Renault Clio is a pretty nice compact car and all, but, to be honest, it’s not really the type of car you’d want to be driving if you’re thinking of racing with other cars. The thought of a Clio going up against a Ferrari->ke252 or a Lamborghini->ke44 already has ‘massacre’ written all over it.

Continued after the jump.

Apparently, the folks at Renault are undaunted, to say the least. Not only did they bring out a Clio for a good old fashion race, but they somehow decided that it should pick a fight with a more “capable” opponent – a fighter jet, to be exact.

If in some way you’re thinking that a Clio has a chance against a jet, then we have nothing to say to you. But if you’ve got a pretty good sense of humor and realize that this is just one of those hilarious marketing schemes by Renault, then we invite you to watch the video.

And in fairness to the Clio, it was looking good after the first couple of meters before the jet just took off, literally.
