Sadly, I've heard of this. When French cars are challenged to a race, they become horribly afraid and they spontaneously combust. Cleary that was the case here.

Unless it's modified it is not a Turbo AWD car. The Clio V6 packs a naturally aspirated V6 where the rear seats are supposed to go driving the rear wheels only, not all four. A bad *** hatch indeed.
