The video posted in another comment doesn't look that bad.

I am not sure about the grade, but one of the Bangalore's weekend gateway has some steep sections(a low average grade but some sections are steep).

That footage is from a rally but every weekend, fwd cars with 800/1000cc engines and a peak torque of about 70 Nm do it just fine. Most of the cars have 2-5 occupants decreasing the already low torque/kg, and almost the whole climb is done in a bumper to bumper traffic(no momentum for the climb).
