I"m sure this car has been done many times but i figured I'd share my progress on my first ever model. Crits always appreciated!

    I'd recommend using a blin or phong material instead of a lambert (something with a medium gloss value). Seeing the specular highlight moving across your model while you work, will help you keep your edge flow clean, which will then make sure you get nicer reflections when you render.

    I would agree, though I wouldn't add specular until you're at the point of starting to think about subdivision, as it won't really offer too much at an early stage.

    Looking good. You may have a few too many lines at this stage for me, may make your edge flow a little wobbly if you're still at the stage of forming the basic shape. Hats off to you, a Koenigsegg is a super tricky car for a first car model!

    For a first time attempt at modeling a car?! your edge flow seems too suggest some effort was spent sifting through a few class A surfaced topology examples beforehand although personally I didn't bother with tertiary detailing, at least not until the primary body shell as one contiguous (connected) mesh was nailed down during the blocking out phase.

    Because an accurately defined silhouette is what sells the model, though of course there's a myriad of technique to employ with this type of subject and that's fair enough but just be aware adding panel cuts this early in the first initial pass, from past experience can be a fiddly time sink for the novice.
