Obligatory V6 Mustang starts at $22,200.

This is Bill. Bill passed about seven cars across a double yellow and made me pullover to see the Lambo. Bill liked it. Bill has done a lot of cocaine in his life.

Yea but...Autoblog.

holy trees with dicks repetitive comments.

Gold isn't necessarily as good a heat reflector as other materials, but the fact that it doesn't oxidize makes it work much better over the long term.

Gold is also a good thermal conductor. I work with thermal control hardware for satellites, and when there's an interface between two components that heat has to pass through, a gold plating is sometimes applied to boost the heat transfer.

Just terrible. Comments on youtube state the driver tried to cross during the yellow light but was obviously very late in doing so. I hope he gets the toughest punishment possible.

Gold is a very good reflector of thermal radiation. Usually put around exhaust systems of F1 cars to reflect heat back into the exhaust system and away from the engine internals. Here I think its mostly for shits and giggles, but it would to a degree reflect the thermal radiation from the engine bay away from the

It's great at reflecting heat, nasa uses it to shield astronauts from the powerful sun.

Gold is often used as a heat reflector. In this case, it is used to reflect heat radiated from the engine and other hot components. Another case you can see gold being used is in the engine bay of the McLaren F1. The engine bay lid is lined with gold leaf.

Pretty much already been mentioned, but I can confirm it's for its exceptional thermal properties. See: the gold-lined engine bay of the mclaren F1:

Heat refraction.

I don't think owners of this car slum it in a bar trying to pick up chicks.

Heat reflector, I think? McLaren F1 had gold foiling all along the inside of it's engine bay for that reason, I believe.

gold is a great heat reflector. that's why the engine bay of the mclaren f1 is coated in it

It has something to do with insulation, I believe. I can't give you the specific reason for it, but there is a purpose.

I think it's a really good heat insulator. Not 100% on that though

I concur with Spiegel and anacanapana. If he never posted it to YouTube, or waited for the statute of limitations to expire before posting it he never would have been caught.

And 4WD will still be extra...
