Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering if it's normal for the front hood of the 0.9L TwinAir 500 to be very hot (basically scalding hot) after a 30 minute drive around the suburbs? I popped the hood and I could barely manage to quickly latch it up before it started burning my fingers. It's winter here, so the ambient temperature is about 15-20ºC.
This is my first car so excuse me if this sounds like a no-brainer question. And does the turbo cause the engine to run hotter as well? I'm guessing the very limited space tends to keep the heat bottled up more than with bigger cars.
