Too hot to drive?
I'm halfway through watching The Grand Tour: Sand Job, where they drive three cars through the blisteringly hot Sahara Desert. Clarkson's car is an F Type, and it seems to be holding up (the same cannot be said for Hammond's poor Aston 🥲

It gets pretty hot here (114 yesterday) and in 6 years of owning an F-Type, I've not had issues.

I would think the ecm would match fueling and such to intake air temp and such to keep driveability intact. These temps will surely give your engine cooling i great test. I live in central Ca where temps are simiilar. Make me glad over the last 7 years of ownership i replaced every coolant hose and hard part incuding the rad and all charger hoses. All fiy or no way i could own and enjoy my car. Different model but cooling is cooling you know. Still a jaguar

I found with a high performance turbo (a volvo s60R), the performance drop was noticeably bad mid summer, when the roads would be around 40 celsius (maybe 100 - 110 of your units) and also noticeably better in winter, but I havent noticed any difference in the supercharged jags. There would be one, but not noticeable to me.
