Mini and champion rally driver Guerlain Chicherit have teamed up for this publicity stunt, completing the first unassisted backflip in a full sized car (not quite stock). Red Bull attempted the same stunt in 2009 with Pikes Peak champion Rhys Millen, but he crashed on landing.

More detail at The Age (or any number of other places probably!).

YouTube Description:

Guerlain Chicherit makes a bold and complete John Cooper Works leap of faith, this time in the frigid snowscape of Tignes, France. — Agency: Gravi-TProduced by La Main Productions x PVS CompanyDirected by Jean-Francois TatinMusic: Sebastien Galiana

Yep, that's the one. I just didn't find it on the sift. 15cm is a pretty decent effort, too 6 inches in the old units.
