Can anyone identify the model from this one step of the instructions? Modern V-12

This is in a Firestone in south Austin. I’m just kind of curious. It’s a shadow box diorama with a diecast or motorized toy Lotus, plus other unrelated parts.

It’s a 4-cam 12, GTO’s didn’t have those. 
Narrow V, no hole in sump, and an automatic it looks like, DCT’s don’t have pan like that. 
550/575 had transaxles, so they’re out. 
612 I pulled instructions on scalemates, not that. 
Has to be Tamiya AMG Mercedes 600 SEC coupe.

Beat me to it. Tamiya paint callouts were my first big clue. You know, this could be a fun weekly game!

Agree. Rabbit hole o’ the week. 
BTW, your 540k coupe is stellar Jay.

Wow. Thanks. 
I just noticed; those are some HUGE pliers on the floor.

Side cutters! Nut bigger than a knockoff. Guy needs to get some RR nuts, and some tools from the 40 pickup. Lol. 
Fun diversion. I’ve got thousands of posts on Ferrarichat in Guess the car thread. 
Mark here knows more than I, but FLFC (funny little foreign cars) are my thing. 
Interesting that I think the Lotus is a 1/18, I’ve not seen an Elise in 1/24.

Neat dio, clever use of the instructions on the wall.
