the ONLY time I'll be jealous) because in a manual, you'd have to let that thing slip like a son of a gun to stop and get going again up it! That, or just pop it into 4 low and let the foot off the gas and idle up it.
WowMike2002 2 months ago
@WowMike2002 yeh I always thought that too, but maybe just because I'm coming from a maths/engineering background where GRADient is always y/x (and that's what the wikipedia page says) - to be honest I never thought about it that much. It seems like there might be another definition though, of y/d - where d is the hypotenuse of the slope. Would be interesting if all the people who are saying 100% = 90° could say what % grade a 45° slope is.
scott5146 2 months ago
@sparkygl0s
you are wrong, 100% mean that the length and the height is the same, so if you travel 100m horizontally, you will climb 100m vertically. 100% = 45 degree

I agree that most cars could go up it if they took a good run at it. But to roll up slowly, stop, start, stop and start again is another matter.
LorddGray 4 months ago 8
@LorddGray exactly, any car (or actually any object) would get up there if you chucked it hard enough (ignoring any damage resulting!). In order to stop on the hill and then start again you need enough grip from the driven wheels, for most 2WD cars you will not have enough grip at this slope to pull away (you should be able to hold it on the brakes though). Any 4WD car should be able to do the same as the Touareg in the video.

@Richona Basically, what you are saying is true, but what I'm trying to say is that just taking some random ramp like this (Which would only occur in the real world if it were groomed) and running a car up it doesn't prove anything, unless we get some other cars for comparison.
WhoHowWhereWhenWhat 4 months ago
If the tires have grip, and there is enough clearance for the slope, anything can go up anything. If you stretched it out a bit more so the immediate angles were less sharp, but the 80% was still there, an Impala could go up that.
WhoHowWhereWhenWhat 5 months ago
@WhoHowWhereWhenWhat is that not the point of 4x4. the height allows for a more severe approach and departure angle, so with enough torque and grip it can conquer harder terrain?

@xakep666 : i'm just going by what the information board said. Given that 100% is 45 degrees, this being 80% seemed reasonable.

These tests showing 4x4s going up a metal ramp are just to impress people who never go 4x4ing. Its really not that impressive.
A suzuki vitara could do this incline.
