Hired specialists/ enthusiasts
Similar to the specialists that you can hire to reduce engineering time, if you hire an enthusiast in one particular niche that person would know little things that would make the car better for that niche, things that would be impractical to implement in the game for the player to control.
For example I am an off road enthusiast, Something I would look at and improve on the design would be making sure everything is tucked up and out of the way as much as possible so that they don't catch on objects on the trail, or rough road. No decrease in engineering time, but a bonus to its off road capability.
