I would think that for most of us, we would never push the ICE enough to test if its cooling system is adequate for the most demanding loads.
Others have reported no problems in moutain passes, so I'm more suspicious about that particular vehicle than a design issue. Engine heating is something that all cars have to deal with, and in reality there is nothing different in this car in that respect other than a higher RPM, and you'd think they'd know how to handle that..

I'd find it hard to believe they'd mess the cooling system for the ICE up...
