Italian term or phrase: in verticale sull’asfalto
The directors instructions for this car commercial start off with a POV from behind the car's grille, as it speeds along a snowy concrete road. I have started with "We leave behind, almost vertically,..." but I think there may be a better way of phrasing this.

Stacchiamo quasi in verticale sull’asfalto (ora siamo fuori dalla griglia)
