Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.

The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.

The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car's body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.

I mean, if you're a middle age bro with a retail supervisor job compensating to show off to teen girls, I guess.

    I see, thanks for pointing out that I'm a stereotype. FML

    TBF, the 350Z was the sports car to have when I was a teenager. Not my fault that I can only afford one just now in my mid-30s, haha. I blame Ronald Regan for screwing over working-class citizens. If I had the money my parents had, I'd be driving an EV by now.

    (edit: and FWIW I'm in a happy relationship with an adult woman similar to my age)
