This tutorial was done in 3DS Max but can easily be done with other 3D programs like Hexagon, Silo and Blender which are capable of doing box modeling. I think it is one of the most detailed car modeling tutorials I have come across in a long time.

This is an excellent plugin, I purchased it to upgrade the existing shadow catcher in Carrara 6 Pro.  This allows the use of global illumination with the shadow catcher not currently possible in Carrara 6 Pro.

This picture was rendered using the shader plus plugin with an HDRI image for lighting.  Below is a link to their website.
