Just one word of caution:

Most European car makers do hot weather testing up to (and only!) a relatively cool temperature of 40 deg C.

From personal experience I know how the premium brands struggle to cope with the extreme temps here. I have a pic of 49 deg C on the dash in my F150!

This level of thermal attack literally destroyed an Audi Q7 I bought when we first arrived over 10 years ago.

The heat knackers electronics, rubber seals, CV boots and tyres.
