The sequence where the tyres roll up a slope looks particularly impressive but is very simple. Steiner says that there is a weight [in each] tyre and when the tyre is knocked, the weight is displaced and in an attempt to rebalance itself, the tyre rolls up the slope.
i thought the same as you my friend- but it is real. i've seen the making of video.

actually it's filmed in two. you can see the join if you look very carefully at the exhaust rolling!

I can't believe how everyone believes this is real, you've all been had by the power of the marketing machine!
Of course it's CGI, it llooks good but not really lifelike at all.
The physics are not very well done IMO. 8/10

It was done in two takes, the join is at exactly 1:00 in, where the silencer rolls along and the camera starts moving quickly.

Erm.. If this is not CGI would someone care to explain how those tyres manage to roll UP a ramp.
