Piero Remor supplied MV Agusta with a new 500 cc four-cylinder, the MV Agusta 500 4C (ilindri) (also known as the MV Agusta 500 Bialbero Corsa). From drawing board to test track it only took 15 weeks, but that wasn't surprising because the engine was nearly identical to the one in the Gilera 500 4C. MV Agusta and Gilera entered almost the same bikes in the 1950 World Championship, something Gilera was unhappy with. Count Domenico Agusta never disclosed the technical data of his machines and staff, technical staff and drivers were forbidden to divulge anything about the machines. Because several newer machines were later sold through auctions, facts about these are known, but machines from the early years sometimes remain a mystery. For example, there are different estimates of the engine configuration in 1950.
