It gets up to almost 120 in the summer here, and I park outside at work.
No black cars for me, thank you.
I couldn't comprehend that level of heat.
Hell when I picked up that black W12 from TN the car was going into thermal protection for the powered blind motors! Even up by me black cars always have more heat related interior issues like headliner glue failure etc
So it's not metallic black? As I mentioned, that's a no go for me. My 94 Supra and 08 IS250 were terrible. I remember my Supra had to get some minor paint on the hood and it was a one stage paint without a separate clearcoat. F that.
Extremely hard to get repainted, the 4.0 is normal black and it's been repainted on near every body panel already (poorly) so I don't care. I bought it that way and only bothered to correct and ceramic, not worth a wet sand/repaint IMO
Thanks. My A6 was a 2016. Here's a pic. Not the best but it seems to be the only one that I can find.
Nice C7! What was your spec? I like how floret has more blue subtones, looks very nice when it color shifts at twilight. Ice is a little less blue more grey
Garage is very nice as well, my dream garage would be a half circle of bays enclosing most of a courtyard with 12 bays total lol!

Huh?
And yep it's hot in TN in the summer lol. I know I'm bitchign about being up here in NY but it sure is nice, weather wise in the dead of August. For perspective it's so hot there now, my Mom won't let our cat out at home (she's watching her) bc it's too hot. The cat would be fine, but still.

The D4s have temperature probes in the mechanized parts to prevent damage, I had the car out in direct sunlight in a park while I was inspecting it and ambient was 97*
The car binged at me and refused to move the sunroof shades and rear shade from how much heat got soaked in, partially because of the black paint. When back to the hotel garage they worked just fine and the code reader logged a thermal event. My D4s have 5 powered shades you can use to block out various windows and the sunroofs etc, fairly common feature on flagships
