    The engine was built and tuned at Mercedes factory when they were still racing in European Truck Racing Series. That engine in the video was still fine tuned for Pikes Peak Hill Climb. It's hard to know what's inside those engines because they are leased from the factory and racers are not allowed to touch them. When they blow, new engine is swapped and the old one send to the factory.
