Lotus Evora Sport 410 (Research & Development)

The Lotus Evora Sport 410's Research & Development event was released as the 20th R&D event as part of the Car Blueprints Update in Asphalt 8: Airborne on April 25, 2017 after the Sbarro Sparta's Enduro Double Down event. The event was revived as the 60th R&D event as part of the Fast Lane Update's Asphalt Moments Series on February 22, 2019, with a prerequisite of VIP Level 3.
There are 4 Labs spanning a total of 44 Tests with a time limit of 9 days once the event is started.
The labs will unlock in the following schedule:
* Lab 002: 1 day later, or pay 
* Lab 003: 3 days later, or pay 
* Lab 004: 6 days later, or pay

* Instead of upgrading to MAX+PRO, use the following tune for the whole R&D (MAX:0500 PRO:5050). This allows for the R&D to be completed but still retain a multiplayer tuning setup for the Lotus Evora Sport 410. On the other hand, though, it is highly recommended to not make a mistake at the final Ultimate AI Challenge, even with a MAX+PRO car.
* After the increased Pro Kit card requirements that came with the Fast Lane Update, the [0500 5050] tune requires 36 . As the event gives only 6 engines, 30 more must be acquired by other means.
* In Cloud Nine, infected AIs tend to travel the long routes much faster than the player can travel through the cave shortcut route. To avoid unnecessary infection, take the long route instead of the cave shortcut route.
* The time limit for Test .042. can be difficult to keep track of as Infected races do not show the player's race time until the post-race results. The traffic and infected AI racers also increase the chances of a Wreck (especially with Infection Overload) and, if coupled with the Evora Sport 410's high tendency to randomly skid when touching a sidewalk, can make Test .042. very perilous.
== Trivia ==
* The Lotus Evora Sport 410's R&D event was originally meant to be based on the Peugeot SR1's eventhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yrAZUSFXJ0wxqtfAcX01LRBCNxmcRy6q7SybfKwAa08/edit#gid=190350543, with the original amounts of Tests and Labs being 45 and 3, respectively. This is due to larger Credits rewards being awarded at Tests 10, 18, 25, 33, and 40.
** The Lotus Evora Sport 410's R&D event is the first R&D event that contains a number of Tests that isn't evenly divisible by 5.
*** The same can be said for the Mazda RX-8 Special Edition's R&D event, which is based on this R&D event itself, but with the Credit and Token rewards correctly placed.
* This R&D event is also the first to not actually award the car after completing all tests but blueprints instead.
* The quote for Test .033. suggests an Unplugged race, "Personally, I don't believe a driver should rely on Nitro. So win this race without a drop of it, and you'll earn my respect" but a Classic race is used instead; it is only in the following test that a Unplugged race is used. It is unknown if this is intentional or an oversight.
** Logically, Test .034.'s quote should go to Test .033. and vice versa.
