Tips / Warnings

• The minimum tune required to complete the event is [0505 4040]; this requires  2,233,025 and 4 V8 Engines.
  • As the event gives out 5 V8 Engines, players can win the car without having any V8 Engines beforehand.
• Going for the subgoals in Test 48 is not recommended given that it is very difficult to get the 10 knockdowns without getting eliminated, even with a MAX+PRO vehicle.

Trivia

• Prior to its second revival during the Holiday Update, this R&D event was the only pre-Car Blueprints Update R&D event that does not award a currently Blueprint-unlockable car but had not been revived more than once.
• When the R&D debuted before the Lunar New Year 2017 Update, it was possible to unlock the car with a lower configuration than the current minimum tuning; all the player needed to do is to exploit the teleportation glitch to get ahead.
• The quotes for this R&D, in particular the quotes for the last 8 tests indicating that employees of Mercedes-AMG were observing the player's runs, imply that the player and R&D tester were hired by Mercedes-AMG to tune a stock Mercedes-AMG C-Coupé DTM for maximum performance. This could be a reference to the real-life Mercedes-AMG hiring engineers and contracting manufacturers to customise their vehicles.
