Shooting cars is a difficult challenge, and there are several rules to be followed, particularly in order to get "motion"
Idealy, the car needs to be shot with the nose either pointing to left of the frame, this gives a sense of speed. if the car is pointind the other way (right) then it gives a sense of "parked power" and is generally shot at a lower angle (tire height) It's really great fun to shoot cars and I think that you did quite nicely.
here is a link to a shot of a "maquette" for a BMW canada jod that was done later, the "maquette" is shot/lit in exactly the same way as the car will be when the real car comes to the studio.
